One of my millennial friends, Vince, recently posted this on Facebook. “I may not be the best organist, and yes I play it like a piano. But I am determined to learn the Tocatta part of Tocatta and Fugue in D minor down for Saturday for a tour group I am playing for.” The rush of comments seemed to entirely miss the point. “you worry to much.” “you are a great pianist.” For a little extra inspiration while you read on click here: Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor.

Teddy Roosevelt, a man who certainly knew how to rally the troops. I know some people are petrified when they are handed a microphone, or step up to a podium, but I’m not one of those people – at least not now. I little over 20 years ago I figured out the key to making a good speech was what I called “ spontaneous preparedness ”. That is, making a speech “sound” spontaneous, but making sure there was much preparation, and a good structure, behind it.

I recently was face-to-face with my fears. My wife Karalee and I were in Santa Cruz for a conference with my long-time technology friends where we spent the weekend collaborating and discussing the future of technology and innovation. The conference ended Sunday afternoon, after which Karalee and I had a nice drive, followed by dinner. We turned in for the night, ready for an early morning start to return to Vancouver.

Far too many of us can also relate to working for managers who wielded their title and position authority as their only levers for leading. These managers caused me to question the likelihood of my contributing anything of value to the corporate mission.

Building an effective team is like putting together a complex puzzle. Your method for doing that might be putting all the pieces of one color together; others may choose to put the edges together to create a framework. Some puzzlers choose to start in a corner and build from there, and I am sure there are many other techniques that people swear by. It is the same for builders of teams.

There’s a critical point when too much money, time, or support actually hurts your mission.

In much of my work with leaders and organizations in various industries and disciplines, there’s a common issue that they seek help on addressing. Specifically, how do we keep employees invested in the long-term goals of our organization? For these leaders, the question is not so much how to improve employee engagement as it is how to sustain that enthusiasm and drive over the life span of a project or change initiative where it takes months or even years to achieve a successful outcome.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

When I participate in a webinar, I am especially excited when the host provides opportunities for me to truly interact with him or her and with the other participants. Whitney Johnson’s Disrupt Yourself webinar on October 7 provided precisely that type of opportunity, and has given me lots of food for thought. In discussing the S Curve of Personal Learning , Whitney explained its seven stages, from the frustration and unfamiliarity of being at the start of a learning curve through mastery.

Some people focus only on current realities and what’s needed to solve today’s problems. They are primarily concerned about their next steps, looking down at where to place their feet. They move from solving one problem to solving the next, eventually becoming bogged down and demoralized by all of the problems. Their feet get stuck in the mud. Some people focus only on a vision of the future they desire.
