I recently read a book (big surprise) that had a list of taglines and that got me thinking. Do taglines work if they are just words? Or does the company have to do something to earn the right to their tagline? In some cases, I think just having the tagline works - when it is in sync with what we think the company is. For example: Just do it - Nike (they stole that one from me before I thought of it) Quality never goes out of style - Levi Challenge everything - EA (Genius for a video game company

Best practices sound like a sensible idea…. The problem is, the faster the world moves, the more unpredictable change is, the more disrupted your environment is, the more problematic best practices become. Basing the way you operate in the past, which is what best practices tell you to do, doesn’t equip you to navigate change. Backed by 40 years of research, “THAT’S NOT HOW WE DO IT HERE: A Story about How Organizations Rise and Fall—and Can Rise Again,” tackles the eternal tension between manag

Great leaders pattern themselves after (drumroll, please) themselves. As stated by Jim Rohn, noted business philosopher, “all great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective.”. Yet a significant amount of the billions of dollars we spend each year on leadership training is not about working on ourselves but patterning our leadership on some other leader’s life, leadership model, or leadership principles.

Finding people to meet is easy. They’re all around you. Heck, swarms of happy citizens are blowing their mad-money at the carnival a few miles from your house. A prospective buyer or two may even be wandering the midway, but good luck identifying them. (And do you want to shake their hands sticky from cotton-candy or who-knows-what? Blech.) Meeting folks who are apt to hire you is tougher.

According to Ron Ricci and Carl Wiese , authors of the book, The Collaboration Imperative , high-performing teams have the following characteristics: People have solid and deep trust in each other and in the team's purpose--they feel free to express feelings and ideas.

I created a ranking of top management improvement blogs for fun. There is no way to objectively rate blogs by how worthy or valuable they are. I just wanted to create a listing that ranked blogs I thought were worth reading using a collection of metrics that I think have some merit (even if that merit is fairly limited). Here are the top 10 as of now (it will change over time): The most important factor is my selection of what blogs to include in the first place.

We were at a department store looking at some shirts in the men’s department on sale. After over 10 years in retail, including as a buyer, I love nice clothes, but I’m cheap when it comes to spending money on myself. When I can find a good bargain I’m excited. I saw a shirt I really liked, but I quickly knew it wasn’t for me.

In the past, time management experts would recommend that you divide up your work into A tasks, B tasks, and C tasks. The concept was to do the A tasks first, then the B tasks, then the C tasks, when you can get to them. If priorities changed, you just changed the order of your As, Bs, and Cs. Doing all aspects of a job seemed possible then, if you just followed some basic time management rules.

Despite a great deal of lip service to digital transformation, the effect of all these great words on most companies is this: not much. Digital transformation halts, or fails, for many reasons—but most often it’s because minor changes at the surface level do nothing to affect the fundamental operations of a company. Appointing a Chief Digital Officer, with no budget and no clear mandate, is not digital transformation.

Growth creates complexity, and complexity is the silent killer of growth. This paradox explains why only about one company in nine has sustained more than a minimum level of profitable growth during the past decade, and why 85 percent of executives blame internal factors for their shortfall, not external ones beyond their control. The roots of sustained performance start deep inside.

In the global effort to limit climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), the energy and transportation sectors are the most obvious targets, but perhaps not be the biggest.

Apple fuses technology with design. IBM invests in research that is often a decade ahead of its time. Facebook “moves fast and maintains a stable infrastructure” (but apparently doesn’t break things anymore ). Each of these companies, in its own way, is a superior innovator. But what makes Google (now officially known as Alphabet) different is that it doesn’t rely on any one innovation strategy, but deploys a number of them to create an intricate — but powerful R
