You're a middle or senior manager in an organization trying to hold on in these crazy times. And you just discovered you're shipping the wrong version of the product.

If you get rejected from a job application, you may question why you got declined. Have you ever thought that a lack of self-awareness could be the reason? Recruiters want to hire candidates with strong self-awareness because people who understand their own strengths and weaknesses are likely to cause less trouble in a team environment. When I attended consulting career workshops, recruiters from the Big 4 and management consulting firms frequently stressed the importance of being yourself in or

When I think about agile approaches to work, I think about how fast we can change and the cost of those changes. We can change the next decisions about the work because we finish the current work and release it. Multiple deliverables allow us to change what we do and what we plan next. That's why an agile approach with deliverables every day or week doesn't fit with some kinds of projects, such as events.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught the consulting industry anything, it’s the need for straight talking—and delivery. “Why do consultants have to make things so complicated?” It’s a complaint we’ve heard many times from clients, but this, from a private equity partner waving three proposals he’d received from strategy firms, was particularly pointed: “The up-front analysis is great, but the process they’re suggesting is the kind of thing we’d have expected before the crisis.

If you are at one of these schools you may find yourself at a disadvantage (to be honest you probably are) but people do still get into firms from non-target schools.

E pluribus unum is a Latin phrase meaning “out of many, one.” Most noteworthy, it implies people of honor working together for the common good. It is what the founding fathers hoped for. Congress adopted it as the motto of the United States with an act in 1782. However, the leadership of the US government is increasingly polarized. Gridlock rules their efforts.

The U.S. Capitol Riot of January 6 has been decried as an attack on democracy. Whether or not all agree with this, there is no question it was a most unfortunate event, leading to loss of life, injuries, and extensive property damage. It was grounded in what many identify as a dysfunctional political system. There is no question that the polarization of American politics has had a role in increasing animosity between the parties.
