In Part 1 , I said that product roadmaps are not like car roadmaps. But even car roadmaps showed places of interest—options—for the driver and passengers. If I stretch that analogy a little, managers need to see where we are predictable for the next bit of time, and the options we see for the future. We need to update those options as we learn more.

As I waited to present to a group of male CEOs at a conference, I listened to several men complaining about how hard it was for them to attract a diverse workforce and integrate them into their current culture.

Most people think of digital transformation in relation to the application of latest technologies. And they’re right, but only to some extent. You can’t put new wine into old bottles, so whatever sophisticated technologies companies implement, without transforming people, culture, and processes in your company, even the most advanced of them will become a waste of money. .

Yesterday, as predicted, the temperatures and humidity in Cleveland began to soar. We should not have been surprised, after all it is mid-June, and these kinds of temperatures are to be expected. And while it seems that summer is just coming out of the starting gate and there are months of heat yet to enjoy, I was surprised at the sudden power outage that occurred late afternoon in the intense heat of the day.

Results-driven leaders have a bad habit of working harder and longer hours. Hard work isn't bad, but isolation is hazardous. If achievement-oriented leaders are not careful, their drive can limit career opportunities, professional success, and the joy of living. In an increasingly uncertain world, executives need high-quality relationships with followers, but also peers, and others outside the workplace.
