Lead from Within

Too many of us can’t remember the last time we were truly able to focus on a task without getting distracted. There is always something clamoring for our attention: the phone, notifications, emails, texts, people dropping in, on and on. If we give in to distraction, the harm goes beyond the immediate effects. Left unchecked, distraction can actually destroy our ability to focus.

Or, the Case Against the “Very Senior Associate Manager” Job Title Job title creep happens in nearly every organization, especially in a slow-growth economy. Merit increases are small, growth opportunities are few. When positions are eliminated, those who remain take on those additional tasks, and they naturally want to be rewarded for doing so.

Whether you’re looking for a change of work, or you had that change forced upon you by a layoff or firing, looking for a new job is a big endeavor. A job search is a job in and of itself. But unfortunately, it’s a job that a lot of people start in the wrong place. When it’s time to find a new position, most people start in one of two places. Some start with close friends, family members, and maybe even colleagues they worked closely with.

There’s a lot in the media about burnout right now; what burnout is, what it costs us, and what to do about it (especially in healthcare where it’s estimated that the prevalence of physician burnout is about twice as high as in the general population). With the World Health Organization (WHO) making it an official medical diagnosis and putting it in their handbook ( International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) , the conversation around burnout is shifting… it’s “real.”.

The recent Global Innovation Index provided its annual walk through the innovation landscape to explore which countries are doing best. While the UK remains in the top ten, concerns persist, not least around the various mobility issues involved in the turgid Brexit negotiations.

There are supposedly several tell tale signs that someone is faking a smile, such as the lack of wrinkles around the eyes. Yet spotting one in the heat of the moment is somewhat easier said than done. A new study from the University of Bradford set out to see if AI could do a better job. The software developed by the team analyzed a range of photos and videos to spot the movement of the smile across each person’s face in order to detect whether it was genuine or not.

In the past year, my company began a tradition called “Welcome Wednesday.”. “Welcome Wednesday” is a monthly event during which the entire office gathers to meet and welcome new hires. There are usually games and snacks, and before the event is over, new hires are asked to introduce themselves and present three “fun facts.” It’s usually during the presentation of these “fun facts” that I realize how boring my life seems, and how interesting the lives of all these new hires appear in comparison.

One of the best ways to determine if your service/business/organization is providing excellent customer service is for you, as a manager, to pretend you are the customer. Try it today.

When it comes to making changes, and doing so successfully, whether that change is: . In a home. In an organization. In a business. In a church. The way you introduce change is equally important to the change you introduce. That’s the most critical step. The way you begin will impact everything else.
