At the end of the video, I invited viewers to ask me questions so that I could help them – and you – prepare and conduct a successful exercise. While I received several questions, there was one in particular that came from both professionals and students.

This is a terrible situation for any organization to find itself in, but to make matters worse, United showed no semblance of compassion or remorse for their abused customer and, as a result (so far at the time of this writi

Archimedes once said: “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” With the right support and some smart leverage, we’re all capable of moving the world—both in our personal lives and our businesses. But I’ve come to realize that we also have an obligation to become that “lever” for our clients, propelling them to new heights of personal and professional growth.

A recent New York Times article on how Uber is using various insights from behavioral economics to push, or nudge, its drivers to pick up more fares — sometimes with little benefit to them — has generated quite a bit of criticism of Uber. It’s just one of several stories of late that have cast the company in a poor light.

If you’ve been in management for any length of time, the phrase “And any other duties as assigned,” is one you know. Whenever I ask one of my audiences or leadership training teams, “What’s that line at the bottom of most position descriptions?” invariably the knowing participants start to chuckle and say, “And any other duties as assigned!” That phrase conveys feelings of power to many managers yet most don’t understand it or apply it correctly.

Digital look-alikes often cramp creativity and all but eliminate the humanity of shared interactions. Hardware solutions are also limiting and, of course, expensive and immobile. In an increasingly digital and remote-first world, it’s important for us to select tools and processes that allow us to mitigate if not eliminate the above problems.
