Photo credit: 123rf. We went to see the new movie Christopher Robin last weekend. We grew up with Winnie the Pooh books and we carried on that tradition with our own children so have a soft spot for the stories and characters. As an adult, I’ve rediscovered the wisdom of the Hundred Acre Wood and the characters who inhabit it. A quote that often repeated in the movie by Pooh is “Doing nothing often leads to the very best something”.

Guest Post from Glenna Crooks, PhD: If you are a leader today you face a faster pace of change and far greater complexity than at any time in human history. As if the technical challenges, required skillsets and necessary mindsets were not enough to master, there’s more. It is likely your organization is multigenerational, multiracial, multilingual, ethnically-diverse and gender-fluid.

In my company, I allow my employees to choose their own job title. I of course, did the same.

Studies show that about half of all new leaders either fail or give up on pursuing a leadership path. New leaders always have a lot to learn, and mistakes—sometimes lots of them—are part of the process. But some mistakes are more costly than others. If you can avoid the worst of them, you can build your credibility and deliver the results that will steer you toward success.

Most times, employers try to avoid extra business cost by totally avoiding employee development and education activities. But in the long run, that helps the employers to be on the losing side.

In my talks with pastors and ministry leaders, I have heard some repeated themes. One common theme is they have a story of a failed leadership experience. It may have happened in their first church. There was one church experience, perhaps with a program or a person,which turned from bad to worst. Or, many times it is in their current ministry and the reason for our conversation, which kept them from leading well.

It starts with a “vision” statement, moves on to “strategic themes” (six in all) and culminates in 28 “strategic goals.” The latter is a list of actions interspersed with a sprinkling o

David Leahy/Getty Images. Doctors are sometimes blamed for the ills of the U.S. health care system, but our five-year research project in India and the U.S. revealed the opposite. Almost every high-performing health care organization we studied was led by a medical professional (something that academic research has also found ). What we found, while collecting case studies for our book Reverse Innovation in Health Care , is that these doctors are not just medical experts; they also have other qu

Juj Winn/Getty Images. Last year I decided it was time to shake things up at our investment management company. After 12 years as president and then CEO, I thought it was time to shift some of my responsibilities to my partners. Research suggests that organizations and their boards are poorly prepared for CEO transitions. The most common transgression is procrastination, in failing to charge the next generation of managers with more responsibility.
