One theme continues to emerge—change at breakneck speed has become the norm in business today and it’s overwhelming our workforces. Workplace environments are reaching a breaking point.

Stone buildings without mortar won’t stand long. A great exercise program is hamstrung without the right diet. Golfers who don’t practice their short game will never bring down their handicap. Cutting corners in its various forms may get some things done faster, easier, or less expensively, but will more than likely end up costing you in those ways in the long run.

Redwine probably restated the obvious. The reason people restate the same principle is that because of its obvious misinterpretation or rather lack of interpretation.

During my last few engagements and following recent trends, I have been observing two worlds in which I co-exist at odds. The world of empiricism and hard sciences and the world of human sciences or psychology. The so-called ‘tree hugger’ (as it is sometimes dismissively called) and the unwavering pragmatist. As someone who has a strong background in both of these, this is not only an extrinsic observation but also an intrinsic one.

As a leader, by most any standard, you have achieved a level of success. After all, not everyone gets promoted, or perhaps even multiple times, and now has the responsibilities and opportunities that come with leading others.

Holidays are rarely all they’re cracked up to be. The promise of endless golden beaches and glorious sunny days. A band of happy people just waiting to share the good times with you… . When you’re planning and booking it all looks so enticing, but it too often leads to disappointment – the picture-postcard slice of heaven little more than a marketing mirage.

The talk highlighted the problems/limitations in the approaches to scaling Agile in organizations that react to increasing complexity by mass manufacturing or mass engineering an organization’s design through cascading layers of processes and frameworks.

Many managers see the performance appraisal process as nothing more than an unnecessary corporate exercise forced upon them by human resource. The performance appraisal process seeks to evaluate the performance of employees in relation to the projects that they have contributed and setting future performance expectations. However, lately, the performance appraisal has been getting a lot of bad publicity.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

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.

Strategies and People Need Meaning. A meaningful company mission, your fundamental purpose, helps to create broad organizational commitment and drive peak performance. Corporate strategies without a meaningful purpose to pursue can lead to goals that are temporary and unfulfilling. If you and your teams do not understand the greater reason why , you are missing a critical ingredient of a high performance culture.
