Despite the constancy of change in today’s global marketplace, the environment for change in many organizations is unfriendly at best. Few organizations have the appetite for change found at Facebook, Google, Amazon, and other innovative firms.

There’s nothing better than kicking a new year off with the wind at your back and a core set of resolutions to guide you to greatness. Indeed my fellow leaders, it’s that time again to ready ourselves to embody the very definition of “lead”, and show the way. I’ve found that the best way for me to do that is to commit myself to these 10 resolutions, and if I can stick to them diligently, especially in the first couple of months, I know I’ll be in the best position t

As the clock starts to wind down on 2017, I’ve been spending some time reflecting on some of the recurring themes and ideas I’ve written and spoken about over the past 12 months. Among these various leadership topics and issues was the subject of finding a sense of purpose in what we do, a topic which also served as the focus of the TEDx talk I gave this past September here in Montreal.

M OST LEADERS (the less than great ones) can become afraid of learning their employees’ true feelings towards the company and its overall structure. In turn, they shy away from even initiating such conversations and asking the important questions.

I’ve been naïve. For years, I’ve promoted the virtues of kindness as a fundamental trait for great leaders. I’ve poked holes in the thin idea that nice guys finish last. And I’ve begged on my knees to bring civility back to leadership. All this because I’ve always believed all humans have the capacity to JUST. BE. NICE. Then, I found a book called The Sociopath Next Door, by Dr.

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.

M OVING YOUR AGENDA is not always easy. Yet, as a leader, you are remembered because you were able to move an agenda. Samuel Bacharach writes in The Agenda Mover , that leadership is “about your capacity to take your ideas and work them through the maze of resistance, overcome challenges, and put those ideas in place. Leaders are remembered for their accomplishments, not their promises.

How many of us have experienced effective cultural change? How many, not? My sense is more of the latter than the former, and chief among the reasons for change failing is the pivotal role of the leader. One startling example from my past, doomed to glorious failure from the outset, was a former Head of Service, who said at our very first senior staff meeting, “From now on, we will pursue the leadership model of Ready, Fire, Aim!”.
