February 2017

• Organizations: The Enemy Within (1/3). There is no ‘war on talent’
• End of week Summary: 3 on Leadership
• Don’t trust armchair critics, reformers, and broadcasters of leadership who don’t know what a dry cleaner is
• ‘If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there’. But if you are stuck deciding, that place is worse than any other.
• It’s the journey, not the milk and honey.
• Rewarding collaboration by reinforcing individual contributions is management’s decaffeinated espresso: good taste, no effect.
• Corporate brands are behavioural. They have always been, but are not often spoken about.
• There is a colossal world replay of the Asch’ conformity experiment, and you are part of it.
• Sunday’s little refresh: Building Remarkable Organizations
• We must resist the tripadvisorization of human relationships in the organization.
• Speak like an organizational expert. Actually to fool everybody is not that difficult
• If you need to parachute help, send builders, not problem solvers
• What is your world view? Surely, this must be the new greeting. (Alt-greeting?)
• Corporate initiatives are born and die. And the reasons are seldom lack of goals.
• End of Week Summary: Backstage Leadership
• There is always room for uniqueness, even in the most standardised management process. What would it take?
• The organizational structure vs what is really going on. Or the loneliness of an organizational chart.
• Solidarity as a form of organizational culture is both a soft label and a secret weapon.
• Five fast tracks to hopelessness in the organization. Little cure afterwards.
• Clues to mobilize people inside the corporate tent, come from outside that tent.
• Where is home? A serious management question to employees
• From protest to action, from voice to action. On TV and in the organization.
