Let's Grow Leaders
OCTOBER 14, 2015
When I was in grad school, there were clearly two camps (and they didn’t respect each other all that much): The scientests out to prove their hypotheses through experimentation, control groups, and statistical analysis, and the qualitative researchers who showed up, listened, and let the theories emerge. Being in business, and studying at night, I was initially drawn to the power of proof.

At a recent mass, I was listening to the homily that talked about Jesus taking his twelve disciples to a place to spend time with them. When Jesus asked them who had any questions, no one asked because they didn’t want to be looked at as inadequate, as each one of them thought that he should be number one in Jesus’s eye. As I reflected on this statement, it dawned on me that it is akin to management offsite meetings, where the head of the organization will take their senior leaders to strategize

T here’s many roles a leader must play. These roles can be dizzying. Leaders must support their team. Leaders must bring unity to the organization. Leaders must cast a clear vision.

Stuck people think they’ve tried everything. When they hear a suggestion, they explain why it won’t work. When you’re stuck, an imagined “perfect” solution is justification to reject viable imperfect options.

According to LinkedIn, my network consists of roughly 120 million people. In fact, other than six elderly denizens of a village in Uzbekistan, it appears I’m indirectly connected to every person on the planet. Setting aside the absurdity of Xth-degree connections, LinkedIn has become the most valuable social network for business building. But they’re doing their best to reduce their own value and chase away customers.

A leader’s most effective tool — Prayer. Here are 10 good prayers of an effective leader: Dear Lord, grow my love for you so I will trust in You when I can’t see the path ahead clearly.

Buyers want to solve a problem in a way that causes the least disruption, and the last thing they want to do is bring something new into their environment. But until the stakeholders (decision makers, influencers, appropriate managers) agree that making a purchase is the only way to get where they want to end up, and all of the people that will touch the new solution buy-in to altering the status quo (their policies, relationships, rules, past decisions, job descriptions, etc), they will not m

If you've followed my blog, you know I've posted frequently about how habits are formed, and how to break a bad habit. If not, check this. But here's something you may not have considered: you are forming habits, unconsciously, all the time. It's what your brain does. Habit formation is one of the ways intelligent life forms "get smart." Imagine what a bummer it would be to wake up each morning and have to relearn all your skills and routines all over again - how to tie your shoes, how to brush

“Whoa! What are you doing?” I asked aghast. I had just walked into my daughter’s room as she was working on a science project. Normally, I would have been pleased at such a sight. But this time, her project involved sand. A lot of it. And, while she had put some plastic underneath her work area, it wasn’t nearly enough. The sand was spreading all over our newly renovated floors.

jennifer maravillas FOR HBR. “I wish honestly that I could rewind time and go back and put that women’s equality issue into the culture from the beginning,” says Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. Benioff’s business is growing hyper fast, and he knows he needs both halves of the population to fuel that growth. But Benioff, and anyone else who has tried to gender balance large organizations, also knows that one of the key obstacles to change is the culture created by the group c

To succeed, Riders for Health needed to partner closely with community health workers. Photo courtesy of Riders for Health. Who drives transformation in our society and how do they do it? Roger Martin and Sally Osberg argue in their new book, Getting Beyond Better , that the answer is social entrepreneurs, who target unjust and unsustainable systems — or “equilibria” — and transform them into entirely new, superior, and sustainable equilibria.

What cost has risen the most dramatically for U.S. businesses in the last 25 years? It’s not the cost of health care or taxes, or even executive compensation. It’s advertising, more precisely the cost of commanding consumer attention, which by my calculation has seen a staggering seven- to nine-fold increase in real terms since 1990. When demand outpaces supply, prices rise.

hbr staff. The health care industry is now focusing on value-based care — improving the health of populations while reducing costs. As providers aim to compete in this new business context, they are partnering with firms whose data and services can increase care coordination and prevent disease. At CVS Health, we believe that community retail pharmacies play a critical role in that effort — a view confirmed by our experience in over 60 health-system partnerships across th

Anyone who has been told “the check is in the mail” or “time is money” knows that faster is better when it comes to getting paid. And yet although the United States pioneered the instant economy, in which a single click can deliver just about anything to your doorstep within hours (if not sooner), it can routinely take days for money to be transferred between two parties in America.
