    leadabove wrote a new post, Beyond #MeToo. The REAL Call to Action From the Red Carpet 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    #MeToo and its inciting, insidious revelations are out of the box. Way out. And now, the Hollywood-born movement has fired up a national (global?) demand for equality, civility, humanity, and basic [bleeping] […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, The ONE Question to Ask in 2018 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    We’re almost at the finish line. 2018 is well within sight. How are you feeling?

    Full disclosure: I’m a little tired. A little road-weary; spent.

    By now I will boldly assume we’ve all witnessed the rise and fall of @amyjcuddy and her research on power posing. According to the New York Times, “…a replication of her 2010 study [on power posing]…had […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, The REAL Problem With Performance Management… and Why We Have it All Wrong 6 months, 1 week ago

    Performance Management as a practice has really been pummeled in recent years. Forced rankings, bell curves, and annual reviews… nearly all of its elements have been demonized, thrown to the curb by myriad p […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, The What, Why, and How of the Hunch 7 months, 2 weeks ago

    Quick question: the last time you heard an inspirational quote around failure – whether fail forward or fast, learn from failure – did you kind of roll your eyes?

    It’s OK. You can say yes. I can’t really s […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, The Fiery, Five-Alarm, Hate-Fueled Case For Diversity in Business. Now. 8 months ago

    I don’t care what your politics are. Not today. Fall where you may fiscally or socially, wherever in the world you call home, today you see hate. You see it empowered, fracturing communities, stealing […]

    3 common situations…why it matters and what to do about it…

    I had lunch recently with a colleague who used this delightful turn of phrase: we all need to “check the frequency we’re resonating at.” […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, Unsexy. It’s the New Black. 9 months, 2 weeks ago

    Working with leaders that shoot for the moon is inspiring, and frankly just fun. I have all the time in the world to talk about building capabilities for innovation, risk-taking, learning from failure – all the s […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, Be Your Own Wizard. 10 months, 1 week ago

    Allow me to (very gently!) beat a dead horse. As my long-time readers well know, it’s my assertion that – for too many of us – work simply isn’t working.

    leadabove wrote a new post, Opportunity Cost. Is It What’s Crushing Our Potential? 11 months ago

    As a person who took “Econ for Psych Majors” in college (with all due respect to my econ-minded psych-majoring compatriots), even I can say the concept of “opportunity cost” was intuitive to me from the get […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, Head in the Sand? Just Might Be Your Competitive Advantage… 12 months ago

    We’ve all seen the image of the ostrich. We all know the metaphor. Whether the story we’re telling is one of apathy or ignorance, rarely does the ending involve the prince and the wedding. The ostrich becomes […]

    leadabove wrote a new post, Tiny House Thinking… Why Your Business Needs It 1 year, 1 month ago

     

    Is mine the only family recently addicted to HGTV’s Tiny House Hunters? I mean, families of four + two dogs living in 200 square feet? Crazy! But a little bit amazing…?

    If you’re afraid it’s gonna get graphic, breathe deeply – you have my word I’ll keep this clean.
