Few companies have a clear idea of where strategy making ends and execution begins. As a result they develop strategic plans where they’re not required and fail to develop strategic plans where they are. To help prevent this happening to your Graham Kenny offers a few dos and don’ts: (1) Don’t develop strategic plans for functions; (2) Confine “strategy” to the business level; (3) Keep strategy and action separate; and (4) Be careful how you use the terms “strategy” and “strategic.

CrowdStrike’s president accepting an award for his company’s “epic fail” was good PR. The tricky part: Talking with teams about what didn’t work. If somebody gave you an award for your biggest failure, would you go to the ceremony to accept? What would you do with the trophy? At a cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas earlier this month, CrowdStrike President Michael Sentonas took the stage to accept the “Most Epic Fail” award on behalf of his company.

Previous research has found that new ideas are seen as risky and are often rejected. New research suggests that this rejection can be due to people’s lack of shared criteria or reference points when evaluating a potential innovation’s value. In a new paper, the authors find that the more novel the idea, the more people differ on their perception of its value.

The world of work has fundamentally changed. The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.

People-pleasing behaviors significantly impact individuals in leadership roles. A study from the University of Zurich links people-pleasing tendencies to increased stress levels and decreased well-being. As an executive leadership coach, I’ve witnessed people-pleasing tendencies holding leaders back from reaching their full potential. The desire for others to like and accept them leads to problematic behaviors, such as avoiding conflict, compromising values, and taking on excessive work.

As a first-time manager, you might be unsure of how much autonomy to give your team members. The proliferation of remote and hybrid work makes striking a balance between over- and undermanaging even trickier. Without regular, in-person oversight, micromanagement has increased for some leaders while others are too hands-off, leaving their direct reports to fend for themselves.

New research in behavioral science has revealed that cynical thinking stands in the way of success in the workplace. Cynics, it turns out, earn less money, report lower job satisfaction, and are less likely to be elevated to leadership positions. That’s because success is not the winner-take-all battle that cynics believe it to be. Cynicism, in fact, can bleed workplaces of creativity, openness, and morale, and the bottom line — whereas the people who succeed at work tend to so by building trust
