Year Of The Woman

The end of the year is always a good time for reflection and appreciation. And here’s one of the things I’m thankful for in 2019: It’s been called the Year of the Woman. In a year that has been so divisive and contentious, my heart was lifted when I saw the 2019 Forbes list of […]

Leadership Lessons From the Deep End of the Pool

Have you ever had the feeling that just when you think you’ve tamed a bad behavior, it rears its ugly head in unexpected ways? I had this experience not long ago when I was attending a water aerobics class. It all sounds so innocent and lovely… doing water aerobics outside in the California sunshine. People […]

Leader of the Future – Part 2 Do You Have the “GWC?”

Are you a doer-manager? Are you the person who keeps doing many of the tasks that you did before you were promoted to manager, director, VP or even to the C-suite? Because we all know: no one can do the job as well as you… it takes too long to train someone… it’s easier and […]

Is it me? Or is there an epidemic of people not wanting to be accountable? Am I the only one who hears people complaining about how everyone else is not being accountable? Whether it’s at work, at home, with our elected officials or our friends – people seem to be quick to blame anyone and/or […]

Courage – Is It A Thing Of The Past?

We hear a lot about being tough, being strong, doubling down and standing your ground.  With all this tough talk, I began to wonder about “courage” and if courage is a thing of the past. And then Senator John McCain and Aretha Franklin both passed away about a week apart. Their funeral services coincided and […]

Disruption: The Latest Approach to Change

Flavor of the Month The latest management Flavor of the Month: DISRUPTION! We’re hearing a lot about people being disrupters, disrupting technology, disrupting social norms, disrupting HR, disrupting systems and processes… We’ve been lean. We’ve been agile. We’ve been highly effective. We’ve been 6-Sigma’d. Now we’re being disrupted. ACK. Frankly, this concept feels worse than […]

How a Culture of Scarcity Impacts Employee Engagement

We’ve all heard it: “It’s time to tighten our belts. We need to reduce waste, cut costs and eliminate unnecessary spending.” I remember how a former CEO used to announce every January that it was time for the “Austerity Program,” as a way to cut costs.

Corporate Culture and Integrity

What is corporate culture? How do you define it? And what difference does it make? The informal definition that I like the best is: “How we do things around here.” You can have your fancy core values plastered on the walls or hanging from a badge on your pocket. But most employees have to look […]
