W E ARE BORN with a desire to engage. We want to learn—to relate and interact. We want to connect. But over the years, depending on our upbringing, our schooling, and our work, our desire to engage gets suppressed. It gets covered up. Our job as leaders is to uncover and rekindle that child-like desire to engage with others and our environment. We can’t create engagement, but we can uncover it.

I F YOU WANT TO GROW your career, Wharton Lecturer and EMBA Career Director Dawn Graham recommends in her book Switchers , that you “ continually put yourself in situations where you’re the least qualified person in the room.” That is, “put yourself into professional situations where you have some foundational knowledge, but are still a novice.” Not only do you grow from the experience but you’ll have a roomful of experts to learn from.

There are days when I long for my runs with Lok the Vizsla to be easy. I don’t want to feel like I taxed my body or pushed myself further than I thought I could go. I want my runs to be convenient.

Once a tangible business goal is set for a team and an enterprise, it’s a natural tendency for leadership to jump right into the business of hitting it – in other words, massing the effort and “push” needed to achieve what biz book author Jim Collins called the “ Flywheel Effect “ (in one of my all-time fav business books, “Good to Great” ).

In the VUCA world in which we now operate many businesses have become more agile, networked and team centric in order to respond to the challenges of more competition and digital disruption. However, up to now many of these approaches have been implemented in functional areas like sales and operations, and the C-suite has been left unchanged. However, this is all about to change.

O RGANIZATIONS get sluggish. They get clunky and myopic. They fall into patterns of inertia. And, in time they fail. But there are signs. In Transforming the Clunky Organization , Samuel Bacharach takes on the two fundamental sources of organizational inertia —the tendency to be clunky and the tendency to be myopic. The clunky organization is characterized by a state of organized anarchy.

It is always fascinating to engage with a cultural change process, and a recent encounter was no exception. Some three years ago, I developed a new business strategy for a not-for-profit organisation which, faced with on-going austerity measures in the UK, wished to focus on the longer-term on sustainability and income generation. They are a relatively small organisation with a regional reach regarding members, clients, and corporate donors.

Guest post by Pratima Rao Gluckman : My daughter once told me, “Mom, I am awesome. I am good at math. I run fast. I am better than my brothers. Right?” As I looked into her darling eyes as she was desperately seeking validation, I thought, “This is where the problem lies.” It’s cute when a four-year-old thinks she is better than the rest. And yes, I want to encourage her to think that way, because it will build her self-esteem (as this is important for girls).

Art Jones was the best supervisor I’ve ever seen up close. More than 20 years ago, I spoke at his retirement ceremony. Art retired as a Sergeant from the San Leandro Police Department after more than 30 years. During the time he was a Sergeant, he supervised and trained every one of the police officers who were senior to him in rank on the day he retired.

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.

A friend suggested I write an article on delegation. It took me a couple of weeks before I figured out who to delegate the task to and I decided to do it myself. There have been many articles written on delegation. In writing this, I am thinking what can I add to what has already been said? The basics: Who, What, Why, When and How. Many people stop at the What and wonder why they do not get the results they want.

I see the evidence of “everything begins with the leader” in the individuals and teams that work in the organizations when I listen to them describe t
