Passive Employees Are Your Key To Success

Lead Change Blog

I was absolutely shocked when the CEO of a small organization told me why she couldn’t be more effective. She told me that she spent about 80% of her time involved in employee behavior issues which left little time for her to focus on the basic needs of the company. What added insult to her injury was that it was only a small portion (10%) of her staff members who were chewing up the majority of her time and energy.

Ron Edmondson

How to know you have an empowering culture Empowering other people on the team to be leaders – it’s called delegation – is critical to a successful church or organization. Every leader talks about delegation, but few truly empower others to be leaders. It’s a frustration I hear frequently from staff members of churches. Frankly, as one with a strength (StrengthFinders) of command, I can easily take over if no one else takes the lead.

Chapter 18. It’s funny how things work. As I look back on the trajectory of my own life, it seems to me that all the things I’ve done and all the people I’ve met have yielded lessons that have built on each other in increasingly meaningful ways. Some are convinced that the human experience is random and our time on this earth is not only infinitesimal but insignificant as well, the life’s-a-b h-and-then-you-die school of thought.

How Predictive AI Will Change Shopping

Harvard Business Review

Imagine you’re about to leave the house to pick up your kids. As you grab your keys, you hear a voice from the device on your coffee table: “It looks like you’ll use the last of your milk tomorrow, and yogurt is on sale for $1.19. Would you like to pick up an order from Trader Joe’s, for a total of $5.35?” You say yes, and Alexa confirms.

Labels Like “Millennial” and “Boomer” Are Obsolete

Harvard Business Review

Scarcely a presentation on marketing trends is complete without reference to the Boomer, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z segments and allusions to each generation’s unique expectations, behaviors, attitudes, and values. The grand conclusion is always that these distinct demographic segments define generation-specific consumption patterns that marketers ignore at their peril.

Seven Lessons American Manufacturing’s Decline Can Teach Any Company

Strategy Driven

The United States destroyed its enemies in World War II because it out-produced them. Its manufacturing capacity was enormous and efficient. Its workforce was inspired and committed.

What Younger Workers Can Learn from Older Workers, and Vice Versa

Harvard Business Review

Coaching and mentoring across age groups makes sense. There is surely much each can learn from the other. We typically imagine that the young can help the old understand technology and the old can impart general wisdom. But is there more insight to possible cross-generational learning than these commonplace observations? What else, specifically, can the young learn from the old, and the old from the young?

Is Your Company Experiencing Good Times? Time for a Plan B

Harvard Business Review

Disruptors should know better than anyone that we are all vulnerable to being disrupted ourselves, and often faster than we imagine possible. Everybody needs an Act II and maybe Act III and beyond. One act plays have their place in theater, but are generally not a desirable descriptor for a career or business. The challenge is timing: often we need to be moving on to Plan B while Plan A is still in full hyper-growth swing.

A Simple Way to Stay Grounded in Stressful Moments

Harvard Business Review

Mindfulness should be as much a physical practice as it is a mental one. Given its name, you might think mindfulness is something you do only with your mind. In fact, lots of research, including my own, has shown that paying attention to our bodies is often an easy way into mindfulness and helps us reduce stress while it’s happening. This may seem counterintuitive because when our mind is overwhelmed, our body is often the last thing we’re thinking about.

Sustainable Business Will Move Ahead With or Without Trump’s Support

Harvard Business Review

If we take the incoming president of the United States at his word, things look dire for the cause of sustainability. Donald Trump and many of his advisers appear hostile to action on climate change and to progress on many social issues that companies have already embraced, such as diversity and LGBT rights. Even if Trump himself stays ambivalent on some of these issues, Republican leaders have much clearer aims, including extensive plans to slash environmental protections.
