One of the things I noticed when Covid first grounded us was how quickly and well our leadership team adapted to remote meetings. Over the past weeks, several major companies have announced various return-to-office policies.

There’s no time like the present to set goals. Here’s a framework I use for myself and those I manage or advise. I generally try to classify projects into three levels of priority before I consider adding resources to anything on deck: Air, Water, and Food.

The sound of that alarm is the crying out of customers reminding the leadership of Facebook that they are not users as the descriptor goes, but human beings who have chosen to enter into a relationship with a brand. Facebook is now breaking many of its promises, real or presumed, and if the leadership there doesn’t do something material about it soon, they are rolling the dice against fate. I used to like AOL. Back in the day we called it by its full name, America Online.

Between now and then, I can only hope that the nation’s leadership does embrace the gravitas of our current context. This month our nation celebrated its 242nd birthday. As I was sitting in the stands at Dodger Stadium on July 4 watching a spectacular and patriotic fireworks display (following a wonderful midseason win) something quite obvious but strange occurred to me: I have been alive for over 20% of our nation’s history. That may not seem curious to you, but it does to me.

When your team identifies a product concept that is worth pursuing, leadership becomes the championing of execution over the touting of an idea. Likewise, leadership is a choice. You have to decide if leadership is really something you’re ready to shoulder. This article originally appeared on Leadership Now. I’ve written the words People, Products, Profits (In That Order!)

Andy’s leadership at Intel took us from the 8086 to the Pentium chip, from monochrome to color displays, from floppy to CD disks, from no hard drive to software that could be installed. That was how Intel maintained design and manufacturing leadership for a generation, by always challenging assumptions, never accepting compromise or forging an unholy consensus simply to move on. We lost a great business leader earlier this year. His name was Andrew S.

2) Amateur Leadership : I’ve said it many times in these articles—people don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses. Maybe I’m getting a tad older. Or maybe with a few added laugh lines I can see a tad more clearly. Here’s what I see: Too many people leaving too many jobs much too quickly. What might that mean?

My life became focused on technology, marketing, sales, finance, and team leadership. It’s a bit weird, this Author thing. Let me try to explain. For as long as I can remember, putting words on paper has been an integral part of my life. It started when I was a kid, with little plays and poems. Then in high school it became short stories and full-length plays. Then in college some more plays, some student films, and the occasional joke for a journeyman standup comic.

Business Innovation Leadership Management dent in the universe hierarchies rallying cries Steve Jobs thick heads Walt DisneySome people focus on dreaming. Some focus on doing. The ones who find a way to bridge the gap make change happen. Every once in a while, as Steve Jobs would say, they put a dent in the universe. Many people elicit feedback. A few of them take something away from that feedback and apply it to what they are dreaming and doing.
Speaker: Clint Padgett, President & CEO, Project Success Inc.
You may have a visionary CIO and very capable project managers. You may have the best tech, the latest software, and stellar talent. But if you can’t establish a dynamic, collaborative team with a clear mission, then your project will slip through the cracks. It’s time for CIOs to unlock their "people potential" and learn the leadership skills that will lead to satisfied project managers and more than satisfactory project results. Join Clint Padgett, CEO and President of Project Success Inc., and bridge the gap between CIOs and Project Managers to create a passionate and successful team.

Contact someone there in a leadership capacity. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur to be an innovator. Becoming a startup CEO may not be your thing, but changing the world is always within your reach. There is a frenzy of late among those longing to lead business startups, and that is exciting. Entrepreneurs are a special breed, and while the successful ones are rare, no one really knows who is going to be successful in advance.

Musk is doing that, which to me looks like real leadership, and it feels good to applaud him. I don’t know Elon Musk. I wish I did. This guy knows stuff. He’s the real deal. If there is a possible next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, it could be him. He’s not goofing around with thin stuff that’s going to come and go. He already did consumer software engineering as his opening act as a cofounder of PayPal.

Again I agree, if a mission is just a string of words — Buzzword Bingo without a juicy prize — it will not motivate, but let’s consider a few potential examples of applying a personal leadership mission in attempting to inspire a team. Real leadership means rallying people around a cause, to subordinate their own personal quirks to the shared agenda adopted. Still it is important to remember than the personal leadership mission can endure.

It is jaw-dropping how many employees reflect on the lack of leadership and vision they receive from those who manage them, how starved they are for inspiration, and how little it takes to turn a bad day into a good day. Everyone can win — especially customers — if that’s the walk that leadership walks, leadership by example.

Business leadership is managing part for today, part for tomorrow. Apple unveiled a bunch of new products last week, including numerous options in shape, size, and price point for a fuller line of iPads. Many of these products are desirable and will make great holiday gifts, but none comes close to pioneering a new category of experience. These are known as brand extensions, variations on a theme for already desirable existing successes.

In leadership positions, we have to manage available time carefully, our “to-do” lists are rewritten each day, week, month, and year as a series of choices. Balance in leadership is critical, making good on today’s commitments while preparing for tomorrow, and it would be hard to maintain respect in an organization for a boss who neglected contractual obligations that paid the bills to wander aimlessly in dreamland.

In the workshop I teach on executive leadership, I spend a lot of time talking about how business is well advised to be pragmatic. You discuss, push back, respectfully argue and create reason to be heard, but to defy the leadership is not only to put the business at risk but also yourself at risk. It has been over a week now since our Presidential Election, a good time to reflect.

Collaborative compromise is guided by consensus, a combining of good ideas around an agreed set of goals articulated and guided by sound leadership. Demand leadership, demand shared vision. Last week more than eighty corporate CEOs signed and published a manifesto, agreeing that our nation needs both spending cuts and revenue increases to move forward.

It will be a guide towards a decentralized and management style that offers more successful decision making through collaboration.
