In a hospital, lives are saved or lost long before patients’ treatment plans are written and implemented. Planning is Impersonal. Stefan Swanepoel advises leaders to “see the whole [chess] board” strategy-wise. Are you a leader tasked with planning for routine operations along with the response when routines are disrupted in ways big or small? Then you need to remember that success, in Swanepoel’s words, “isn’t just the next move – it’s what you do three, four, even 10 steps after that rea

The following is a guest piece by Stanford professor Dr. Leah Weiss. Modern leadership training is being taken over by a clever but misguided trend. One that’s filled with yoga rooms and entertainment-infused buffet lunches. It’s a train that many corporations are jumping onto, but the intent is often confused and therefore the execution is weak. The idea that organizations will successfully attract the best talent by peddling a laid-back compassionate culture is bound to fail.

Think about the last time you made a big purchase like a car, a major appliance or a mattress. With the possible exception of the car, there’s a pretty good chance you bought the product online after reading a lot of customer reviews. Why was that the case? Of course, one reason is that Amazon and other online retailers make it really easy to buy things online.

While there have been several shifts in the employment landscape throughout the last decade, none were perhaps as attention-grabbing as the increasing fleet of remote workers. Just a few years ago, the idea of being able to work right in the comforts of your humble abode would have seemed out of reach. Nowadays, however, it’s fairly common to find job postings that list “remote work” as a perk to encourage more applications.

Last month we had the opportunity to sit down (virtually) with Marcella Bremer to talk about her work in developing a positive culture in the workplace, her new book, Developing a Positive Culture , and the Positive Culture Academy (classes start April 2nd). Q. How long have you been focusing on a positive culture in the workplace? I’ve been working with culture for more than 20 years, but the focus on a positive culture dates from the last 5 years or so.

In my never-ending quest for more human leadership , I’ve discovered an essential truth: If you encounter a workplace filled with people who love their jobs, you’ll find a great leader who made that happen. Those kind of environments don’t just pop out of thin air – there needs to be a catalyst. And that catalyst is the leader. How does one build such a place, and thus, achieve leadership greatness?

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.

Photo credit: 123rf. Subaru took a bold move in the world of marketing cars a few years back. They added the word, “Love” to the front end of their slogan, “It’s what makes a Subaru”. It was bold because who uses the word “love” in the business world? Subaru sales were in a slump prior to adding that word. They increased significantly following the addition of the word “love”.

Getting everyone on the same page—that is, creating unity of thought and opinion—is a concept that’s highly valued by many leaders. It’s widely thought to make teams more productive and creative. But in my years of experience, that connection is far from reliable. If anything, just the opposite applies: getting everyone on the same page does more harm than good.

Too often, people tend to solve problems by taking two divergent directions: They think of an idea — and zip off in that direction with no real assessment or planning. Measure once, cut twice. They over-analyze their problem to death without taking action. Analysis-Paralysis. The hardest part of any initiative or project is usually getting everyone on-board - mentally and physically.

Savvy business leaders have seen firsthand the power of good communication with employees, and how it can drive business success from the inside out. While good internal communication gets the message out, great internal communication helps employees connect the dots between the business strategy and their role. In other words, when it’s good, it informs; when it’s great, it engages employees and moves them to action.
