Lead Change Blog

During World War II, the Allied Forces established supply bases in airfields on many islands in the South Pacific. The residents of those islands had never seen airplanes, or canned food, or many other things that the military uses to support operations.

How To Morph Your Soul-Sucking Manager Into a Source of Inspiration

Lead Change Blog

Part 1: Coping and Building Bridges. There are many types of bad managers, and we can’t address them all in a blog post–or even seven blog posts. But the common denominator among bad managers is that they all sap the inspiration you feel at work (and maybe at home too). More than likely, you can’t do anything about who your boss is (if you want to stay in the same job), but you can influence the impact they have on you.

Getting Out of Life What You Put into It

In the CEO Afterlife

“If you don’t write it, Grandad’s story will be lost forever.” Those were the words of my daughter 17 years ago. I’ll never forget the yearning in her eyes. Grandad was 80 at the time. He’s now 97. The family had heard his war stories over and over again. Fascinating tales of trials and tribulations. As a young Yugoslav air force pilot, he had been coerced onto the wrong side of WWII when the Germans invaded in 1941.

Steve Farber

Just before the 2016 presidential elections, the Pew Research Center published the results of a survey that pretty much confirms what I suspect most of us think about political content on social media. It found, for instance, that only 20 percent of social media users said they “like seeing lots of political posts and discussions,” while 37 percent said they were “worn out” by such posts and discussions.

How Data Flow and Statistics Are Growing in Importance Across Public and Private Sectors

Strategy Driven

The collection of data has never been more important in both the private and public sectors. With the likes of Amazon’s AWS cloud service now offering their Snowmobile data truck that will pull up to your server room, copy your exabytes of data on request, and then drive away to place it in the cloud (saving potentially years of upload time), the size of the data collection effort often relating to customers past and present is immense.

7 Signs It’s Not Really A Team

Ron Edmondson

In my world the word team is used almost on a daily basis. Most of us want to be in a team environment. However, in my experience working with churches – and it was true when I was in business also – more people claim to have it than actually do. I still see more control than empowerment. I see more internal silos than I see true cooperation.

What to Do If Your Boss Gets Distracted by Every New Thing

Harvard Business Review

nico piotto/Getty Images. No matter what the strategic plan says, many of us are more attracted to something new that’s glittering on the horizon than we are to the goals that have languished on our to-do list for months. This weakness is as true for senior leaders as it is for the rank-and-file, but when a CEO or other senior executive is known for chasing shiny objects, a lot of people and projects can suffer.

5 Ways the Best Companies Close the Strategy-Execution Gap

Harvard Business Review

James Balog/Getty Images. Executives say that they lose 40% of their strategy’s potential value to breakdowns in execution. In our experience at Bain & Company, however, this strategy-to-performance gap is rarely the result of shortcomings in implementation; it is because the plans are flawed from the start. Too many companies still follow a “Plan-then-Do” approach to strategy: The organization works tirelessly to create its best forecasts about the future market and compet
