Or, can you? The headline is arguably the most memorable line in the 1992 movie, A Few Good Men. The line by Jack Nicholson’s character echoes what we’ve found is a common blind spot among today’s leaders: An openness to hearing the truth. It’s clear that truth telling is not a core competency for today’s organizations, based on our research and studies like the Edelman Trust Barometer.

In this month’s post, I consider the impact of change on your organisation’s brand. Are you hidebound by your organisation’s name? In any economy — local, regional, or national — your brand is everything. It is your reputation 24/7, 365, and it never switches off. However, does your brand work for you, or against you? Should it change as your company evolves?

Photo credit: 123RF. I teach leaders how to coach people in a highly experiential workshop where they get plenty of practice coaching each other before they leave the session. It’s always felt right to teach these skills this way because the participants walk out with some confidence that they can do something that doesn’t always come easy. This skill set is difficult to learn and sustain for many leaders, as it is counter-intuitive to what they often think coaching is.

You’ve probably heard the expression, “Good is the enemy of great.” Yes, that saying arose to justify eliminating “chocolates” made with carob. (I’m pretty sure.) We’ve talked about this notion before, but in this article we’ll explore another aspect of building a more effective consulting firm by eliminating what you’re good at.

How widespread is your business’s brand awareness? Is the general public familiar with your products and services? In particular, does your audience purchase or use these services? In order to ensure that your company ventures are successful, you must spread the message about them to your customers. Having a strong online presence is the first order of business.

It’s understandable that a lot of people complain about their commutes to and from work, appointments, or client meetings. I don’t. It’s not that I like being cut off in traffic or sitting at stoplights; it’s just that I have learned to see the time I spend driving as an opportunity. A recent AAA survey says the average American adult drives 17,600 minutes—that’s almost 300 hours—every year.

You must dress like a boss to be treated like one. And for everyone moving to a management position from being a team member, dressing like a boss is a major step in climbing the ladder. It guarantees the odds necessary to bypass all levels of scrutiny from executive members and outlines visual evidence in distinguishing you from your former peers.

It would be difficult to conclude Paul was not an effective leader. He was the arguably the most successful church planter of all times. He managed to plant churches and write books we are still using today. There is an interesting story in Acts 19 of a time of crisis. The sub-heading in my Bible calls it “The Riot in Ephesus.” Have you ever witnessed a riot?

joshlaverty/Getty Images. When we think about productivity at work, we often think about how to motivate ourselves — or the people on our team. But sometimes the people who are struggling to stay focused and engaged are our peers. And while it may not be an official part of your job description, helping a colleague is the kind thing to do and can be beneficial to your own productivity.

Diversity and inclusion are key factors attracting and engaging the kind of workforce that will build your company’s future. But research shows there can be a disconnect between what companies say they do and how people really experience inclusion in the workplace.

William Andrew/Getty Images. When companies expand into foreign markets, they need to gain the trust of local business partners and prospective customers in order to succeed. The most common ways of doing this are to send executives to build personal relationships with international business partners and to hire local distribution partners — or independent, third-party intermediaries — to represent their products or services overseas.

Mike Ovitz, a cofounder of Creative Artists Agency and former president of The Walt Disney Company, says there are many parallels between the movie and music industry of the 1970s and 1980s and Silicon Valley today. When it comes to managing creatives, he says you have to have patience and believe in the work. But to get that work made, you have to have shrewd negotiating skills.

Adam Pretty /Getty Images. It can be challenging to synchronize complex tasks across multiple functions. Rather than cooperating, too many functions end up competing for power, influence, and limited resources. And such rivalry is more than a nuisance: It’s costly. One study reports that 85% of workers experience some regular form of conflict, with U.S. workers averaging 2.8 hours per week.

DanielSambraus/EyeEm/Getty Images. Most professionals use email every day for business — in fact, it’d be hard not to, with 281 billion messages sent and received on a daily basis. But when it comes to marketing, much of the attention gets focused on social media, which — while popular and highly visible — has a conversion rate less than half that of email marketing (4.29% vs. 1.81%), according to a recent analysis.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images. It is hard to overstate the sheer economic cost of the 2008 financial crisis. The combination of increased expenditures and decreased revenues resulting from the crisis from 2008 to 2010 is likely to cost the United States government well over $2 trillion , more than twice the cost of the 17-year-long war in Afghanistan. Broader measures are even more damning.
