You likely remember Mickey Mouse and the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's a story that revolves around an apprentice of a great sorcerer who has grown tired from repetitive manual labor and decides to automate his chores with a bit of help from his departed master's hat. There are multiple interpretations of lessons from this story. The one most frequently cited is about the consequences of laziness, and getting involved in things you don't understand. But I'd argue that's missing the point.

The Bum Rush Strategy and Why It Fails 3:22

há 18 dias3:22

3:22

A new CEO enters the picture and has a laundry list of things to change. Or a new department head who wants to make a good impression and starts overhauling things. Sometimes things do need to change. But you can break more things than you fix with this approach.

Why Your "Clear" Communication Isn't Clear 3:21

As leaders, it's not enough to take the orders from on high and simply regurgitate them to our teams. We need to add value. We need to add insights and details. We need to help them understand how that initiative impacts them and how they can engage.

The Psychology of Momentum 2:38

Positive psychological momentum is a cognitive force that changes human behavior and performance. It enables people to achieve at a level not ordinarily possible.

Don't Conflate Strategy Tools with a Strategy 2:24

Because strategy is about charting a particularly distinct path to success, thinking counterintuitively in an environment of complexity, and leveraging your advantages with ways to amplify those advantages, it’s hard to put that into a structured formula.

The Difference Between Transactional and Relationship Building Answers 3:02

Ever notice how some conversations leave you with more questions than answers? That’s often the result of a reply instead of a response. While the two may sound similar, the difference is critical, especially in problem-solving, leadership, or collaborative work.

Can't Solve a Problem? Forget About It. 3:27

há 16 weeks3:27

3:27

It's so frustrating when you've got a problem you need to solve, and nothing's coming to you. No ideas that will help move things forward. Maybe you talk with others to try and gather perspectives. Or you dive into the Google rabbit hole to look at how others have solved the problem. But there's nothing. You want something new, something innovative. Not just the same old approach everyone else uses. But you've run dry. How can you get that spark of inspiration you need?…

Why Operationalizing Strategy Isn't About Communicating Proclamations 2:34

há 20 weeks2:34

2:34

Here’s a line in a corporate strategy document from a multi-billion-dollar client I was working with a few years ago: "We need to focus on better understanding the evolving needs of our current and future customers, and tailor solutions to meet those needs." What the hell? Isn’t that what the company should do as just a basic, daily, operating principle? That’s not a strategy, it’s a proclamation.…

Strategy Requires Creativity. Creativity Requires Time and Practice. 3:09

há 22 weeks3:09

3:09

Think back to when you were under the gun to come up with a ground-breaking idea or solution to a complex problem. How many of those instances produced something revolutionary ? Likely very few . However, too many companies expect employees to spend more time looking productive than being productive. So, with limited time, those appointed to develop a strategy often spend more time on business theater than on contemplating creative approaches to compete.…

Why Getting Unanimous Agreement is Bad for Strategy 1:40

há 25 weeks1:40

Leaders tend to strive for unanimous agreement – especially for large strategic decisions and situations where there’s a lot of uncertainty. If we have full commitment from our team, we must be making the right decision! Who wouldn’t want everyone to be on board? But unanimous agreement doesn’t mean there’s true agreement, no matter how many head nods you get in your meeting.…

Understanding The Types of Non-Customers 3:42

Your sales are down. You need an influx of new customers. Great! Often the first step is segmenting your prospects into groups, whether by industry, product type, service type, or some other categorization. Then the marketing blitz begins. Maybe you create a special offer on a product. Or a discount for new customers. Or just put up some billboards to build general brand awareness. But the needle doesn't move that significantly. Why?…

Does Your Company Have Mental Shrinkage? 2:54

Every industry has shrinkage in its way. Those without inventory have shrinkage in the form of innovation atrophy . This occurs when an employee is asked for their ideas and input, and invests time and effort working through them, only to learn it’s all for naught.

Why Strategy is Critical to Giving Goals a Structure 2:46

há 28 weeks2:46

2:46

Success is the result of choices -- choosing to do one thing over another. This means consciously not spending time, effort, or resources on certain things. A goal is simply a target. For example, say your goal is to double revenue growth in three years. Is that a clear goal? Will that goal create success? No, because there are no clear choices .…
