But it can be a challenge to walk the walk across all your organizational groups. The benefits of that consistency are numerous, and while it might take a little extra time to build in a larger group of stakeholders into the communication process (that would be your L&D team), the lasting impact is that of your e

Part of what makes an agile transformation difficult is the cultural change required. That’s what makes an agile transformation a journey. A client said to me, “I want the agile. The agile is good stuff: faster delivery of smaller stuff that we can get revenue for. I want it now. How fast can I get it?” This manager is not stupid. He’s using terms that might sound funny to some of us, “the agile,” but he’s got the right idea.

Like most who find their way into medical school I was the prototypical student. I finished at the top of my class in high school, then as a pre-medical student I navigated all the pre-requisites for applying to medical school (i.e. standardized test, personal statement, shadowing, research, etc.).

Brandon Lyon/Getty Images. At some point, every leader has dealt with a person — or, worse, a group of people — who has lost motivation. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? As much as we’ve been there ourselves, sometimes it’s hard to sympathize with others who are disengaged from work and unproductive as a result. Sometimes, we view their unhappiness as a bug in their mental makeup — and, therefore, we think they should be able to suck it up and snap out of it.

HBR STAFF/Caiaimage/Robert Daly/Getty Images. Organizations spend over $100 billion annually to improve employee engagement. Yet according to Gallup , only 13% of employees are engaged — and disengaged employees cost U.S. companies $450 billion to $550 billion per year in lost productivity.
