I was stunned like many of you were to hear about the attacks in Paris by terrorists. I was especially concerned because I have friends living there. Mark Oldham and Gretchen Beil were students in my youth group, and I was their youth pastor through their junior high and high school years. After high school, they married and eventually ended up living Paris.

Guest post By John Sweeney: Innovation is foundational to business leadership. We empower individuals across disciplines to evaluate, orchestrate, strategize, create and hire, but most importantly, we empower others to innovate. Many leaders may consider empowerment a handoff – a simple process of delegating work. For the most process-oriented tasks, that assumption may be true.

Character is repetition. Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” But, there’s more. “Character is destiny.” Heraclitus. You become what you repeatedly do. That’s hope and responsibility. Occasional anger doesn’t make you an angry leader, repeated does. Patterns of behavior reveal, develop, and establish character. Unchallenged patterns congeal character.

Engaging Leader

Several years ago, I was helping to plan workforce communications for a Fortune 500 financial services company. Early in the project, I met a leadership consultant from another firm that was serving the same client. Her research revealed amazing insights about leadership effectiveness, and I sent her a handwritten thank-you note expressing genuine gratitude for […].

I’m the leader. Are you impressed? I’m the guy others report to each day. Impressed some more? Don’t be. It just means I have a lot of heartburn. Seriously, I think we sometimes take leadership too seriously. We think without the leader nothing good can happen on a team. Not true. Don’t misunderstand. We need good leadership.

As I previously mentioned in my recent post “How to Rank a Website,” leverage is one of the fastest techniques you can use to grow a website. There are a lot of ways you can use leverage to increase your website revenue. Recently, one of the 200 websites I helped launched for my company received 100,000 hits and reviews in a 90-minute period, thanks to one pretty and popular actress.

It is very hard for us today to remember (or learn if we are too young) what the situation was like in 1980 (see the bottom of the post for some data on the economy at that time). Specifically two areas were very different back then: the USA economy and the media landscape. On June 24th 1980, NBC broadcast a special program in prime time: “If Japan Can, Why Cant We?

I believe that cold calls are quite important as part of an overall sales strategy. How they are done, however, determines their success. If the goal of the call is to gather data, share product information, start a conversation, or make an appointment, the odds are that the outcomes will be less than successful: sellers claim over 90% failure on their attempts.

Andrew Nguyen/HBR STAFF. Ask anyone who travels for work: It’s not as glamorous as it looks. Yes, sometimes you get to explore new places, meet interesting people, and rack up frequent flyer miles for future vacations. But you’re also yanked out of your regular, comfortable routine, spend too much time standing in airport security lines, and you’re miles away from people who know you well.

In the early 2000s, Brazil became the darling of corporate investment. It boasted rapid economic growth, abundant natural resources, and a large (and increasingly wealthy) market of 200 million consumers. The government’s pro-growth policies and abundant spending only increased corporate interest and multinational expansion plans. By 2007, Brazil had reclaimed its position as the number-one destination of foreign investment in the region from Mexico, according to CEPAL , one of the five re

It’s harder to stay on top than to get there. For every Apple, there is an Atari, for every Fuji a Polaroid, and for every Zara an American Apparel. How can you avoid the seemingly inevitable and remain a profitably growing “evergreen corporation” that stays on top? In today’s dynamic business environment, leaders of large established companies need more than ever to run and reinvent the business at the same time.

HBR STAFF. You’re sitting at a Very Important presentation related to a Very Important decision. The presenter is trying to convince senior management in your company to invest in a large, expensive project, say setting up a new robotic production line in one of your plants. Given that your company has always used more traditional manufacturing techniques and that you’ve just watched the latest Terminator movie, this seems like something of a departure, and you are naturally wary.

When my friend Anthony and I opened our first b. good restaurant in Boston nearly 12 years ago, we had 15 employees: people we’d interviewed and hired ourselves, who we worked alongside — grilling burgers, chopping vegetables, taking orders, and mopping the floors. We’d set out to build a community around the idea of “real fast food”—made by people, not factories—and the team felt like one big family, all working toward that goal.

Tech companies are competing for recruits and retention: same old, same old. What’s new is their strategy—something other than on-site massages, nap rooms, and haircuts. Google, Facebook, Netflix, and most recently, Amazon, are now bragging about their generous family leave policies. Who would’ve thunk it? Companies have heard the message: today’s top talent cares about work-life balance.
