“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” Peter Drucker. Most would agree that time is the scarcest resource in any company, and for leaders of rapidly growing or transforming organizations, this may be especially true. With the day-to-day operations, extreme pressure from stakeholders and fires being put out every day, you may think time for reflection is impossible.

“I just don’t get how they think. Why do they __?

This is an important conversation to have because the value of People Analytics is lagging behind its potential.

A good manager is both a coach and a counselor. Generally, coaching should precede counseling. As a coach , a manager: identifies an employee's need for instruction and direction and this need is usually directly related to his or her performance or career goals. Coaching is collaborative. It relies on mutual, progressive goal-setting, personal feedback, and an ongoing, supportive relationship.

Learning by the old school method involved a lot of lecture, repetition, memorizing and a “one-size-fits-all” approach. It worked to a degree. But we have since learned how employees learn more effectively – specifically about the process of learning that leads to better understanding, lasting retention and measurable on-the-job beh

Nearly all of them raised their hands, which was no surprise. According to a study by BCG, 85% of companies have undertaken a transformation during the past decade. The same research found that nearly 75% of those transformations fail to improve business performance, either short-term or long-term.

David Aubrey/Getty Images. How often are management concepts subjected to recalls by the people who invented them? It is hard to think of a single case. If an industrial product like a car fails the manufacturer pulls it back, tests it and, if necessary, re-equips it. In case manufacturers grow careless, governments run periodic road safety tests. Management concepts, by contrast, operate in poorly regulated environments where failures are often brushed under boardroom or faculty carpets.

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.
