At your core there exists a unique set of abilities. We refer to them as strengths. These are not difficult to discover. There are many “strength finder” type assessments that are more than capable of pointing these abilities out. What usually go unnoticed are the multiple enablers that surround our lives and enhance our abilities. They make our abilities come alive.

You may have read my 3 part-series on Culture By Design. The final installment was published just last week. The response was so overwhelming that I thought it may be worth offering one more piece on the subject of corporate culture. With that, let’s explore what happens to an organization that fails at its cultural transformation work because it chose not to craft its Culture by Design.

This past weekend marked the celebration of Thanksgiving Day here in Canada, our last holiday long-weekend before the inevitable cold blast of winter arrives to blanket our country in snow and ice. While Thanksgiving in Canada differs from that in the United States in being a celebration of the end of the harvest period, what these two holidays share in common is that it’s a holiday for spending time with family, and expressing gratitude for the good fortune we’ve experienced this ye

Ours is a society that reveres winners. We love winning. And while our quest for victory is laudable, we too often overlook those who compete nobly and yet fail to win the ultimate prize. Sadly we label them as “losers.”. Essential to a leader’s development is managing adversity. It’s one thing to lead when everything is going your way; it is another thing to lead when the odds are against you.

I’d started taking classical Russian ballet lessons in my 30’s. There were no plans to be a prima ballerina and no plans to perform. I just wanted to work hard and challenge myself to get some exercise and get as good as I could at this form of dance. If I was going to spend some time learning ballet, I figured I might as well work hard at it. One thing that worked well for me was to take a class with people who’d been taking lessons for a while.

When our mind is like a mountain, it is nothing but a heap of fixed beliefs and knowledge that does not evolve. To have a mind like a valley, we need to pursue things with a sense of wonder, knowing that we don’t know and having a receptive frame of mind ready to absorb. An open mind enables critical thinking, diverse experiences, experimentation and iterative learning by connecting the dots.

Great leaders expect greatness from themselves and in turn they challenge others to be great too. They challenge people to do better, be better and to meet a higher standard. They do it because settling for substandard, low quality, second rate leadership is not an option. Great leaders set high standards for their own performance, and for those around them.

Faced with the claim that AI and robots are poised to replace most of today’s workforce, most mainstream professionals — doctors, lawyers, accountants, and so on — believe they will emerge largely unscathed. During our consulting work and at conferences, we regularly hear practitioners concede that routine work can be taken on by machines, but they maintain that human experts will always be needed for the tricky stuff that calls for judgment, creativity, and empathy.

We all know the basics of good presentation skills: don’t read from a script ; don’t overwhelm your audience with verbose slides; and the like. But for a particular kind of high-stakes presentation — one in which you’re trying to get buy-in from key decision-makers — those basics aren’t enough. To persuade the people who have the power to approve your idea or let it die, you need to start with a strong outline.

Companies spend a lot of time and money building strong brands to win over customers—but they often fall short when it comes to strengthening their employer reputation to win talent. “ Employer branding ” is no longer simply a concern for recruitment marketing; it is also a key component of effective organizational leadership.
