I would like to tell you I developed the following thoughts while deep in study of man’s ethical imperatives and decision-making processes, while considering weighty and erudite reflections on how we co-exist, or even reviewing my notes for moral development in the vein of Lawrence Kohlberg. I’d like to do that, but the truth is I was browsing videos on Facebook ….

Guest post from Michael Lee Stallard: Company culture is a hot topic among today’s leaders, and rightfully so. Because it influences how colleagues relate, or fail to relate, to each other, culture affects the effectiveness of teams and business units, ultimately influencing the bottom line. But company culture can be an intimidating topic for many leaders because they lack a framework and language to discuss the phenomenon they see happening in their organizations every day.

The less energy you have the more negative you become. Energized leaders are better. Low energy leaders: Feel unappreciated. Want to quit. Blow up. Can’t create or try new things.

"A bird planted that." "Without even trying?" I looked at my arborist (person who is really smart with plants) friend, then back to the mini-tree in my front yard incredulously. You see, I am bad with plants. So, when I moved into a house with way too many bushes, I asked my friend to join me […].

I continue to learn. I hit 51 years of age this year and one thing that’s become apparent over the last couple years is how much more I still have to learn. And, yet, along the way, I have moved into a unique opportunity. It’s almost scary at times. People are looking to me for advice. They think I have something to share. Wow! Just when I realize I don’t really know anything, people think I know some things.

Handling conflict is one of the most difficult things a leader has to deal with. Unfortunately, conflict in the workplace is inevitable. In fact, research shows that 42 percent of a manager's time is spent addressing conflict. And, over 65 percent of performance problems are caused by employee conflicts. Managers new in their leadership role typically have had little to no training on how to deal with conflict.

Ron Moen and Clifford Norman wrote a very interesting article on the history of the PDSA cycle: Clearing up myths about the Deming cycle and seeing how it keeps evolving. It is not enough to determine that a change resulted in improvement during a particular test, according to Moen, Nolan and Provost. As you build your knowledge, you will need to be able to predict whether a change will result in improvement under the different conditions you will face in the future.

Kenneth Andersson. Are you raring to change careers? Break into a whole new line of work that makes you leap out of bed, happy to go to work every day?

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least." Goethe. We promise ourselves that next time we'll just work a little harder or do it a little better. We can't cut anything out because, "It's all important!" We'll just get up a little earlier or go to bed a little later. When we inevitably fail, we blame ourselves because we can't run faster than a speeding bullet, aren't more powerful than a locomotive, and don't leap tall buildings in a single bounce.

Almost every world-class, high-performance organization takes training and education seriously. But Navy SEALs go uncomfortably beyond. They’re obsessive and obsessed. They are arguably the best in the world at what they do. Their dedication to relentless training and intensive preparation, however, is utterly alien to the overwhelming majority of businesses and professional enterprises worldwide.

San Jose, California, is home to one of the most peculiar structures ever built: the Winchester Mystery House, a 160-room Victorian mansion that includes 40 bedrooms, two ballrooms, 47 fireplaces, gold and silver chandeliers, parquet floors, and other high-end appointments. It features a number of architectural details that serve no purpose: doorways that open onto walls, labyrinthine hallways that lead nowhere, and stairways that rise only to a ceiling.

Middle managers have not fared well. Their ranks have been decimated in many organizations, and those that have survived are often perceived as powerless or, worse, as bureaucratic sticks-in-the-mud. This is not fair and it’s flat-out wrong. Take what’s happening with Zappos at the moment. Much has been written about their adoption of a self-management system— holacracy —with no job titles and zero managers.

There is a sea change going on in African leadership. Over the past decade, six of the fastest growing economies in the world have been African. Since 2000, for example, Rwanda has racked up average annual GDP growth in excess of 8%—exceeding 12% during some quarters of the Great Recession. If this continues, Rwanda will become a middle-income country by 2020.

Technologies like 3-D printing, robotics, advanced motion controls, and new methods for continuous manufacturing hold great potential for improving how companies design and build products to better serve customers.

What is the greatest impediment preventing Americans from getting good health care? Surprisingly, it’s not the cost of care. Instead, according to new research from the Center for Talent Innovation (CTI), the fundamental issue is the health care industry’s failure to develop a nuanced understanding of, and commitment to, women as consumers and decision makers.
