If you could wave a magic wand and suddenly make every employee in your organization proficient in one behavior what would that be? Critical thinking? Customer-orientation? Sales? No matter which behavior I consider, I’m hard pressed to come up with one that would be more impactful with just a bit more listening. Listening transforms relationships.

There comes a time in a more human leadership journey where something radically changes. The focus of our effort makes a major progression forward that, once accomplished, propels us to greatness. On the other hand, if this progression is NOT made, we’ll be doomed to mediocrity or outright failure. And, I can assure you, this is something that is applicable all generations, from a baby boomer like me to the millennials now stepping up into leadership roles.

Earlier this week, James Lawther shared his story of researching change management models in order to expand his toolkit beyond the initial training he had received. As a result of his search, he discovered that change management models typically cover one of three different dimensions: Process (how change happens), People (what people experience during change), and Environment (designing context to support change).

When I was in grad school, there were clearly two camps (and they didn’t respect each other all that much): The scientests out to prove their hypotheses through experimentation, control groups, and statistical analysis, and the qualitative researchers who showed up, listened, and let the theories emerge. Being in business, and studying at night, I was initially drawn to the power of proof.

Teddy Roosevelt, a man who certainly knew how to rally the troops. I know some people are petrified when they are handed a microphone, or step up to a podium, but I’m not one of those people – at least not now. I little over 20 years ago I figured out the key to making a good speech was what I called “ spontaneous preparedness ”. That is, making a speech “sound” spontaneous, but making sure there was much preparation, and a good structure, behind it.

The chorus of voices declaring the end of anti-virus has reached a deafening pitch. Many of us in the community, myself included, have long said that anti-virus is dead and even a senior VP at Symantec has now admitted such. When the biggest anti-virus vendors, folks who want to perpetuate anti-virus myths for financial reasons, admit anti-virus is dead, it is time to realize anti-virus is a failed approach.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Implementing change at work requires facing the truth and discussing uncomfortable topics. For example, you might have to share that the change will have negative repercussions for certain stakeholders. To adequately assess risk, you may have to admit the possibility that the change won’t work. Or, you may need to help leaders see the behaviors they must change in themselves for the project to be successful.
