Guest post from Kathy Kolbe: “I’m a strategist,” Hank tells his management team. “Like most good generals, I give you the specifics of what you need to do, and why.” Hank’s wise about what works best for him to do – or not to do. But his stereotyping of generals is not accurate. We’ve worked with four-star generals who describe their leadership method this way: “I give my people the bottom line of what’s gotta happen.

As awkward as it might be. Years ago I was serving on a team where there was a consistent idea killer. Whenever anyone on the team presented an idea, regardless of the idea’s merit, this person would shoot it down. He always saw the glass as half empty and was negative about everything. It’s okay to have someone who asks questions to make things better.

Ian Bradbury presented on Exploring Measurement at our 2016 annual conference. As usual his presentation is packed with great information. I strongly recommend watching (also see links to more presentations by him below). At the very beginning of his talk, Ian says. Stuff happens a lot and nothing results from that.

Employee burnout is a common phenomenon, but it is one that companies tend to treat as a talent management or personal issue rather than a broader organizational challenge. That’s a mistake. The psychological and physical problems of burned-out employees, which cost an estimated $125 billion to $190 billion a year in healthcare spending in the U.S., are just the most obvious impacts.

As a business leader, you’ll often find yourself in the position of working with external subject matter experts (SMEs) to supplement your team’s knowledge base, or help you with a particular task that your team isn’t built to complete on its own. These SMEs are often critical and can be helpful in many ways: they can help you find the right information to make a decision, or point you in the right direction when investigating a problem.

As artificial intelligence algorithms infiltrate the enterprise, organizational learning matters as much as machine learning. How should smart management teams maximize the economic value of smarter systems? Business process redesign and better training are important, but better use cases – those real-world tasks and interactions that determine everyday business outcomes – offer the biggest payoffs.

In the traditional media industry, some outlets differentiate themselves through quality, but social media hasn’t gotten there yet — there is no “ New York Times of social media.” The modern landscape for newspapers and books resulted from centuries of evolution, but “new media” hasn’t yet developed such strong brands and categories.

Imagine you’re a middle class American, with an average education and average skills. You’re employed. What are the chances that next year you’ll vault into the top third of earners? It depends quite a bit on the company you work for. For middle-skilled, middle class workers at low-paying firms, the chance of moving into the top third of the income distribution was just 0.6%, according to a recent paper analyzing U.S.

I help the University of Utah hospital system manage its drug budgets and medication use policies, and in 2015 I got sticker shock. Our annual inpatient pharmacy cost for a single drug skyrocketed from $300,000 to $1.9 million. That’s because the drug maker Valeant suddenly increased the price of isoproterenol from $440 to roughly $2,700 a dose.

Several years ago, colleagues and I were invited to predict the results of a start-up pitch contest in Vienna, where 2,500 tech entrepreneurs were competing to win thousands of euros in funds. We observed the presentations, but rather than paying attention to the ideas the entrepreneurs were pitching, we were watching the body language and microexpressions of the judges as they listened.
