Dear Leader: I’ve been thinking a lot, lately, about our time together – the good and the bad – and today I felt like writing you a letter. No, not a letter of resignation. Rather, a letter of thanks. For all you’ve done for me, I want to say “way to go!”. You probably don’t hear it all that often, but you’ve made a huge impact on me. Both as a person and as a professional.
Leading in Context

By Linda Fisher Thornton One of the hallmark requirements of ethical leadership is that we CARE about people, about their success, and about creating a positive work environment. If leaders fail to demonstrate that they care, that harms the culture. The 9 behaviors below are red flags for employees - pointing out that a leader doesn't care.

Assertiveness and empowerment can cause real problems when overused or applied out of context. They become maladaptive responses — just like anything taken to its extreme. Does this influence the effectiveness and maturity of your leadership? An epidemic of entitlement, irresponsibility and self-absorption. Can you relate? Coworkers can’t make decisions.
Leadership and Management brings together the best content for leadership and management professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

A few years ago Michael Norton and his buddies wrote about “The Ikea Effect” which they describe this way: “When people construct products themselves, they come to overvalue their (often poorly made) creations.” This turns out to be an important finding for consultants. Norton’s gang studied their hypothesis using origami, which is not a product most people buy, but was undoubtedly easier for the researchers to haul around than pallets of build-it-yourself kitchens.

My mom often used to say to me, “I’m not a mind reader. You have to talk to me. You may think I know what you’re thinking, but I don’t.” The same is true for your employees—they can’t read your minds, which means you have to communicate with them!

Call this “Leadership by Showing Up!” Here’s a really obvious reminder. I speak to executive teams, and slightly larger groups of folks — usually presenting an extended book synopsis. I do this in all kinds of organizations. In some, the “leaders” (the CEO; city managers for municipal governments) show up. And, he/she doesn’t just show up.… Read More “Leadership by Showing Up!

You are broadcasting messages every day, both verbal and non-verbal, and they tell others what you and your company think of yourself and the world. If you are not aware of the messages you are sending, others are and one’s perception has impact on your strategy’s bottom line. Your company culture is vital to attracting, retaining, developing and advancing talent.

There is one common struggle every pastor seems to face. I’ve seen it dozens of pastors. I often hear it on Mondays – even after a great Sunday. I’ve been guilty of this one – many times. It was true in church planting and in church revitalization. And, this common struggle, I’m not sure, but it could be a common struggle for every leader, regardless of what they are leading.

Over the past three years, we have partnered with the U.S. Travel Association to more clearly understand the relationship between well-being and taking time off from work. Our hypothesis has been that without recovery periods, our ability to continue performing at high levels diminishes significantly. This is in direct conflict with the common misconception that the longer you persevere at work, the more successful you will become.

In 2007 I decided enough was enough. I had been running my own business for a couple of years and I constantly felt stressed. I had no clear boundaries between work and personal time, and I rarely stopped working without feeling guilty. Although I enjoyed my work and was compensated well for it, the constant stress of overwork prevented me from feeling like a real success.

Headlines today are filled with blatant examples of workplace bias, from employees who give black coworkers nooses , to pay disparities in soccer, to supervisors’ admonitions that women need to “ get along with the boys.” These are obvious, inflammatory, and offensive behaviors that deserve vigorous scrutiny. Yet attention to bias’s blatant forms should not divert attention from its subtle ones.

Juan Díaz-Faes for HBR. A radical demographic shift is transforming the nature of consumer markets. Until the turn of the century, population growth powered more than half of global consumption. As population growth slows, that will fall to only one-quarter in the next 15 years. Per capita spending will be the engine of consumption growth. In this new world, companies need to know which consumers have the purchasing firepower, where they are, what they want to buy, and what drives their spe

Large, well-established companies in need of long-term growth often turn to M&A. Kraft Foods and Heinz, AB Inbev and SABMiller, or Royal Dutch Shell and British Gas come to mind. Yet the typical M&A and postmerger integration (PMI) approach has a famously poor track record: close to 60% of M&As fail to create value. What needs to change?

There are two reasons for a company to raise wages: to improve profitability, or to improve the lives of its workers. When wages are rising in the economy, those two motivations overlap. When wages are stagnant, they can potentially conflict. Jamie Dimon wants you to know that JPMorgan Chase is raising wages, and that it’s not doing so merely to improve its profitability. “A pay increase is the right thing to do,” he wrote today in a New York Times op-ed , because “it ena

Welcome to Amazon’s bold new pricing initiative, which I’m calling the “In Jeff We Trust” strategy. The New York Times recently reported that Amazon is scaling back in mentioning list prices for products it sells. When a list price is not noted, Amazon simply provides the price it is charging. Even on Prime Day , Amazon resisted noting list prices — which would have made the deals appear even more attractive — on most of its sale items.
