Like spring, conflict is in the air. Contentious times are everywhere. On the media. In the workplace. In the streets. At the dinner table. Many people share they’re struggling to stay calm and collected in dealing with the disagreements, friction, and discord that’s swirling around them. Me, too. I’ve discovered I didn’t know people I thought I knew.

We’ve got a big snowstorm here in Oxford, Connecticut. Thankfully, I work from my home office on Fridays — so I really don’t have to go anywhere — I just meander down to my first-floor home office and talk to my clients. We only get better when we play tennis with better tennis players. One way is to immerse ourselves into their lives, their learnings, and their tricks of the trade.

There’s an interesting verse in the Bible. Proverbs 27:17 tells us that As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. I’ve often pondered over the meaning of this verse. What does iron sharpening iron mean? Does iron sharpen iron simply by being in the presence of other iron? No, not at all. Iron can’t sharpen iron by being next to each other.

ReImagine Work

There are so many ways we get in our own way. You might know a team member who regularly pipes up with, “We tried that 5 years ago and it didn’t work.” Maybe you have your own go-to excuse, like, “That’s the way we’ve always done it.”. Of course, it never seems like an excuse at the time. One of my favorites is, “That’s above my pay grade.” To me it’s only another version of “It’s not my job.”.

SET UP YOUR WUP. Choose a notebook or tablet—paper or electronic—to use as your first Wake-Up Pad and write these headings as a reminder of how to use it: Scan & Eavesdrop. Skim the bestseller lists, magazine racks, television listings, RSS and Twitter feeds, social media posts, and headlines of newspapers from around the country and the world. Scope out the room that you’re sitting in and the crowd that you’re walking with.

There are a million and one brilliant ways to market your business online, and hopefully you’re already implementing these ideas into your marketing strategy. But your business is about more than just its online presence: there are people behind your digital space: you’re real people, doing real things, and there’s no reason to stay hidden in the shadows.

We’ve all experienced the disappointment of an important decision not going our way. The feeling is far worse when you feel that the decision was somehow “rigged” against you — that you never had a chance, that your input wasn’t given its fair due, or that only some of the data was considered. You can accept a fair decision that goes the other way, but a rigged decision feels much worse.

Sales executives with even moderately large, distributed sales forces rely on data to help them understand which activities and behaviors lead to the best outcomes. Yet much of the data from sources such as CRM reporting tools and time studies is self-reported, and thus inherently flawed. That leaves executives in the dark about what is actually occurring on the front lines, or whether those activities advance or impede progress toward desired outcomes.

As companies expand globally, executives are increasingly being tapped for expatriate assignments. The idea is to spread talent, expertise, and knowledge from headquarters to foreign offices, and vice versa. But these are costly moves — $311,000 per year, according to a report by PwC and the Cranfield School of Management — and many fail to generate a return on investment.

Organizations are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on employee engagement programs, yet their scores on engagement surveys remain abysmally low. How is that possible? Because most initiatives amount to an adrenaline shot. A perk is introduced to boost scores, but over time the effect wears off and scores go back down. Another perk is introduced, and scores go back up — and then they fall again.

We’ve all been through it — the looming cost project. And for many of us, it’s not a fond memory. How many cost-cutting initiatives have our companies gone through in the last dozen years? More important, do we look back on those initiatives as transformative in helping us build success and leading us to growth? For executives at most large organizations, the answer to the first question is probably “too many,” and the answer to the second is “no.” Call
