The Senior Vice President stood in front of my all hands meeting of 300 and said, “I was wrong.” I’ve never heard a group that size sit in such silence. I’m not even sure we were breathing. You see, she had been a naysayer. She knew the mission our team had been given was necessary, but she didn’t believe it could be done.

Note: Today I’m pleased to present a preview excerpt from my book manuscript of “More Human: A Journey To The Heart Of Great Leadership” It’s a personal story illustrating the importance of knowing the time for leaders to “let go” of control, and to pass the torch to new and deserving leaders, a process I call “leading your way out of a job” Names have been changed for the privacy of those involved in the story.

Over the last several years, there’s been a surge of new internal change management positions and departments within organizations. Someone in each organization must have seen the value in dedicating resources to doing change well, but what about everyone else who needs to apply it? Stuck trying to convince everyone else of their purpose, change practitioners often ask, “How do I communicate the value of change management?

I’ve never met a manager who felt they had more headcount than they needed. In fact, the number one answer I get when I ask managers what they need most is “More people!” And yet most of us have been on the receiving end of the conversation saying “We’re going to need to figure out how to do more with less.” In fact, there was one dark period of my career that I received that call every quarter for 2 years.

Note: this post is full of pseudo-psychology and highly speculative content. Like most fun stuff! I became a manager back in 2009. Being a developer is fun. You have this very tangible way to measure yourself. Did I deploy something today? How much code did I write today? Did I solve some really cool machine learning problem on paper? But as 1:1’s and emails and architecture discussions started filling up my day I often walked home with this gnawing feeling of having accomplished nothing.

“It’s not personal; it’s just business.” –Too Many People. I’ve always felt that the lines we draw between business life and personal life are mostly artificial. Granted, some demarcation between the roles we play at home and at work is healthy, but it makes me shudder a little when I hear people say things like, “in business and in life.” They are not different endeavors.

Earlier today I was presenting a Leading Next Level Teams workshop to about 70 senior leaders in a global financial services company. It was a fun session made even more so by the use of a cool interactive technology called SpotMe where everyone could use special iPads to answer a few questions I was interested in. One of the early questions was "Which is harder, picking up new skills and behaviors or letting go of old skills and behaviors that used to work for you but likely no longer do?".

We live in a time where technology has made it possible to work from anywhere, and many people have eschewed the traditional office for the chaotic din of a cafe in Bangkok or a hotel in Prague. Yet, while this trend has opened up unprecedented opportunities, it also brings with it a number of challenges, perhaps the most insidious of which is a lack of ergonomically healthy options in non-traditional workspaces.

Software is complex, which makes threats to the software supply chain more real every day. 64% of organizations have been impacted by a software supply chain attack and 60% of data breaches are due to unpatched software vulnerabilities. In the U.S. alone, cyber losses totaled $10.3 billion in 2022. All of these stats beg the question, “Do you know what’s in your software?

All too often, IT projects end up like this Image Credit: Dr. Jim. I’m often puzzled by the fact that most IT departments do a very good job of the day-to-day things that we are asked to do. I mean, there is a lot that goes on in an IT department each and every day and somehow we seem to be able to get it all done. However, when it comes time to do a large IT project for some mysterious reason, things seem to fall apart which is odd considering the importance of information technology.

According to Greg Young of the Gartner Group, many organizations are taking the “adopt first, secure later” approach to the cloud. Currently, IT organizations are initially finding ways to meet emerging business requirements, and then realizing the necessity of identifying additional security controls. The involved work is typically acquitted slowly and piecemeal, based largely on a lack of dedicated funding.
