One of a leader's most important functions is serving as a shock absorber , soaking up forces generated by one part of the organization (or from outside the organization) and distributing them elsewhere, and doing so in such a way that the entire system operates more effectively. This is a simple metaphor, but it has some implications that are worth making explicit: A shock absorber cushions the blow--it doesn't prevent the flow of force.

By: Rich DePencier and Philippe Harousseau. I’m sure many of you read with intrigue recently when Yvon Chouinard, CEO of the revered outdoors company Patagonia, signaled that he was “giving away” his company – essentially, donating the value of his ownership interest to charity. Though this is a rather extreme example of corporate philanthropy at work, the lesson regarding purpose is especially relevant in these days of corporate transparency.

Every leader, whether their title is boss, manager, supervisor, or coach, has a lot going on.

A theme in my practice is the leader who's struggling to repair a damaged working relationship with an employee.

This usually entails the following steps in some form: Having both parties engage in an ongoing dialogue about the relationship.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
