Mark Twain once said, “the only person who likes change is a wet baby.” The same is true of most organizations. It may not be a wet diaper, but change isn’t usually welcome until there’s a crisis or problem at hand. After all, organizations take on the characteristics of the people who serve there. Leading change is challenging for a host of reasons.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Disequilibrium is the sense of imbalance we feel as we deal with increasing complexity and change. This post, the first in a series, starts by exploring why leaders need to embrace it. Avoiding Disequilibrium Is Harmful Disequilibrium is not harmful to our leadership, unless we try to avoid it. That can cause us to retrench when change demands that we adapt.

Becoming A Healthy Leader We all know a leader should be healthy. But what does a healthy leader look like? That’s a million dollar question. And a question that deserves an answer. If you ask 10 people what a healthy leader looks like, you’ll probably get 10 answers. My opinion varies from other people I know but I believe it’s a good place to start.

Recently, there has been a trend among top-performing companies to reinvent their performance management systems. Organizations are discarding the traditional practice of evaluation through a system of training, promotion, and reward to a nimble system that works in the present moment (Buckingham & Goodall, 2015). These new systems focus on assessing future performance or potential rather than a focus on the past.

Top-performing companies understand just how critical the workplace culture is to their success, so they’re intentional and systematic about how they create, drive, and describe their cultures. They know that culture is the “enabler”—or the “hobbler”—for new strategic plans and directions. The companies with the highest-performing teams and most robust bottom lines make accountability the centerpiece of their culture.

The following question is an actual question I once received from a blog reader, but it’s representative of one I frequently receive: Could you share or possibly write a post about your relationship with your wife and how you incorporate or make her feel a part of your ministry and relationships? Great question. I think it is one everyone in ministry should be asking.

PM Images/Getty Images. Here’s the dilemma: In a competitive, complex, and volatile business environment, companies need more from their employees than ever. But the same forces rocking businesses are also overwhelming employees, driving up their fear, and compromising their capacity. It’s no wonder that so many C-Suite leaders are focused on how to build higher performance cultures.

Tim Ellis/Getty Images. When it comes to networks, the bigger the better, right? Not necessarily. Carefully curate your most trusted, inner circle and you’ll be surprised at how much more valuable you’ll become to the larger community of people in the world who care about the same things you do. We live in a time when “bigger is better” is the prevailing assumption when it comes to, well, just about anything.

jennifer maravillas for hbr. Over the last decade, new ventures across industries have framed their businesses in terms of social impact.

This could be because female founders are more likely to care about social issues than men. But we also wondered if something else might be going on: perhaps the women who started social enterprises were more likely to get funding than women

Rob Atkins/Getty Images. My first job out of college did little to prepare me for my future career, but it did teach me something about power — and that all companies should adopt a black-and-white policy when it comes to sexual contact between supervisors and their employees. At 22, I was lonely, living in a new city, and handling the transition from college to the real world in a reluctant fashion.

Studies have suggested that, by 2020, 50% of all searches will be conducted by voice and smart speakers are expected to reach 55% of U.S. households by 2022. It is no different for physicians.

Victor Cardoner/Getty Images. Companies used to avoid political issues at almost any cost. But those still relying on a strategy of abstention and neutrality are quickly learning that it no longer works the way it once did. Sometimes it leads to more harm than good. Consider Delta Airlines. After a horrifying school shooting in Parkland, Florida put companies’ relationships with the National Rifle Association (NRA) under a microscope, Delta joined more than half a dozen major companies by
