I hope to be old. Someday. Old enough that no one at any age could look at me and call me a whippersnapper. Nobody calls me a whippersnapper now, but they could. When I finally reach those platinum years, what will I know that I wish I had known back when I was running my consulting firm? Fortunately, I’m able to get a glimpse at the answer to that question.

It was 5:45am on a Wednesday in June this year. I had a flight out, but it wasn’t the one I should have been on. I had a chance the day before to go big and love someone extravagantly, but I didn’t finish strong. I exhibited the one dark downside of thinking like a consultant: paralysis by analysis. Sometimes, being a consultant is the worst. The way I view the world often paralyzes me.

Focus Monday, August 01, 2016. The vote in favor of “Brexit,” Britain’s exit from the EU, has created significant uncertainty for the UK, the EU, and global economies. The arrangements for the UK’s departure and the terms and timing of the eventual exit are unclear. Resolving the situation will likely take several years. There might be little immediate change—but it is safe to assume that political and economic uncertainty will reign for some time.

This week’s reflection point: When was the last time you updated the photos on your web site and for your marketing collateral? I find it funny when viewing peoples’ sites that the photos used are nearly vintage ones taken at the time when the light bulb was invented. Okay, not really that old, but definitely not recent! I am often asked what are the best ways to take new photos.

One of the very first steps in implementing a crisis-ready culture is to first define what a crisis is and means to your organization.

Take a look: Do you have a crisis management question you’d like me to answer?

To say that school reforms are a contested area is something of an understatement. There are some strongly held opinions in education about what improves a school, such as raising teaching standards and reducing class sizes. Our findings challenge some of these beliefs. To understand how to turn around a failing school quickly, using as few resources as possible, we studied changes made by 160 UK academies after they were put into remedial measures by the Office for Standards in Education, Child

Focus Thursday, August 04, 2016. In the global debate about value-based health care, the lion’s share of attention has focused on the developed world. It makes sense. The new emphasis on value is, in large part, a response to the failure of conventional cost-control initiatives to stop or slow the rapid growth in health care costs. And the vast majority of those costs—roughly three-quarters of global expenditures on health care—are in the developed world.

Vincent Tsui for HBR. Tolstoy asserted that “ one can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love.” Freud said, “l ove and work… work and love, that’s all there is.” Love and work. Tolstoy and Freud suggest we need to do both. I suggest we need to do both at the same time. For centuries, outside the business context, we have heard about the power and virtue of love.
