Thinking and Acting Systemically This requires seeing the big picture, broadening your perspective, seeing patterns in relationships and processes, and dealing with the uncertainties and trade-offs that are part of the complexities of organizations. Give up the need to constantly please. While trying to please everyone, you may find that you’re doing a lot each day, but doubting your ability, impact, and success.
Can you succeed without being a terrible person? People often think they have to be ruthless to succeed: as the old saying has it: “Nice guys finish last.”
But I’ve spent several years looking at that in practice, and it turns out the real world is more nuanced. Although individuals who are too soft will indeed finish last . . . this doesn’t mean individuals at the opposite extreme, arrogant or constantly Machiavellian — or encouraging mobs to attack their own nation’s seat of government — are always going to have much lasting success either. The pandemic has shown just how important finding the right balance — finding “fairness” — can be. In the world’s various lockdowns, for example, think of the resentment that arose wherever populations felt their leaders were being unfair — and how hard that made it to carry out public health measures.
Or the way the strongman-style of government, with leaders ostentatiously used to declaring their superiority, ended up blinding themselves from useful information. How acts of leadership kindness make everyone better. It is now a given that the pressure cooker of coronavirus accelerates corporate change.

‘Authentic’ leaders who lack skill are doomed to fail. I have a question for Bill Michael, former chairman of KPMG UK: why would anyone want to be led by you?
That is what Gareth Jones and Rob Goffee used to ask groups of executives. “Without fail, the response is a sudden, stunned hush. All you can hear are knees knocking,” they wrote in Harvard Business Review in 2000, in the article that spawned their bestseller Why Should Anyone Be Led By You? Série Leadership - Les temps changent… et les leaders aussi ! Au cours des dernières décennies, de nombreuses recherches ont été effectuées sur le leadership.
Quelles sont les caractéristiques qui font qu’on attribue à un individu les qualités d’un meneur? Ce sujet fascine, mais est loin d’avoir livré tous ses secrets. Pourquoi la crise actuelle appelle un management humble et sincère. Chroniques d’experts Management Le 22/10/2020 © Getty Images.
Gestion de la performance à distance. Le télétravail: enjeux et sources de succès. Préambule Plébiscité aussi bien par les employeurs que les employés, la thématique du télétravail est désormais sur toutes les lèvres et au cœur de l'actualité sur le travail.

In the ongoing study Next Practices in Employee Experience, 69% of more than 550 business professionals surveyed indicated they believe the COVID-19 pandemic will change what employee experience means at their organizations to a high or very high extent.
How 2020 Changed What it Means to Be a Leader. Scholar, author, and researcher on organizational leadership Warren Bennis often said, “managers do things right, leaders do the right thing.” The past 12 months have truly tested that mantra; 2020 found us all careening from one crisis to another: A pandemic that has killed more than two million people worldwide, global economic crisis that has left ten-of-millions of the most vulnerable unemployed, social upheavals that put a spotlight on the harsh reality of racial inequality, and political turmoil that tested the democracies in many countries.
Indeed, at times it has felt as if society were having a collective nervous breakdown. All of this upheaval has forced a multitude of changes to society, education, work, and business.
