GPS for the Office: How Getting Lost Can Help You Find Your Way

I thought we were the last people in North America to get a GPS, but based on how many are for sale this Christmas there are still a few stalwart holdouts. I was a reluctant convert – I couldn’t see the benefits of a GPS when we could use a map or download precise directions from Google. And, for the most part I’m driving familiar routes. nnBut my resolve weakened late this summer and now we have one. I am officially a fan – I think they are wonderful, albeit with cav

The Economy May Be Bad…But What (Or Who) Is Really Sinking Your Team?

I had a fascinating and eye opening experience this last week. A vendor we’ve been working with, who is wonderful and has always been eager to be helpful…was not her normal self. I’ll spare you the details, except to say that here’s what I noticed: her energy was off, she was short with me and tense, and when I asked her to help me with something – that I knew she wanted to help me with – she said “it’s out of my control, my power has been taken away.” I lef

If Developing Leaders is the Question, Training May Not Be the Answer

That is a very strange title to read from a guy who has designed and delivered training for the last 25 years, and whose company provides a wide range of workshops, both inside organizations and in public settings. But the title is accurate. Training may not be the answer, and it most assuredly isn’t the whole answer. So if you are responsible for developing leaders in your organization (and if you are a leader, this is part of your responsibility), or if you are looking fo

The Big Key to Organizational Decision Making

Workshops and lectures about decision making center around tools, data and processes. The thinking goes that to make the best decisions, the best data must be available and properly used. And since we often have lots of data, we need tools for parsing, analyzing, understanding and displaying that data. These tools and approaches are important and can bring significant clarity to the decisions that must be made on big projects and complex problems. The challenge with this trai

Leadership in a Minute – Just “One” Thing

People often ask me what the secret "short cut" to personal and leadership success is. What is ONE thing they could DO to start moving in the right direction? If they were to do just one thing, what would I tell them?rn rnForced to pick ONE, I would say it’s about their "being"; how they "show up". Asked to elaborate, I'd pick three: being present, being congruent with their personal values, and leading their energy. Notice, ironically, that the "one" thing has surprisingly

Playing with Possibility

In my pursuit of leaders who play well, I happened upon one who literally plays well every day as a musician and conductor of the Boston Philharmonia. I am entranced by Benjamin Zander's philosophy of looking for possibility in every situation and in every person we meet. His book, The Art of Possibility , written with his wife Rosamund describes how leadership entails being "the relentless architect of the possibility that others can be." The book is now a well-worn favorite
