I may be the only executive educator who actually measures whether the participants in my leadership development courses actually do what I teach--and then measures if they are seen as becoming more effective leaders. In 2009 Marshall's friend the late CK Prahalad was ranked #1 and Marshall was ranked #14. Great question. Life is good.

I also like Hamel and Prahalad three-question test for helping clients determine if one of their capabilities is actually a core competency : Does the capability make a disproportionate contribution to the ultimate customer value, and/or does it allow the company to deliver value to customers in an appreciably more efficient way?

Don’t be fooled by the title, the authors do NOT offer research support for their claim that leadership can make folks smarter. I love this stuff, but many of you will be able to see that there is nothing here that your favorite authors on leadership and organizational learning (e.g. Leadership book review'

The fact is, after being a huge success in a career that has brought benefits like leadership, relationships, contribution, meaning and happiness, playing mediocre golf with a bunch of old men at the country club isn't really that great. In 2009 Marshall's friend the late CK Prahalad was ranked #1 and Marshall was ranked #14.

I list these below as a guide for anyone — from bloggers, to academics, to strategy consultants — looking to produce world-class thought leadership. So what did Hamel and Prahalad add? Hamel and Prahalad combined the old resource view with an emphasis on differentiation, made popular in the 1980s by Michael Porter.

Prahalad's 1989 HBR article "Strategic Intent" brought about a discontinuous shift in my career — from a professor of accounting to a researcher on strategy and innovation. Hamel and Prahalad have an entirely different point of view. But according to Prahalad and Hamel, firms should set unrealistic goals, not realistic goals.

These were great companies with top-notch leadership, solid management processes, and access to the best and brightest strategists. Prahalad used to recommend that a company's strategy should be developed by its thirty-year-old rookies instead of its veterans: The new guard will be more vested in the future than the past.

Prahalad in their HBR piece — Strategic Intent. On the other hand, we have quarterly objectives we pay attention to, but these shorter term tactics can lack inspiration. What becomes clear is that we are missing a directional document that is both inspirational and concrete. We need — using the language from Gary Hamel and C.K.

It may be possible to create alignment among the leadership team, but that consensus will break down once the individual members return to their working groups. There, they will find that they are confronted with local majorities opposed to the global leadership view and, in time, even leaders will conform. Gary Hamel and C.K.

Developing assessment and measurement criteria early in the process will be critical to the collaborative effort's ability to stay on the same page, and give the design team the client leadership they need. But they're a great way to connect with your design team and initiate the collaborative process with promise.
