There is an old saying that has always bothered me: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. If it's just a proverb to point out how important community is, I get it. However, it feels a bit static to me, as if someone can’t learn, develop and grow. As an avid mountain biker, this saying has never resonated with me because, let’s face it, being fast on a mountain bike is much more fun than being slow and I would much rather ride with my crew than ride alone...

How many times a day does this scenario happen in your organization?..

Agile project management methodologies are no longer confined to software development or technology companies. As rapid innovation creates the need for increased adaptability, organizations have implemented independent agile teams to provide greater flexibility, efficiency, and customer engagement. Agile teams manage projects in a series of short Sprints (typically a couple weeks) to produce a product or output. Sprints are iterative development steps toward the final delivery and create many opportunities for calibration with customers and other stakeholders. ..

Many people underestimate the complexity of being a good leader while simultaneously overestimating their own leadership skills. According to Psychology Today, “The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area.” The research in this area finds that people who are the least skilled in a particular area are most likely to overestimate their abilities. Skipping the psychological explanation of why this effect might happen,..

All projects and change efforts involve behavioral risk. They require people to start doing some things or to do things differently. When sustained behavior change is a requirement, those responsible for the new behaviors must feel compelled to do so, know specifically what to do, and know how to do it. They must also receive more positive reinforcement for those new behaviors than for any old habits or workarounds that compete with the new behaviors. It might sound simple, but as the number of people involved in the change effort grows, the risk grows...

In the book Measure of a Leader, the authors state, “The best predictors of leadership are found in the behaviors of the leader’s followers.” Measuring a leader by the success of the people he or she leads is a powerful indicator of that person’s true leadership...

It is quite likely that even the best MBA programs in the world are missing out on preparing their candidates with the one thing that will ensure they enter the real world with proven, effective leadership skills; the one thing that guarantees, if applied correctly and consistently, sustainable, positive results. That one thing is a clear understanding of the science of human behavior and how to apply its principles and methods successfully in the workplace. To be clear, this doesn’t just apply to MBA candidates; it extends to anyone in a management position...

Based on the positive response to my blog on Increasing Meaningful Behaviors, I thought it worthwhile to extend the discussion. As you now know, values can play an important role in our lives and help guide us through the environmental “noise” we interact with on a daily basis. Without deliberately using your core values as a way to find direction or purpose in life, the world around you may be actively encouraging behaviors you find inconsistent with who you want to be. In our current social and economic envir..
