'When I ask leaders why they’re not telling people what they need to know, the most consistent response I get is “ Sh e or he didn’t ask.” Quite frankly that’s a cop-out. Yeah sure–ideally everyone would be ASKING for feedback. If you’re not asking, start asking now. It may be the only thing standing between you and the truth.

'As leaders, we are charged with guiding our organizations to success. Whatever that mark of success may be be, it most definitely involves positive change. To be successful, we must question everything and never allow the mindset… Because That’s The Way It’s Always Been Around Here. The best way to explain this to any organization is to present the gorilla experiment.

'It was so much fun we didn’t want it to be over. We were having a great ride on this roller coaster, and the cool thing was, there were more thrilling twists and turns ahead of us. But reality had intervened, and we had to stop – and, on top of that, all the riders had to go their separate ways. It was July of 2010, and I was playing a round of golf with my core management team in Billings, Montana.

'The playing field was clearly uneven, but the “visiting team” had chosen to come and play by our rules: An underdog team at it’s finest. I was teaching executive presence and communication to MBA students, 30% for whom English is their second language. The final assignment was TEDdy talks, 5 minute speeches in the style of TED. I knew the assignment was stacked in favor of the American students.

'The graphic below from Ping Identity provides some interesting context on passwords in cyber security. The use of passwords as a first line of defense is a faulty security posture. Statistics prove that relying on our ability to create unique, but easy to remember passwords for 10, 20 or even more applications is too difficult. Further, imposing password standards actually encourages insecure user behavior and results in frustrated users and gaping security holes.
