'I fell in love with road maps when I was 4 years old, paging through my dad’s Rand McNally atlas in the backseat of our Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 as we made our annual trips to northern Minnesota to visit my grandparents and extended family.

We’re excited about the possibilities, a little nervous about the outcome, and unhesitant to dive in and get started. That excitement doesn’t last forever. Instead, it typically comes to a predictable end when we hit something inevitable: constraints. We’re told there isn’t enough time to implement what we first thought, or that the budget was slashed and now we have to produce the same outcome with

I’ve been lucky in life that I had a number of leaders (many without a title) who helped me to be resilient and to pay it forward to others.

'Much of your brain is hardwired from birth. Our primitive reflexes make us hyper-alert for bad news. Our brains detect negative information faster than positive information, and we have a stronger memory for painful experiences than pleasurable ones. This hardwiring ensured the survival of our ancestors. But the world has changed, and so has our understanding of how we can use our brains in today’s world.

It’s the one thing most leadership books will never tell you about, yet it is also the only thing that can predict whether you will succeed or not. That one thing is obvious when you stop and think about it – followers! Leading is about being followed. Period.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
