How Today’s Leaders Manage Culture Change. The scene was the 2016 ZurichFest, a three-day street fair that envelops the Swiss city every three years. Among the gazillion food tents, cavalcade of exciting rides, air shows, high wire aerialists over the LImmat River through the middle of the city, magicians and high divers was an amazing juggler. Not the usual balls or bowling pens, he was juggling sharp machetes and lighted torches.

I made a mistake. It felt like a big one. The Background. My oldest daughter, Avi, lost her fifth tooth recently. Daily, we had been checking on the wiggliness of the tooth and wondering together what day would be the one where it pops out. Sure enough, a carrot did the trick and out it came during a camp lunch.

Wouldn’t life be easier if the world revolved around what you’re already good at? Sleeping, for instance, or eating, or laughing at videos of giggling babies. Fortunately, as a consultant, your work world does revolve around a skill you’ve already mastered. Better yet, when you apply that skill to business development you’ll drum up plenty of new clients.

Did you know that organizations lose $109 million for every $1 billion invested in projects and programs? It’s a staggering number to consider, and even more shocking, it’s due in part to the fact that over the last year, less than a third of all projects were successfully completed on time and on budget. Ask any project manager, and you’ll hear that one of the top problems that they face is a high tolerance for failure.

Like it or not, as a leader you have a significant impact on the energy around you at work. You’re either generating passion, enthusiasm and drive in people, or you’re sucking it out of them. Your ideal, therefore, is to display positive energy in everything you do. I know it’s a tall order; but, ultimately, the success of your company will depend on whether you can share this energy with others and foster consistent enthusiasm among your peers.

Part of my ministry involves working with other churches. Sometimes when I hear from a church they have been plateaued or in a season of decline for several years. They are often looking for answers of how they can turnaround. I love helping churches, but there truly are no standard answers. It’s unique for every church and every situation. I do know, however, if a local church never adds new people – eventually it will cease to exist.

When Amazon decided to enter the Indian e-commerce market, it was clear from the outset that something would have to give. That something was the very business model that had made Amazon an internet powerhouse in the U.S. Amazon.com debuted as an online bookstore in 1994. Founder Jeff Bezos’s initial business model was fairly simple: Source a single product type from wholesalers and publishers and sell it directly to consumers on the then fledgling internet.

Most sales models include a conversion funnel in which reps try to convert a marketing-generated lead into a prospect and then a customer through sequential steps. In this model, sales people are expected to make the process as friction-less as possible for the potential buyer and to close the deal at the end by using certain phrases and techniques to “overcome objections.” This perspective is promoted in books and seminars, but research indicates it is not how people buy.

Juan Díaz-Faes for HBR. Our technologies are far from pristine constructions. Frankly, they’re a mess. Our software evolves over years, or even decades, with bits and pieces being added over time. The IRS uses technologies from the 1960s , and the Space Shuttle used computer chips that were decades old. The code in our automobiles is fantastically baroque, and in many cases may be too complex to understand.

Over the course of my career, I’ve spent countless hours talking to and hearing from leaders around the world.

HBR STAFF. It’s great that JPMorgan Chase will raise starting wages of its tellers and low-wage employees. But why isn’t the commercial and investment bank telling its corporate clients to do the same? In his recent New York Times op-ed , CEO Jamie Dimon said the wage hike would reduce income inequality and make good business sense, too: While businesses, including ours, are understandably cautious when it comes to expenses, there are good expenses (investments that will pay off in t
