Let’s talk about discouragement, shall we? If you and I sifted through the dustbin of history, I bet we’d find a whole bunch of great books, ideas, companies, hopes that wound up there because someone got discouraged. I’d have some stuff in that dustbin. Maybe you would, too. And, you know, I think I’ve had enough of that. I’m done with being outdone by discouragement.

The following is a guest contribution from Kate Rodriguez on behalf of The Economist Executive Education Navigator. One of the hottest themes in management and leadership today is the importance of understanding the introvert at work. The idea that workplaces reward extroverts has been around for a while. Discussions on the differences between those with outward-looking personalities (extroverts) versus those with inward tendencies (introverts) has been around for years – the concept was introdu

U LTIMATELY our future is not in linear—incremental—improvements. It is in nonlinear—nonconforming, breakthrough—change. But the future is built now and that’s the problem. What should we be doing now to insure we have a future? Dartmouth professor Vijay Govindarajan writes, “As much as we might pay lip service to the fact that the future will differ dramatically from the past, we often behave as though it will be exactly the same.

We need leaders who are smart, get things done, AND connect and relate to the people who support them. Yet I often find that many leaders feel uncomfortable in relating to others in a way that moves their organization forward. So the mission(s) don’t get accomplished while these leaders stay within their comfort zone- in their offices, managing people without connecting with them except to become overly involved in their daily work.

by Jolene Erlacher. It happened again just last week. A gentleman at a roundtable I was facilitating made the argument that Millennials are just like any other generation. There are indeed life cycle effects—things that are similar for every generation at specific seasons of life. Most of us know better than everyone else when we are 25, right?! However, there are period and cohort effects that give each generation unique perspectives.

Yesterday, I had a sudden, dramatic perspective change. From the time I was about 16, I have believed that my life was a journey and that the best years of a woman's life (when she "arrives") are between 50 and 65. I now (through the wisdom of having landed on 50), would extend that to 75. […].

The larger role of responsibility or the higher position you hold in an organization, the more you must discipline and free yourself for future-tense thinking. I remember explaining this concept to a senior pastor. His church had stalled. As I learned more about the church, it wasn’t surprising to me. They were doing things the same way they’ve done them for many years.

The technology most likely to change the next decade of business is not the social web, big data, the cloud, robotics, or even artificial intelligence. It’s the blockchain, the technology behind digital currencies like Bitcoin. Blockchain technology is complex, but the idea is simple. At its most basic, blockchain is a vast, global distributed ledger or database running on millions of devices and open to anyone, where not just information but anything of value – money, titles, deeds,

We have all seen or heard of high-profile cases where M&A deals didn’t work out. AOL–Time Warner, HP-Compaq, Quaker-Snapple — these are just some of the big ones. An analysis of 2,500 such deals by our firm shows that more than 60% of them destroy shareholder value. Perhaps such deals should come with an official warning: “Acquisitions can result in serious damage to your corporate health, up to and including death.” And yet even in light of such daunting data,

Consumer-facing (B2C) companies like these and many others have long realized the power of online digital networks to address the questions or issues of their customers. As Bernard Hours, the former COO of Danone, put it, “On the internet, a brand has to become a person, to listen and to answer questions.” In the B2B world, though, the experience is very different.

BLU. One of the key functions of a board of directors is to oversee the CEO to ensure that shareholders are getting the most out of their investment. This idea has led to regulation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002), as well as requirements by the NYSE and NASDAQ that boards have a majority of independent directors and that members on the audit committee have financial expertise.

In the new world of “work without walls,” work happens in brains instead of factories, in open floor plans instead of private offices, and at soccer games, beaches, and coffee houses in addition to corporate headquarters. And yet in my work with clients, I often discover old ideas about time management that don’t take this new reality into account.
