For seven years I have held the title of Math Department Chair and led a team of ten wonderfully talented and dedicated teachers. We did so much good work together.

I was cycling from Breckenridge, Colorado up Vail Pass on a recent Sunday afternoon. What I hadn’t anticipated was that the Copper Triangle, a major cycling event, was happening at the same time, and I soon found myself slowly climbing up the steep mountain while hundreds of cyclists were racing down. A mile and a quarter before the summit, one of those speeding cyclists clipped the wheel of another rider and was thrown from his bike about 10 yards in front of me landing on his head.

The following is a guest piece by CEO Matt Rizzetta. As our business has scaled, one thing that we’ve carried with us each step of the way has been a commitment to experimentation in the workplace. Some of our best ideas and biggest cultural differentiators were borne from experiments we created. Make no mistake about it. While I’m incredibly proud of the culture of experimentation that we’ve cultivated through the years, it’s come at a steep price.

By Linda Fisher Thornton This post begins a series on talking about what matters. Great attention is often paid to values in defining and marketing an organization. But what happens after that? It's the ongoing dialogue about how to apply those values that brings them to life. Some leaders assume that if the values are written down, they will be followed.

Guest post from Robin Speculand: Leaders across the world have been taught how to plan but not how to execute. Every university offering a business degree has on their faculty a professor teaching strategy but almost none have a professor teaching its execution. This has left a skills gap among today’s leaders that heavily contributes to the downfall of company attempts to execute their strategy, resulting in loss of market and shareholder value.

Just two years into my first dream job, I got fired. Like many new managers, I had been promoted because I was ambitious and good at the front-line work. But as soon as I was promoted I started using my authority to boss people around. I assumed I was right and they were wrong, and I spent a lot of time driven by anxiety and annoyance. In the years that followed my termination, I became able to see that self-care had been unimportant to me.

The reasons employees may be absent from work are varied and many but the bottom line is, absenteeism has a larger cost associated with it than many people realize. In the United States on a yearly basis, absenteeism costs companies just under $3000 per salaried employee, while the cost is just under $4000 per hourly paid worker. These cumulative costs can become quite significant, which means companies really should look into implementing systems which help them to keep track of work force abse

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.

The gurus were wrong. When I began diving deep into the personal development world, I was fed a lie. I was told not to do this one specific activity. Years later I regret buying into the lie. Successful people don’t do this. Successful people run fast and far from this. And successful people don’t partake in this activity at all. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Guest post from Angela Sebaly: A recent Harvard Business Review article examined Shell Corporation’s adoption of an 18-month program designed to help the company’s offshore workers give and receive feedback before their upcoming deployment. With the help of an outside consultant, Shell’s experiment pushed the typically tight-lipped crew to talk about everything from what it was like for them growing up to what it was like working with each other.

It can be hard to be a leader in today’s hurried business climate. People seem to expect a leader to know everything, be everything and do everything, all at the same time. But even if you can, that doesn’t mean you should. Great leaders know that deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do. Most leaders executives, bosses, managers run into trouble when they think they need fix it all, but frankly that’s impossible.

We’ve all seen it: the leader who takes all the credit for success and doesn’t deflect any of it to the people who did the hard daily work to get there. Maybe you have been subjected to that leader who brags and lays claim to all that’s been achieved without recognizing the good hard work you put in. It’s not a great feeling. In fact, it’s enough to cause loss of enthusiasm and engagement.
