Here's all there is to it. Sorry if the title is crude. No implication about anyone here. But leadership development may not be as difficult as we often make it out to be. So why not share the oversimplified version? The dummy version. One of the number one questions I get about leadership is how to develop new leaders within an organization. The task can often seem overwhelming.

I still remember the first performance review I ever got, even though it’s been almost 50 years since Ray Moeller, my first boss at GE, called me into his office and handed me a document that he called a “performance appraisal.” I read it.

Does this sound familiar? You are marketing a new option, say with 20% more product or 50% more minutes on a calling plan, but you can’t get customers to pay for even a fraction of the additional value. Some don’t even notice it. However, the moment you shave just a few percentages off the regular quantity, the same customers notice it immediately, demand a discount, and complain loudly on social media or even start a petition to bring back the old size.

Having more information doesn’t always make it easier to decide. Consider what’s happened with travel: With the explosion of internet travel sites in the 2000s, consumers took charge of their own travel, and travel agencies hemorrhaged business.

Blockchain, the distributed ledger technology underlying bitcoin, may prove to be far more valuable than the currency it supports. But it’s only as valuable as it is secure. As we begin to put distributed ledger technology into practice, it’s important to make sure that the initial conditions we’re setting up aren’t setting us up for security issues later on.
