Guest post by Paul Smith : It happens every time you join a new company, or even when you change roles at the company you work for now. You have to spend months winning the trust and respect you’d already earned with the last group of people you managed. Or do you? Consider the results of a July 1999 New York Times/CBS survey. It asked, “Of people in general, how many do you think are trustworthy?

Reflections for parents of young children. It seems like only yesterday our boys were living in the home at 9 Canterbury. The house was full. The house was loud. (What does “inside voices” even mean to an 8 year old boy?). Balls were constantly flying through the air. (A lamp or two may have lost its life during these days.). The floor was used as a wrestling ring.

The Deming Dimension by Henry Neave provides good historical background and then a well presented explanation of Deming’s ideas on management. It is one of the best books to read to learn about Deming’s ideas. The book includes a forward by W.

The world tends toward continuums. We order everything from temperature (cold to hot, with tepid in the middle) to wealth (poor to comfortable to rich). Continuity along a linear line, like the inexorable laws of hydrodynamics, helps to capture and comprehend the complexities of science and society, and offers the promise of progress and growth. It’s tempting to think leadership also follows a continuum, one anchored by bad and great, with good somewhere in between.

In numerous studies , diversity — both inherent (e.g., race, gender) and acquired (experience, cultural background) — is associated with business success. For example, a 2009 analysis of 506 companies found that firms with more racial or gender diversity had more sales revenue, more customers, and greater profits.

Powerful, inspirational leadership can only happen if employees develop an emotional attachment to the boss. The best executives know this. But how do you foster this kind of attachment in a big company where people are scattered all over the world? If you’re like most senior leaders, you try to bridge the distance via email, internal social-media postings, occasional in-person meetings, speeches, and videos.

Telecommuters might feel guilty or ungrateful admitting it, but let’s be honest: We often miss the office. Even the too-talkative, too-messy, or too-cutthroat colleagues you willed yourself to ignore when they sat near you can seem endearing when you’re toiling away to the ticktock of your kitchen clock. I’ve been telecommuting for almost 15 years.

It’s hard to say who dreads critical feedback more: the manager giving it or the person receiving it. As the receiver, it can be uncomfortable and stressful to hear that you’re not performing well. And the manager, knowing this, fears that the receiver may not react productively and therefore is likely to postpone sharing their views. But we all need and want feedback.

Consider this figure: $136 billion per year. That’s the research firm IDC’s estimate of the size of the big data market, worldwide, in 2016. This figure should surprise no one with an interest in big data. But here’s another number: $3.1 trillion , IBM’s estimate of the yearly cost of poor quality data, in the US alone, in 2016.
