So, any change effort will be more successful when you focus on both performance and health. Considering that most change efforts only succeed 30% of the time, Scott Keller and Bill Schaninger (both McKinsey partners) put forth a change model to increase the odds of success (upwards of 79% of the time) in Beyond Performance 2.0.

Creating categories and subcategories of ethics may 'carve out new territory' or help us understand ethics at a deeper level, but it also puts more perceived distance between leaders and ethical choices.

A few months ago I wrote here that preparation is the new leadership differentiator. That conclusion is based on close observation of my executive coaching clients and their colleagues.

Businesses have a tough job on their hands when it comes to marketing and connecting with their desired audience. Research has discovered that a consumer’s brain can only process a certain amount of information before they lose concentration.
