Leading in Context

By Linda Fisher Thornton Organizations are facing multiple connected challenges. First, they need to prevent ethical mistakes in a high speed, highly transparent business environment. Second, they need to engage leaders in relevant ethical learning so that the principles "stick" and are used to handle real problems. Third, they need to help leaders apply ethical thinking so they don't just take "best practices" at face value.

There is no more time to put it off—you have to have that difficult conversation. It is possible the person you need to talk to will be angry, resentful, or just shut down; but you don’t have to leave feeling upset or inadequate. You want people to stretch their limits, but your conversations meant to help them often fall flat or backfire, creating more resistance than growth.

According to Wikipedia, Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland.

I’ve written a few times recently about the importance of breaking free from the straitjacket of our increasingly specialized world, and adopting a more generalist approach to skills development. One of the core benefits from this approach is that it allows us to be more innovative. Innovation today is increasingly recombinative in nature. This means that innovators are not necessarily inventing completely new things, but rather applying existing technologies in new ways.

Last year I looked at the positive impact the gig economy could have on the mental health of those involved. The article was based upon INSEAD research that showed self-employed workers having better mental health than their salaried peers. What’s more, they also drank less, had higher confidence and showed less signs of stress. “We find a strong and positive effect of these types of employment on mental health, consistent across a variety of specifications,” the authors expla

In his recent Globe & Mail column, “The Benefit of Silencing Our Own Egos,” Harvey Schachter writes, “Columbia University psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman observes on the Scientific American blog that media debates he watches these days want to make his head explode: ‘All our egos are just too damn loud.’ And those out-of-control egos we witness in the media probably contribute to our own manner when leading.” “When a man is wrapped up in himself, he

Towards the back end of last year, I covered new research that found that semi-autonomous vehicles are more likely to be blamed for accidents involving human drivers, but the issue of liability in the wake of an accident remains a tricky one. Indeed, the decision from the National Transportation Safety Board split liability between Uber, the vehicle, the victim, the safety driver on board the vehicle, and the state of Arizona.

Worry is like a plague to our body. It attacks our mind, then our heart, and over time, it can consume our overall health. Continuous worry leads to a state of anxiety, where you rarely have periods of the day when you aren’t worried. Wouldn’t it be great to never worry again? I’m not sure this is humanly possible – although Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life.

Only large corporations can actually afford to hire all their needs in-house and have that be the most cost effective solution. Everyone else needs to work together. Knowing who to work with, or even that you need to work with someone to start with, is what trips many new and established businesses up. Outsourcing can and should be your friend, but if you find the wrong partner you could end up price-gouged at every turn.
