Not so fast , I say. Don’t overlook the opportunity to discover meaning from a year that no one anticipated, and not many want to repeat. Here are three steps to find meaning as you approach the end of 2020.

Decisions! We all make them every day. And while we do make them frequently, often we wonder if we made the right one or search for new ways to decide.

A new Xfinity holiday commercial I saw recently resonated in many ways. Entitled, “The Greatest Gift,” it’s a funny but true reflection of the crazy and trying year so many of us have experienced in 2020. Santa – “the boss”– declares over video conference with his team of elves that the old ways of doing things need to dramatically change. Santa then shares that he’s personally “out of ideas” and demands that the team “rethink our whole approach” – and in short order.

New research from Trinity Business School suggests that countries where individualism is more widespread are more likely to embrace the concept of crowdfunding than their more collectivist peers. The research found that the institutional characteristics of a country have a significant impact upon the likelihood of that society being able to success

Keep it simple, stupid. The KISS principle, as it is widely known, is so ingrained in our vernacular that, regardless of your lot in life, you have likely heard it.

If the month-end close is like game day for the finance and accounting department, closing out the fiscal year is the World Series. There’s so much to do in a limited time and, in most companies, this is done with a smaller team than you’d like. There’s a lot of pressure and that can lead to a lot of stress. A successful close isn’t just about managing the process but about managing your team and your time to make the best use of resources.

An audience member recently asked me, “What is the biggest change you’ve seen in leadership in the past 30 years?”.

When was the last time you heard someone say, “I’m a follower” or “I follow my leader”?

An oft-repeated but true idiom is, “employees do not leave a bad company but a bad manager.” A working nightmare is a bad manager or an insecure boss. Do they go hand-in-hand? The answer is yes. An insecure manager may not be nasty, but is a bad manager. And a bad manager can be nasty, mean, and often is insecure. A manager who is not confident can demotivate and s/he can foster paranoia, lack of trust, and eventually eat away at the harmony of any team.

Chances are, if you’ve served on very many teams, you’ve served on one which is dysfunctional. It appears to me we have many to choose from in the organizational world. There are no perfect teams.
