What You May Be Missing That is Holding You Back From Success

That “Culture Thing”

My concern is that the companies are fixing the wrong issue under an umbrella of a “culture thing.”  When things go wrong we want to fix the cause of the problem, not its manifestation.  The root cause of employees not […]

Governors as Leaders- Leadership Insight

As a retired Alaska oil industry executive, I have been involved to varying degrees in several of the pipeline projects with as many as four different governors.  The question Rhonda asked me is should a governor be a “ranch boss” […]

Organization Transformation

“Nothing endures but change” is a quote attributed to Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, who was active around 500 BCE. Change has been a constant in my entire 40-year career, and I have hired and worked with many consulting companies that […]

GM Leadership Lesson Update

I continue to monitor the evolving General Motors situation.  This past week CEO Mary Barra testified before a Congressional Committee regarding the recall of millions of vehicles due to a faulty ignition switch that was the purported cause of dozens […]

Something Went Wrong With The Process

In a video to employees on March 17, 2014, GM CEO Mary Barra said, “Something went wrong with the process and terrible things happened.”  She acknowledged mistakes that led GM to wait nearly a decade before fixing a defective ignition […]
