The unpleasant task of delivering bad news is a common challenge for my clients: the CEO with bad news for their Board, the executive with bad news for their CEO, the investor with bad news for their LPs, the leader at any level with bad news for their employees. No one enjoys this onerous task, but over the years I've seen leaders make a bad situation worse by trying to avoid or delay the inevitable discomfort.

The monumental battle over remote work is heating up this summer as more traditionalist business leaders are demanding that their employees come to the office much or all of the time. Google maps workers, asked to come back to the office full-time recently, fought back with a petition and threats of a strike, and won a reprieve of 90 days. Elon Musk demanded that all Tesla staff come to the office full-time, resulting in Tesla staff getting recruited by other companies.

Skills-based hiring is coming to the fore. Harvard Business School analysts suggest that "only 27% of the pivot to skills-based approaches in the hiring processes are "cyclical resets" or short-term responses to the recruitment crisis, while the majority (63%) are "structural resets." In fact, hiring based on skills is five times more predictive of future performance than hiring by education.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

CEOs of large and mid-market companies have invested lots of time and money in the past several years reaching outside of their own outfits for innovative ideas and people, then bringing them under the tent in various ways: corporate venture arms, accelerators, incubators, stakes in startups, new partnerships and outright acquisitions.
