I drove to my networking meeting this morning and I take the Merritt Parkway (one of the more beautiful highways in the U.S.). I got off at the North Street exit and next thing I know, I’m on the Post Road. 10 minutes evaporated from my life — it’s like those X-Files episodes where people lose time when abducted by aliens. One second I’m exiting onto North Street and the next, I’m on the Post Road.

Guest post from Rick Tiemann: You can’t just take it for granted and assume that having a business plan in place is all it takes in order to develop your leadership program. You also can’t take for granted that having a leadership development program in place will enhance the quality of the leaders within your organization. You must also have a corporate culture that emulates your business plan.

There is a direct relationship between leadership and project success. Transformational leadership will drive the achievements of your project, but it is team building that makes it happen. Think of team building as the truck that carries the leadership to the project’s success — it is the No. 1 piece of equipment that leaders need to make a project work.

It is so very hard to keep up, isn’t it? I am so far behind in my stack of books to read. But, there are only so many hours in the day – so many books, so little time. This week, Tom Friedman had a column recommending another new book. The book is Age of… Read More Maybe it will turn into a great new Age of Discovery – Insight from Tom Freidman, Ian Goldin & Chris Kutarna.

How does one find, or how did you find, a mentor/mentee? Before finding a mentor, a person should ask “what do I want to be the best at?” and then find the person whom they feel is currently the best at whatever they want to me the best at. Once you identify this person, you become a scholar at their life’s work and then you make every effort possible to make contact with this person.
Leadership and Management brings together the best content for leadership and management professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Collaboration. Empowerment. Win/Win. Integrity. Authenticity. We’re finally recognizing the efficacy of acting with humanitarian values! But how do we DO it? How do we know what, or if, to change our comfortable communication patterns? How do we modify any unconscious behaviors to make new habitual choices and recognize when what we’re doing no longer is sufficient?

I was meeting with a young pastor who wants to grow as a leader. He lives in small town. He is young, but his staff is even younger. There are not a lot of seasoned leaders in his church – or at least he not discovered any. (I usually think there are leaders who simply haven’t been tapped, but I understood his dilemma.). The church looks to him to lead and, wisely, he knows he needs to develop his leadership skills.

HBR STAFF. Steve should have been celebrating. A 30-something entrepreneur in the Bay area, he had just closed a multi-million dollar round of Series A financing for his startup. Instead, he found himself in his doctor’s office – 25 pounds overweight, physically exhausted, sleep-deprived and with a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. This news only aggravated the anxiety and disconnect he had been feeling for months.

Chris is a twenty-something entrepreneur in the midst of her start-up. Designing her business cards, she proudly, yet innocently, appoints herself with the title Chief Executive Officer. Chris doesn’t realize it but she’s just placed her fledgling business at a long-term disadvantage. What? Why shouldn’t she be a CEO? Calling herself a CEO is the accepted norm.

“I think I am a pretty good coach,” the executive across the desk said to us. Impressed with his positive attitude about himself, we asked, “How do you know?” He said he had attended a coaching course and learned many of the techniques of good coaching. That triggered a question for us. How many leaders believe they are better coaches than they really are?

paul Garbett for HBR. A global pharmaceutical company was about to lose the strategic advantage of several blockbuster drugs coming off patent. In five years, the revenue shortfall would be significant. The senior commercial and scientific directors formed a “circle of leaders” comprised of 23 senior managers who had no meaningful history of collaboration on strategic initiatives.

Which kinds of knowledge workers are at high risk of job loss thanks to smart machines? Usually we don’t love getting that question, because the answer isn’t the simple one interviewers are seeking. Many jobs include tasks that can and will be automated, but by the same token, almost all jobs have major elements that — for the foreseeable future — won’t be possible for computers to handle.

There is a chronological no-man’s land that executives steer diligently clear of, as if it were a sort of Bermuda triangle. Think about it. When did you last hear a CEO utter the words, “In nine months time…” or “This time next year…” or “By the fall…” We have worked with corporations throughout the world, and the phrase we simply never hear is this: “the medium term.” The medium term — what is going to happen in six m

My children are now old enough to go downstairs and turn on the TV by themselves. It’s an important moment in their lives — and the lives of their parents. The children have the independence of choosing what they watch, and the parents have the opportunity to stay in bed on a weekend morning. This developmental stage has been in place for decades and, I confess, it’s one I secretly looked forward to.

Earlier this month Jonah Peretti, the founder and CEO of global internet news company BuzzFeed, took a public political stand. He broke off an advertising deal with the Republican National Committee (RNC) worth $1.3 million, due to presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign. In a memo to employees, Peretti wrote, “The Trump campaign is directly opposed to the freedoms of our employees in the United States and around the world and in some cases, such as his proposed ban
