If you want better insights, ask clearer questions. Particularly during times of uncertainty and change, one of the easiest ways to know what’s really going on is to (1) get clarity about what you don’t know and (2) ask your team some courageous questions. Courageous questions are specific, vulnerable questions that get right to the root of the matter.

Lead from Within

If they’re being honest, most leaders don’t think they need personal development. They believe that what got them where they are will keep them there, and that the only things that really matter are how well they perform and how much profit they bring in. In my work as an executive leadership coach, I regularly work with very skilled leaders who don’t see the value of personal development.

The number of people moving outside their country of birth has grown rapidly in recent decades, with current estimates suggesting there are around 281 million migrants in the world.

A common concern surrounding automation in recent years is that it will result in widescale job losses as the work previously done by people is taken over by technology. Of course, the reality doesn’t really support this narrative, and indeed, companies that invest in technology often end up employing more people as a result of the improvement in their fortunes heralded by the investment.

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.

One senses that cities have an uneasy relationship with the gentrification of districts, as while the improvement in these areas is almost certainly welcome, there are also obvious concerns that the rising house prices that accompany the changes will be pricing poorer residents out of the region.
