While there is a need for thinking literally when learning the basics of a discipline, once we have the rules down, we can (and should) innovate to our hearts content. Then, creativity is based on substance. And while occupations such as music and art are often held up as the examples of creativity, management needs creativity and innovation in order to avoid becoming stale and stolid.

If you’re doing business today, then you know—local is dead and global is the new norm. And with that, study upon study has come out stating that the number one agenda item for today’s corporate leaders is finding talent that can think and lead globally. Without the ability to successfully manage a business across borders, you and your organization are destined to fall behind.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Each day brings new challenges for leaders. They struggle to deal with uncertainty and complexity and sometimes the most ethical choices are not obvious. In this kind of environment, we can't assume that things are going well even when there are no lawsuits or imminent ethical crises. What we need to do is build an ethical workplace that will discourage ethical problems.

In August of every year I see the posts and get the emails. Parents are dropping off their kids at college – and, it’s hard. I know it is hard. Our first son went to college in the city where we lived, so we got a somewhat break from this one – although even them moving in a dorm room across town is hard. I think it’s the empty bed, which causes such a problem – you know, the one in the room you used to fuss about never being clean?

Millennials don’t have a reputation as a hard-working generation. The caricature of the Millennial worker is more or less a cartoon of an entitled recipient of hundreds of plastic participation trophies who cares less about paying his dues at work and more about perks like flex-time, beer carts, and nap rooms. Or perhaps I should say that “we” have that reputation, since I’m technically a Millennial — most demographers put the start-date for this generation at 1981.

[Note to my readers: I first wrote and published this post four years ago in our last US presidential election cycle. Just out of curiosity, I flipped back into my blog archives to see if what I’d written then would still apply. Well, what do you know? Seems to me that, given this particularly unusual and contentious election contest, it’s even more relevant today.

Part of the draw of self-managing organizations, like those we explore in our recent HBR article , is their promise to free us from the disease of micromanagement. But they’re not the only cure. Before we get to what works, let’s consider what micromanaging really is and what puts you at risk of doing it. It’s not just a personality or leadership trait that can be blamed on genetic makeup or bad training, as some arguments say.

Despite having the two highest unfavorable ratings of any major presidential candidates in history, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have outlasted their competitors—and one of them is going to become the leader of the free world. What does success in the face of such highly unfavorable ratings teach us about personal branding? And what can working professionals at every level learn from it?

In 2013 Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, urged the U.S. Congress to adopt the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) to ban sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination in the workplace. He argued that it would not only protect the rights of a diverse workforce but also foster innovation: “Embracing people’s individuality is a matter of basic human dignity and civil rights.

In 1985 Peter Drucker argued for a shift toward an entrepreneurial society, one where “executives in all institutions…make innovation and entrepreneurship a normal, ongoing everyday activity.” This intentionally broad view requires a fundamental change in mindset. Drucker was pushing us to think and act less like employees taking orders and more like free agents, alert and responsive to opportunities whether we work in a startup or in a large corporation.

There is something marketing managers seem to forget about the internet: it was made for people, not for companies and brands. As such, it offers managers a source of insight they never had — social listening. Eavesdropping on consumers’ social-media chatter allows marketers to economically and regularly peer inside people’s lives as they are being lived, without introducing biases through direct interaction.
