When I was in school, my strongest subjects were in STEM — science and math specifically. In high school, I was required to study history. In college, I was required to study philosophy or some other humanities subject. At the time, I was slightly annoyed that I had to “waste” time studying these subjects instead of what I really wanted to study. My original thinking was, “What’s the point of studying what happened in the past when today’s world is all about the future and where it is goin

We often think that finishing a story from the backlog is “just” tactical. However, the more often we deliver in short feedback loops, the more often we can make strategic decisions. Finishing a story creates a new decision point, for both the product and the corporate strategy. The more often we iterate strategically, the more we exhibit business agility.

Every project team wants to make their next initiative a resounding success, but sometimes the wheels start coming off while things are still in the planning stage. Incomplete processes and missed steps can make it difficult to develop a workable plan and then execute on that plan. One area that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves during plan development is the estimation of how long tasks will take to complete and when they’ll be done.

I recently received, what seemed to look like, a robotext on my phone from one of the political parties asking me to participate in a zoom call featuring a representative from the State Board of Education. Since I had never received such a request before, and this one piqued my curiosity, I figured they wanted money. Since they were soliciting me, I figured why not text back and see if I get a response?

Sometimes it is easy to spot the difference between a leadership bad habit and a good one. Take communication. While ineffective leaders avoid difficult conversations and blame their teams when issues don't go away, effective leaders know their responsibility is to lean in with vulnerability. Years ago, I was making a succession planning and leadership development presentation to the board of directors.

If 2% of a population takes coordinated action, it makes a difference. If 5% do, it can change everything. This simple math also means that most people rarely do anything. Perhaps they don’t care. Perhaps they’re afraid to speak up and commit. And perhaps it’s simply easier to go along for a free ride. Of course it hurts when friends and colleagues we thought we could count on shirk and hide.

There’s no denying the integral role a strong digital strategy plays in a brand’s success. The thoughtful use of digital technologies can bring great competitive advantages: better customer experience, improved employee experience, and long-term bottom-line benefits.

This is a great excuse for racing to the bottom. Corporations with power go ahead and take advantage of customers. “Well, if we don’t do it, a competitor will.” The public markets don’t require companies to throw out their principles to succeed. In fact, they reward companies that do the opposite. People exploit vulnerabilities in systems, or cut a little close to one edge or another.
