G IVEN that we live in a radically changing world, what got you here won’t get you there. In Michael Useem’s words, “The best capacities of an earlier time remain informative but also incomplete for the challenges we face ahead.” Therefore, “what’s required is a mixture of traditional capacities, fresh capabilities, and a learning bridge for combining the two.”.

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.

As is his gift, Grant described something many were feeling but couldn’t quite articulate. The suspended animation aspect of the past two years and the feeling of a lack of control over our circumstances have left many of us in a state somewhere between depression and flourishing.

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. Many people on your team will not immediately seem excited and enthusiastic about the change that you are about to introduce – or are already in the middle of implementing.

You work hard. You come in early, stay late. You are good friends with everyone. If asked, you jump. But for some reason, you’re not moving up. You don’t get that promotion. You get paltry bonuses. 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. High Exposure people focus on projects, activities, and areas that have a high potential for visibility and exposure to the people that matter.

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.

Speaker: Cy Wakeman, M.S., CSP, President, Reality-Based Leadership

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.

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.

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? A beginner’s mindset is a Zen philosophy based on this logic: if you think you’re an expert, you’re more likely to dismiss the most obvious answer.

One of the things that I learned from my driver’s education instructor was never to look at a passerby on the sidewalk when you’re driving. Why? When you look at anything, other than the car in front of you, you’re inclined to steer toward it. This phenomenon is a well-known principle in dirt bike riding known as target fixation. Experienced bikers will caution you against looking at a potential hazard, such as a large rock, when riding, because you’ll unconsciously steer toward it.
