Why is payroll considered an expense, a liability? I would like to know who decided, way back in the dark ages, that payroll was to be placed in the expense side of a financial report. This fundamentally flawed perspective has had a damaging effect on our workforce since time began. Payroll is also considered a liability and a burden. It may make sense in order to count beans, but it makes no sense when you must get work done through other people.

Change Starts Here

SEPTEMBER 2, 2015

As change agents at work, we spend much of our effort on motivating people to change. However, even if someone is motivated to do something differently, they still need to be able to do it. Much of resistance is not a lack of motivation, but being daunted by the task ahead. It’s not that they won’t, but that they can’t. Our job as change agents is not just to convince people to change, but to enable them to do it.

Information, when used to influence or sell, has cost us untold loss in business and relationships. It actually causes resistance. Information Causes Resistance. For some reason, we maintain a long-standing belief that if we offer the right people the right information at the right time, presented in the right way, those it's intended to influence will be duly impressed and adopt it.

Every pastor I know needs a best friend. Don’t we all? Most likely the pastor has a best friend in a spouse. I hope so. I encourage it. My wife is that for me. My boys are also. But, I think there’s more. And, more these days than ever. And, if “best” is too strong a word, pick your own word. Good. Close. Trusted. Every pastor needs a friend, besides a spouse — of the same gender — who knows them well and can encourage and challenge like no one else can.

The world is full of people with opinions. Television, radio, and other media are brimming over with commentators making suggestions and offering seemingly authoritative advice to government officials and corporate executives about what they ought to do. At dinners and cocktail parties — and around the water cooler at work — we talk about what others should do or should have done, or the flaws of our bosses.

Leaders ascend to their positions by mastering today’s (or even yesterday’s) business. Almost by definition, they don’t have first-hand experience with a disruptive shift in their market when they encounter it. A lack of intuition around the new and different can at best slow progress and at worst lead to serious strategic missteps.

HBR STAFF. Over the past decade, we have learned how our brains are hardwired for emotional contagion. Emotions spread via a wireless network of mirror neurons, which are tiny parts of the brain that allow us to empathize with others and understand what they’re feeling. When you see someone yawn, mirror neurons can activate, making you yawn, in turn.
