Given that our state was in the path of totality for the August 2017 solar eclipse, people in our neighborhood gathered to watch. The closer we were to the time of totality, the larger the crowd became. Within five minutes of the awe-inspiring ninety seconds of darkness and coolness, the crowd had largely dispersed. The lost interest and crowd thinning-out triggered thoughts in my mind of how we tend to think about many things, including leadership, mostly in terms of their headline-making momen

I have a different take on value chain analysis. Most think of it as positioning a business within its ecosystem. I think of a value chain as a graphical representation of all of the work that must be done by a business or work area in order to provide its goods/services (i.e., “value”) to its customers. Value chains are a valuable means of presenting a normalized view of the business.

The manager slumps on his desk, frustrated and confused. In his mind, he has done everything right to manage his team to success. He carefully explained to them the task at hand and its deadline for completion, how it was supposed to get done (and by whom), and outlined the expected results. He monitored the resulting team activity and provided useful feedback.

Hope is important in life — and the workplace is a large part of most people’s lives. We spend more time with our coworkers each day than we do with our families.

Although leaders may get great personal satisfaction from leading a team that accomplishes greatness, it’s in giving to others that creates conditions for the work to be exceptional. That means that leaders who want to make a difference must put an effort into satisfying the needs of those who are on the ground doing the work. A couple of anecdotal contrasting illustrations might be in order: Henry talked a great game about being the person who thinks big and sets the vision for his team.

Guest post from Victor Prince : A few of summers ago, I hiked the ancient Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail across Spain. It was the best month of my life for many reasons. Along with a lot of other great things I got by walking almost 500 miles, it also taught me some valuable lessons in leadership. One lesson came as I stopped for lunch in a café in one quiet, small town and sat by a window while I ate a sandwich.

Problems like death, taxes, and change are guaranteed in life. No matter how you plan, you are going to encounter problems, and change will impact your plans. To assume that your best laid-out plan will work is being naïve. . When I plan, I always map multiple outcomes, this enables me to cover all the bases. Why is it relevant from a leadership perspective?

The following post is a preview excerpt from “ Up is Not the Only Way: Rethinking Career Mobility ” by Beverly Kaye, Lindy Williams, and Lynn Cowart, with permission from Berrett-Koehler Publishers (2017). Careers used to be predictable. There were paths and ladders. The hierarchy worked – for some. As downsizing, restructuring and delayering took hold in the late 1980’s, old ladders became largely inaccessible.

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.

Not the typical baggage you may think of. We didn’t talk of lost loves. Or the pain of regret. No… We discussed digital baggage. In today’s world, we’re carrying around Digital Baggage.

Guest post from Susan Scott: More and more companies recognize the importance of engaged, fully developed people as employees, and are working to build a “Whole Person Culture.” Health and wellness programs are a good start, but the way in which employees interact with their leaders and one another trumps perks and benefits. Transparency, candor, compassion, playfulness, ongoing face-to-face feedback, connection, mutual respect and genuine affection are newcomers to old-school organizations.

I have a quote on the cover of my Welcome Packet I send to all of my clients: “If you’re not continually reinventing yourself, your company, or your brand, it’s only a matter of time before you become obsolete, irrelevant, and end up in the bargain bin.”. It all comes down to two words: LISTEN & GROW. If you expose yourself to many new ideas, techniques, and practices, you might accelerate your business to unbelievable heights.

Decisions fascinate me. Occasionally they come easily. Sometimes they are difficult. Oftentimes they’re stressful. Some have huge implications. Most have a variety of influencing factors. Some decisions turn out perfectly. Some blow up entirely. Leaders are responsible for making important decisions that by nature aren’t easy. In fact, in a certain sense the essence of one’s leadership is the sum of the decisions he or she has made over time.

One of the greatest challenges for leaders is focusing on the invisible part of what we do. Even as we go about the business of getting things done every day, we are also doing something else. For better or worse, we are forming and shaping the people on our teams into into their future selves; we are leaving a leadership legacy. A short walk in an old-growth forest on the Oregon coast yielded a surprising discovery about this truth, and what it means to really have an inpact as a leader.
