oYou work hard to set a positive example for your team. You care about success, and you want your people to succeed. You’ve clarified what matters most and you’re committed to accountability. You’re intentional about your culture. But somehow, your leadership presence isn’t working. You don’t have the connection or influence you hope for. Committed, caring, hard-working leaders often find one or more of three overused strengths interfere with their influence.

And worst of all, people whom you’d never expect to move up, do. What’s going on? You’re not playing the game by the same rules that THEY do.

If you are introducing a new change initiative – or just looking for ways to develop the people on your team to improve their skills, it isn’t an easy job.

Since the start of the pandemic, organizations of all sizes navigated unprecedented challenges and changes along with their employees. Some were surprised at what they were able to accomplish during this critical time. In fact, we heard several examples of multi-year change programs that were accomplished in a matter of months after the pandemic upended everything.

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.

Businesses often hire consultants to take a “fresh look” at things. It’s usually helpful to add an outside perspective to the inner workings of a business. But what if you could add a fresh perspective without having to outsource?

Over the past few years, there has been a growing sense that companies should move away from the Friedman doctrine of only being interested in profits and returns to shareholders, and focus instead on their wider impact upon society. How true is that really, however? Research from Berkeley Haas explores the matter through the lens of philanthropic donations and finds that often these donations are strongly linked with policy changes that benefit the company.
