Let's Grow Leaders
APRIL 4, 2017
If you’re an executive (or aspiring to be one) this time I’m writing for you. Not my usual M.O., I usually write for your teams (and how to help them deal with you ;-) But today, I write to you. Why? Because when senior leaders practice winning well behaviors, the culture shifts that much faster– and results not only go up, they stay up– and teams feel excited about what they’re up to.

“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson~. Damion’s goal was to become a great leader. He’d been under some mediocre leaders and wanted to do a better job than that. He looked at other leaders in the company and got some ideas of leadership skills from them. But he felt there was more than what he was seeing.

I tell my husband tidbits about the kids because part of my strategy to get him to relocate to Swarthmore is to keep him feeling close to us. I tell him my younger son is winning more on his video game than ever before because the Internet we get from living above Dunkin Donuts is so much faster than on the farm. Is he connected to us? I don’t know.

I see how it feels so easy to just say no to kids. Having kids is irrational. They do not make us happier. They disrupt the halcyon days of early marriage. And they cost a lot of money. Pretty much every twentysomething says, at some point, that they don’t want kids, and in 97% of those cases that twentysomething is delusional. Of course there is a biological urge to have kids – but it turns out it’s actually a drive to have sex , not so much to have a baby.

For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.
