Not sure how to survive an ever changing business world? Darwin might have the answers! The business world is often referred to as a brutal battlefield where only the fittest survive. Companies like Kodak and Nokia are often referred to as the dinosaurs that failed to adapt to the changing environment. If you think about it, there is actually a striking similarity between how species evolve to survive in nature and how companies and professionals survive in the business environment.

Being a manager means taking on more responsibilities and also letting go of others. However, as much as we know delegation is a good thing – we still struggle to do it well. Delegation provides your team with learning opportunities, development projects, balances workload and gives room for new insights. As a manager though you may be reluctant to overload people, to let go of tasks that you enjoy, or to invest the time in showing someone the ropes.

We all face setbacks, stress and difficulties in life. A friend of our family returned home early from a business trip one weekend, and found his spouse in bed with another man. Consequently, he was stunned, and eventually got a divorce. Soon after this, he found out he had cancer and began an intense treatment. In addition, he missed a lot of time at work because of his health, where he ended up being re-organized into a lay off.

Why does marketing often feel like a struggle, a challenging and not very fun to do? I want to suggest that it’s mostly because of the stories you tell yourself about marketing. If you haven’t noticed, you are always telling yourself stories. And the first thing to notice about a story is that it’s not an accurate representation of reality. A story is a narrative expression that is, at best, an approximation of reality.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the cult/culture of elitism. The entire premise of elitism is hierarchy. Those who are “elite" are presumed to be better than those that are not. Those who aren’t “elite” often feel "less than” their counterparts. An Ivy League degree makes you more elite. A larger bank account makes you more elite. A more successful career makes you more elite.

I'm not a fan of measuring velocity. Velocity is a point-in-time measure of capacity. That means that when things change for the team or in the code, the velocity often changes. (See Velocity is Not Acceleration.). Instead, I like to measure cycle time. Cycle time is the entire time it takes a team to finish something on their board. Cycle time indicates how much the team collaborates together and how small the stories are.

One way to project situational gravitas is to establish your credibility early in a relationship. This is especially the case when you’re giving a speech to an audience that doesn’t know you, or you’re interacting with prospects or clients that don’t know you. Because no prior relationship exists, you’re starting from scratch. In these situations, you want to figure out what about your background qualifies you to be speaking to your audience, and why they should bother listening to you.
