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. I work extensively with CPAs, CFOs, and other technical professionals; a group not known for its propensity to change.

There’s a saying that says that we don’t remember the days, we only remember the moments.

And I bet you were also probably capturing some of those magical moments with a camera – probably the one on your smartphone. As you know, most cameras that people use today, like on a smartphone, come with something called “autofocus.

“You are only as good as your word.” This used to be a popular, if trite and overstated concept. Unfortunately, in many circles today, the mantra may sound to many as some quaint old notion. We all know that, in reality, it’s far more than that. Without high integrity – without an implicit trust that people can fully believe you actually mean what you say – all of our interactions with other people are cheapened dramatically.

Guest post from Dean Lindsay : I read a funny cartoon in Fast Company magazine a good while back. It was of two fish swimming next to each other. One of the fish had a hook dangling from its mouth. That fish said, “Oh, it was a scary couple of minutes, but now I am making a fortune as a motivational speaker.” A few times over the years I have been referred to as a motivational speaker and at first I really didn’t care for it.

Every workgroup needs a contrarian. People with different points of view, experiences, or attitudes move conversation and decision-making to a higher level. They aid in getting unconventional ideas and options noticed, comfort zones expanded, and results improved. That’s the upside. Some contrarians can also bring things to a complete halt. The Urban Dictionary defines a contrarian as “someone who automatically tends to take the opposite point of view from the person to whom they’re speaki

Every once in a while, I work with a leader who heads up an organization that has been traumatized by an event or situation. This can be difficult work for the leader because they need to acknowledge and work with the suffering the employees are experiencing while continuing to move forward with the organizational mission. Helping a team work through something that devastated them is hard work that every leader may not be naturally cut out for.

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.

Your mind is lying to you. One of the things I’ve battled with throughout my life has been self-doubt. I doubt that I’m good enough. I doubt people like me. And I doubt I make an impact on the world. No one has told me any of those things. Yet my mind replays those thoughts on an almost daily basis. Image by Evan Rummel. Self-doubt mocks me.
