In today’s world, business transformation has morphed from a one-time special project to a never-ending series of transformations — the majority of which will fail. With a future full of changes, challenges, and surprises, leaders need a new approach. Forward-thinking organizations are focusing on regeneration — developing a long-term vision and a series of unified actions to more harmoniously link business operations and performance and create lasting value.

You no doubt know of leaders who are good in a crisis. Or others who you turn to when collaboration is what’s called for. Maybe there’s a boss you’ve had who was super empathetic but didn’t get sh*t done when the stakes were high. The best leaders though?

Managing people can be hard. Especially if no one showed you how to do it well. As a manager, you're tasked with guiding, motivating, and coaching your team to succeed. But how can you lead others in those ways? They’re not robots nor a pet where simple orders, or a simple dog treat will get the job done. This is where Stephen Covey's " emotional bank account " concept comes in.

It’s natural that some of your people will move on to new opportunities or no longer be a good fit. Yet, if you've done a good job as a manager, departures should never be a total surprise. Through good rapport and open communication, you will know when a departure is coming, whether it’s your idea, their idea, or a little of both.
