It was late. It was just Joanne, the HR Director; Juan dusting the doors; and I left in the building. The only sounds were the swishing of the sprinklers hitting against the high glass windows. Joanne looked up at me from behind her desk with that exhausted, weary grin that comes from realizing that the work ahead is more complicated than you thought. “There’s a reason you told me that story last week about that CEO you’re working with, isn’t there?

It’s fashionable in the media and politics today to be quick to speak, to dominate conversations and be self-righteous. We see this frequently in movies and television shows too. These attributes are thought to be signs of intelligence, assertiveness and conviction. Although they may be effective at gaining television ratings and press attention, they are counterproductive when it comes to communicating, connecting with others and leading effectively.

All of my strategy, culture and organizational design work over the years comes down to one thing – enabling my clients to differentiate themselves from their competitors so to dominate the markets that they serve.

“A good starting point for embedding reflection into daily workflow is to approach the practice at two levels; individual reflection, and then reflection with colleagues and team members. Reflective practice itself doesn’t ‘just happen’. It is a learned process. It requires some degree of self-awareness and the ability to critically evaluate experiences, actions and results.”. – The Power of Reflection in an Ever-Changing World , Charles Jennings.

Increasingly, large organizations are finding their competitive landscape changing so quickly that they’re unable to respond fast enough to survive and thrive. Most mature organizations have a built-in tendency to kill off anything agile, innovative, and entrepreneurial — which often is exactly what’s needed to stay ahead of today’s ever-increasing pace of change in the […] Increasingly, large organizations are finding their competitive landscape changing so quickly that they’re unable to

I wrote this post for another publication in 2014, but it appears they have deleted it. I’m preparing to do a workshop on how to nurture high potentials and found it in my archives. Still looks relevant to me! Warning: the following article contains a heavy dose of sarcasm. Read at your own risk, and whatever you do, DO NOT follow the advice! A high potential employee is one of your highest performing employees that also is showing signs of being able to handle greater responsibilities.

D o you remember the book or movie Pete’s Dragon? I vaguely do. Those memories of Pete’s Dragon are found memories, as vague as they are. I remember the oddly drawn green dragon and the little orphan boy the story revolves around. Recently, Disney decided to remake Pete’s Dragon. Can I say WOW?!? The new Pete’s Dragon was a stunning recreation of the original that made this grown man feel like a little kid.

In the 16th century, political consultant (for lack of a better term) Niccolò Machiavelli’s works were published in the controversial manuscript The Prince – which is still in print today. In it, Machiavelli shared his theories on how a ruler could maintain control of his province – especially when gaining new subjects through military or political conquest.

Leaders have a lot on their plate. They have lots to think about, lots to do and lots to decide. This likely conjures a picture of frantic busyness and not one of relaxed calmness. Yet, I propose, and by the end of this article I hope you will agree, that we will be more successful […]. The post Five Reasons Why Leaders Need to Relax appeared first on Kevin Eikenberry on Leadership & Learning.

One of the biggest challenges everyone in business faces is getting a recommendation approved--whether it be a costly new technology program, a new hire, the close of a big sale, or a request for promotion. People pitch ideas every day. And every day they get shot down. The problem: all too often the focus is on the analysis and data and not on the communication.

Is your strategy built on received wisdom or analysis of performance data? – management rhetoric or business reality? Are you building your business strategy on received wisdom or real data? Corporate strategies are often based on assumptions about what drives business performance rather than data from the company itself. J.W. Marriott (founder of Marriott Hotels) is famous for saying “You’ve got to make your employees happy.

It’s not news that the role of salespeople and selling is changing. In the past, salespeople were often the first step in a purchase process, and could significantly influence customer decision-making by controlling information about pricing, availability, competitive advantage, etc. But in this era of nearly ubiquitous information, customers usually engage with salespeople after they’ve already researched their purchase and in some cases made their purchase decision.

I find it interesting seeing people wanting to be leaders like it is the first-place position in a race. Each one is vying for that coveted position to be able to lead and tell people what to do, a position that has an aura of power and authority that is bestowed upon them, that enables them to give commands that their people have to follow and carry out.

In 2014, Michael Callahan, then head of customer experience at Hulu, had a mystery on his hands. When the big video streaming service surveyed customers who renewed subscriptions, it discovered, paradoxically, that some customers stayed with Hulu even when they didn’t necessarily have a positive perception of the brand overall. It turned out that some customer service representatives of the third-largest player in the streaming video space were pushing fence-sitting customers too hard, sai

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” The line is instantly recognizable as the conclusion of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. And, the misunderstood poem helps to highlight how innovation-seeking executives need to reframe the word risk. Most readers assume Frost’s poem is hopeful, describing the value of the rugged individualism that has long served as an American hallmark.

Here are two surprising facts. First, the average American estimates that over 25% of the U.S. federal budget goes to foreign aid. That is wildly off. It is actually only 1% of the federal budget, or $35 billion for all nonmilitary assistance. Second fact: just 1% of that 1% goes toward promoting entrepreneurship. Why is that surprising? Because entrepreneurship reliably generates jobs, and joblessness — especially among young people or failing states – is probably one of the most si
