ValuesJam in 2003 gave IBM's workforce the opportunity to redefine the firm's core values for the first time in nearly 100 years.

Companies that operate as a collection of silos commit the cardinal sin of underperforming relative to the resources they have invested.

When a blizzard hit Baltimore in 2003, the roundhouse roof of the B&O Railroad Museum collapsed, damaging the finest collection of historic railway artifacts in the country and breaking hearts in the global community of rail fans. Their emotional response was reassuring to me because it showed they were ready to respond.”

The executive team should not commit to specific moves, as factors outside of their control might require a change of plan. For example, Umicore’s 2003 acquisition of PMG increased its revenues by 50%.

It's been obvious since 2003, when LinkedIn was launched, that social networking could help job candidates and employers interact. An especially instructive example involves Greg Meyer, who has helped run customer-service operations for nearly a dozen companies. People may go online to banter.

Leaders who consistently make bad decisions, dither, or fail to quickly secure needed resources or follow through on commitments are not apt to create Self-Starters. Brown-Nosers constantly check in with their leaders and operate by seeking permission, rather than forgiveness.

I think those sorts of informal ways of understanding servant-leadership can help a lot within organizations and then after you reach a certain level of commitment and understanding, there are consultants and trainers who have been working with servant leadership for many years. Ben : I love it. So that sometimes gets overlooked.

That’s important, not because I think MBAs should be more like SEALS—I don’t—but because real-world excellence requires more than commitment to educational achievement. A member of Seal Team 3, Webb became the Naval Special Warfare Command Sniper Course Manager in 2003. That scares me. They are self-motivators.

It’s common for leaders of sales teams to focus almost exclusively on short-term tactics and current operations while failing to think and act in a way that supports the longer-term needs of their businesses — and it’s hard to fault them.

Organizations have a strong sense of their own value and an unswerving commitment to high quality care but little appreciation of others’ worth in their local, regional, or national systems. The answer is the organizations in which they work and the pressures, incentives, and regulations under which they operate.
