Leaders, What Specialist Do You Call if Your Organization is Sick?
When you’re sick and don’t know what is wrong with you, you go to a doctor, right? And then what happens? The doctor may conduct an examination and asks you questions about the “symptoms” you are experiencing. She/he may ask for tests or take samples to try to determine the underlying cause or illness. When your car’s “maintenance needed” light comes on and you don’t know what is wrong you take it to someone who knows how to fix it, right? The vehicle maintenance speciali

Is the Media, and Social Media, Causing Unnecessary Fear?
When I was a kid in the 1960’s I remember seeing a sci-fi movie, The Fly. In the movie, a scientist invents a machine to transport matter, and decides to test it on himself. But when a fly gets inside the machine with him, his experiment takes a scary turn when the man and the fly mutate together. In another movie, The Wasp Woman, the owner of a cosmetics company turns to science to revive her failing business and when she's injected with a youth serum derived from queen wa

“Overqualified” Just Doesn’t Make Sense!
Over the last 3 years one of my clients has applied for more than 40 specific positions to which I felt he was more than qualified to do, and he was rejected (most of the time with a polite letter or e-mail), with some of the employers saying that he was “overqualified.” This is one of those things that just never has made sense to me. It’s kind of like telling someone that they make “too much money.” How is that possible? When I hear this kind of statement it makes me as

Don't Just Tell Them To Stop...
Scenario - You are observing a classroom of kindergarten students and see "Little Johnnie" coloring on the wall by the window. The teacher goes over and tells "Little Johnnie" to, "Stop coloring on the walls," but then doesn't give any direction after that. So, a few minutes later, "Little Johnnie" is now coloring on the door. The teacher again tells "Little Johnnie" to stop, saying, "Little Johnnie" I told you to stop coloring on the walls, and now you're coloring on the

When Loyalty vs. Integrity...
Every time we do a leadership class or training, we talk about traits of a good leader, and inevitably "integrity" and "loyalty" are almost always traits that are mentioned. In and by themselves, these are fantastic traits, not just for leaders, but as followers and team members. But these positive traits, when pitted against each other can become dysfunctional. Here's and example of one organization we worked with. Obviously, the real name of the organization has been cha
