When I started my first HR job at 26, my boss handed me a stack of books and two pieces of advice. (1) Always read what the client is reading and (2) learn to “talk trucks” (meaning, “learn the business, kid.”) Straight […].

It’s a common fact of leadership today that if you want to improve productivity and fuel organizational growth, you need to make sure your employees are engaged at work. And yet, despite both the evidence supporting the critical role employee engagement plays to driving your organization’s success and most leaders wanting to improve employee engagement levels in their workplace, organizations everywhere are still struggling with this issue.

In the competitive marketplace, a leader has the challenge to lead an organization to help it achieve their goals. Every company is competing for market shares, customers, and suppliers. Each year, they are challenged by their stakeholders to do better than they did the prior year. To succeed, a leader needs to focus on business as usual and at the same time spend time thinking about the future.

Guest post from Lloyd “Skip“ Amstrup : Imagine you are sitting in your office when your assistant rushes in to tell you that your security system has been breached. Sensitive customer information has been compromised. You get a chill down your spine, as you struggle to maintain your composer. Your assistant dreaded having to make this announcement, fully expecting a highly charged emotional outburst.

I was vying for a position in “corporate” that would round out my experience for something bigger later on. The manager who was interviewing me gave the most grueling interview I’d ever had. His intensity in interviews was the stuff of legends, and I wasn’t given a break. I got the job, and came to realize this guy was actually a great leader and a joy to work for.

When was the last time you were bored? I’m willing to bet that you can’t remember. If I’m right, it’s because, in 2017, no one ever has to be bored. That smartphone super computer you carry around in your pocket guarantees it. Don’t know what to do next? There’s always an Instagram feed to look at, a text to answer, an email to delete, a podcast to listen to, a cat video to watch, a news headline to click on or a Minecraft challenge to beat.

How do you lead a team that’s not there? It’s hard enough to be a good leader when your teammates are in the same room. But what about when they aren’t even in the same time zone? When you can’t look someone directly in the eye, things get much more challenging. Yet leading virtual teams is the future. Studies show that 25% of jobs involve teaming from distant locations.

Every office has its fair-share of politics – it’s one of the areas where we receive the most questions and it’s the topic of some of our most popular webinars.

I was puzzled, embarrassed, and a little annoyed. I had reached out to an acquaintance. I wanted to give her a heads-up about something I was planning that I thought would affect her. I did not anticipate her particular response. I felt like I had just touched a hot stove. I was only trying to be nice. “Trying to be Nice” is Tricky. I had heard that same phrase from a client a few weeks before.

Every time you reach a consulting project’s milestone you’d like your client to be so delighted with your deliverable that they leap with joy, slather you with praise and immediately investigate whether your results can be immortalized in a Taylor Swift song. How do you craft a consulting deliverable that compels such love?

The German poet and novelist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe seemed to understand a thing or two about the importance of close relationships with like-minded people. Consider this translated line from his Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship, von Goethe’s novel about a businessman’s journey of self-realization: “The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth

This will ensure that you can always pay for your premises, staff, and stock.

Surviving Leadership

During a recent #Nextchat , the conversation turned to making sure current employees were honest about what life was like at the company when talking to candidates. I think I said something clever like, “Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows at any org, no matter how great it is.” Then Anne Tomkinson (a co-host of the chat) said something even MORE clever, “And you also never know what is positive or negative to someone.

Morsa Images/Getty Images. Peter Drucker said : “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.” This and a slew of similar maxims reflect a common view of strategy execution: that it’s distinct from strategy, harder to pull off than defining a strategy, and therefore more critical to success — underpinned by seemingly indisputable virtues such as diligence, discipline, consistency, alignment, and focus.
Lead from Within

Everyone I know in leadership has more to do then they have hours in the day. But even with the top leaders I coach, there’s a common mistake they make when they’re pressed for time—most are concentrating on tasks instead of leading. It’s understandable that when you have too much to do, you do what comes easily, but that impulse doesn’t lend itself to great leadership.

Freek Vermeulen, an associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at the London Business School, argues that too many companies are following so-called best practices that are actually holding them back. They do it because of deep-seated industry tradition—and because it’s hard to know how seemingly successful business models will hold up over the long term.

Tim Ellis/Getty Images. Public speaking tends to be a love-or-hate pursuit. Some professionals loathe the prospect , wishing it weren’t required of them. Others — and I hear from many – dream of developing a paid speaking career on the side. Indeed, the economics can be enticing. Top speakers in the corporate world often command $20,000-$35,000 for one-hour keynotes, and I’ve developed a healthy six-figure side business doing so.

As topics like automation, artificial intelligence, and skills retraining dominate conversations about the future of work , some predict catastrophic job loss and a dystopian future where legions of unskilled workers languish unemployable in the margins. Others, like O’Reilly Media’s Tim O’Reilly, aren’t so pessimistic.

In his book “Who Owns the Future?” digital iconoclast Jaron Lanier, who was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine and is now a Microsoft employee, once pointed out that people should own their online data profile and be compensated if they choose to share some of it.
