. For the past several months, I've been doing more work than usual with people who have been laid off from their jobs. I've listened to their stories of how the lay-offs occurred--usually in a brutally swift and cruel fashion--and been witness to their pain at having done all the right things, only to be told their services are no longer needed. It's heart-breaking, really, to see how they try to recover from this assault, accepting their disposability as inevitable in some ways. .

Alarm Clocks In Meetings Although I love my tech toys, you will never, ever, ever hear them in the workplace.

'I''ve been thinking and writing about communication lately.why it''s important, how it should be done, and how it overshadows many other organizational challenges that may initially be perceived as " the real problem." To that end, a big part of communication is accuracy. That means I shouldn''t be worrying about getting played , hearing a version of the story that the other person wants me to hear, or simply being fed the wrong information. ( I call that last one lying.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Bill Clinton. Oprah Winfrey. John Kennedy. When you think of such people, charisma is probably a word that comes to mind. Were they born with it? Or did they learn it?

Excessive use of positional power: I was interacting with a leadership expert recently when he said, “If you have to use your position to exert your power, you are not powerful.” Being at a certain position within organization means that you have a higher visibility which needs to be extended to others. Your position is an opportunity; an obligation to make a difference in how your team performs.

'Unless you’re in sales, goals can seem vague and unrealistic. Instead of a clear goal, like increase sales by 5 percent, vague goals take on the similarity of New Year’s resolutions — be a better team member, communicate more frequently, and focus on personal development. No wonder most resolutions get dropped before February. Instead of generalizing goals, get really specific.

'At our Workday Rising user conference in November I had the pleasure of talking with David Dobrin, an industry analyst who always seems to have an interesting idea to kick around. We were talking about the reporting that comes out of traditional business and financial systems and how it seems to generally disappoint. My view is that this is because these systems were built to do financial accounting (GAAP), and when we ask them to do more, they struggle.

BWD Magazine , Winter 2012-13. Fresh perspectives used to be "nice.". "Nice" like cotton candy. And rainbows. And songs about summertime. In business, a fresh perspective was "nice to have," rarely rising to the same "need to have" standards of, say, access to capital and inexpensive labor. But business today is different. Business today is a swift-moving current whose banks are littered with dis-intermediated industries and myopic strategies.

'Companies have to make lots of tough decisions when it comes to developing their people. When money is tight, it’s easy to focus on developing high-potential employees. After all, they’ll make a huge difference for your company in the future. But you don’t want to think too far ahead and forget about today.

Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

Hate working in teams? Sometimes, I do to. I don't have time to deal with the drama queen, the negative Ned and the overzealous employee who thinks he is the next Donald Trump. That's why I was a bit reassured to know I'm not alone, and there is hope. Teams don't have to be about as fun as a toenail fungus, if I just change my attitude and those in charge do a better job putting teams into motion.

In a competitive world obsessed with goals, people recommend that we should periodically review our performance. Performance appraisals in organizations are almost a necessary evil. The problem with focusing excessively on our ‘performance’ is that performance is always judged by others, by some external entity. When you constantly try to align yourself to external expectations, you dilute your own expression and voice.
