You can help your team overcome this discomfort by asking them to view themselves as agents of change who are learning new things. Rituals can also help to reduce stress by giving people structure and predictability in one area of their work lives.":1,"#As you lead change initiatives, it’s important to identify any sources of resistance within the organization and engage these teams and individuals in dialogue. This requires face-to-face conversations and active listening. You also must be open to change. Engaging with resisters often requires two conversations. During the first, you identify the source of the resistance. In the second, you determine whether there will be any changes to the strategy and explain why (or why not).":1,"#Section Four: Overcoming Roadblocks and Resistance to Change":1,"#When it comes to communication, leaders must focus heavily on communicating effectively to their subordinates. However, there will be times as a leader when you’ll need to raise difficult issues with your manager. In these instances, pick your topics carefully.

At the end of the meeting, confirm your action items and those that your manager will address.":1,"#Storytelling is an effective communication tool during organizational changes. It connects people and inspires them to take action. As a leader, the keys to success are understanding your story so well that you can describe it in simple terms, honoring the past, articulating the mandate for change, and laying out a detailed and optimistic path forward.":1,"#In times of change, leaders must pay close attention to how they communicate with team members. It’s important to convey what’s expected in terms of outcomes, rather than tasks. In addition, leaders must live the change they want to see.

Here are eight common errors often seen in transformation efforts:":1,"#If you’re a leader responsible for carrying out senior executives’ plans for change, you must be committed to success. If you feel that commitment wavering, you need to consider whether you trust the organization. If not, you may want to look for another job. If so, you must accept that the decision is sound. It can be helpful to put yourself in the shoes of one of the people who believes in the idea. The next steps are to carry out the strategy and communicate the plan to your team with confidence.":1,"# Trust in principles relates to a team’s discretion, respect for psychological safety, and positive intentions.":1,"# Trust in performance relates to a leader’s confidence that team members will follow through, use good judgment, and represent the organization well.":1,"#Trust is an essential part of successful organizational change. There are two types of trust that leaders must pay attention to:":1,"# Impartiality. Appoint a neutral change facilitator to address politics and infighting.":1,"# Authenticity. Exhibit behaviors that support change.":1,"# Attainability. Use micro-changes to make the change achievable.":1,"# Relevance. Focus on the need for latent change.":1,"# Ownership. Give everyone a voice in shaping the change.":1,"# Legitimacy. Focus on engaging your organization’s change influencers.":1,"#Before introducing change to an organization, it’s a good idea to cultivate a culture of change acceptance. You can do this by addressing six elements of culture:":1,"#Researchers have found that team members’ need to belong has a significant impact on change outcomes. Change initiatives led by individuals who pay attention to belonging have a higher likelihood of success. These leaders make employees feel secure, but they also help team members detach from past loyalties so change can occur.":1,"#Promote cross-boundary collaboration to spur new thinking and perspectives.":1,"#Set the expectation that everyone must take responsibility for mistakes and treat mistakes as a source of learning.":1,"#During meetings, ask “what if” questions.":1,"#Engage teams in dialogue and encourage them to ask questions and share insights.":1,"#Tell stories about teams that moved beyond the status quo.":1,"#Creative and innovative teams are skilled at working in the gray space, or the area where ambiguity is accepted and no rigid rules apply.

Masterful change is led by top management across the organization. Teams are given the freedom to implement change as they see fit. With emergent change, leaders offer a guiding intention and loose direction, but they leave room for teams to experiment and learn from rapid feedback loops.":1,"#Teams often make common assumptions that can get in the way of organizational change. These include the notion that meaningful change occurs slowly, change can be made later, more information is needed, going fast is reckless and going slow is good, people are stretched too thin, and the organization needs more time to prepare.":1,"#Leaders must keep an eye open for roadblocks that can cripple change initiatives. Common obstacles include fear of failure, fear of the unknown, or negative team members who dig in their heels.

It also builds on ultrasocial humans’ profound ability to learn from observation and feedback. Central to the geek norm of speed are the following tenets:":1,"#Much like controlling, rigid bureaucracy, the extensive time scales of industrial-era companies are antithetical to the geek way. Long, large projects rarely finish on time, and for ultrasocial humans fixated on group status, falling behind schedule invites lying—claiming to be on track or almost done when neither is true.":1,"#Speed: From Lying to Learning":1,"#A leader’s job is to ensure those individual goals align with the company’s broader vision. Leaders should bestow prestige on teams and individuals that achieve objectives in ways that reinforce positive norms and values of your culture. When autonomous efforts are aligned and company culture is reinforced, the need for controlling bureaucracy diminishes.":1,"#The geek way rejects rigid bureaucracy and the pressure to coordinate in favor of autonomy. Effort is distributed horizontally, and teams are encouraged to take ownership of their projects—and their results. Status comes not from succeeding in the corporate bureaucratic machine but by hitting metrics and achieving goals.":1,"#Why?

All you have to do is for the next 30 days when you are faced with a challenge adopt one of the 4 mindsets by reminding yourself that (1) Whatever is troubling you is temporary, (2) Your current setback is an indispensable part of the success puzzle, (3) There is a silver lining or a great opportunity within every challenge and (4) No matter what happens, you must trust that you are part of a much bigger plan.":1,"#by Andres Lara":1,"#Source: CornerStone Leadership":1,"#Accountability is one of the best written management books that advocate freedom and responsibility without control in managing business organizations that achieves sustainable results in sales growth and overall bottom line performance for many industries. This advocacy professes the belief in granting individuals in a business organization the right and the freedom to make choices that allows people to be personally responsible in their jobs when they are allowed to design and own their jobs, and to create their systems. And for leaders to have faith in their people by believing that everyone wants to be great and that they be trusted to do great things. Control based thinking asserts that controls establish accountability while freedom based thinking says that control stifles accountability and leads to cheating, shortcuts, and passive aggressive behavior to achieve results that in turn defeats accountability.":1,"#With The Essential Controller, Steven M. Bragg has provided a primer for the new controller. The world of accounting has changed, and with it the role of the controller. A once isolated profession, corporate accounting now involves close collaboration with many divisions as well as outside investors. Bragg shows how to manage the accounting department effectively, use ratio and trend analysis to understand the business, and create the internal controls that will catch problems and reduce risk. He also provides tips on areas that controllers never learn in school such as recruiting and retaining a good team, engaging investors, and working with the chief financial officer.":1,"#The world has changed dramatically in recent years. According to Andrew S. Winston, there are three “mega challenges” that businesses and societies must face: climate change, resource constraints, and demands for greater transparency driven by technology. The key to success is for organizations to become more resilient and capable of thriving in the face of change. In Harvard Business School Publishing title The Big Pivot, Winston describes the change in mindset that businesses must adopt in order to deal with mega challenges in a productive and profitable way. He underscores the need to recognize environmental and social challenges as issues that are central to the success or failure of businesses.":1,"#Every Pivot Needs a Story":1,"#The article provides information on a study which analyzed how start-up companies framed changes, or pivots, in their business plans to customers, investors, and journalists.":1,"#A case study explores a joint business venture building the 700,000-square-foot commercial office building Eastern Square in Moscow, Russia which was impacted by the covid-19 pandemic and the country's stay-at-home orders. It considers the possibility of selling the site to liquidate funds tied up, the pros and cons of continuing with construction with revised labor rules and low interest rates, and the interrelationship between the London, England-based Insurance company investor, the New York–based property development firm, and the local business partner who helped the project navigate the Russian bureaucracy & supplied the real estate.":1,"#At one time, entrepreneurs always knew the basic importance of cash in valuing their businesses. Usually, they would very simply work out a comparison of their total expected returns with what they can plausibly earn elsewhere, with the same amount of money at the same level of risk (i.e., the opportunity cost of capital). However, major developments in American capitalism have obscured this approach. First, although shareholders own a corporation, control over its operations is held by professional managers, whose interests often diverge from those of the majority of shareholders. In addition, managers possess detailed information about the company’s prospects that outside shareholders lack. Lacking inside information, shareholders accept accounting measurements to gauge corporate value; however, these measurements were never intended for this purpose.":1,"#Dan Pilat, Sekoul Theodor Krastev, Mike James Ross":1,"#Will Guidara":1,"#Bjorn Billhardt, Nathan Kracklauer":1,"#EBSCO Learning Accel":1,"#William Baldwin":1,"#The article focuses on strategies for building true customer loyalty, as shared by six business leaders.

These approaches highlight that loyalty is cultivated through genuine engagement and responsiveness to customer needs.":1,"#Steve Schwartz, Vivek Raghunathan, Alex Ross, Karla Gallard, Michael Seckler, Charlotte Mostaed":1,"#Keep Them Coming Back":1,"#Fake news—deliberately fabricated stories designed to go viral—poses escalating risks to corporate reputations. Traditional responses, such as ignoring false claims or issuing corrections, often fail. So what should companies do? Drawing on behavioral research and real-world case studies, the authors present a three-part framework: monitor social resonance to identify the spread and influencers of fake news early; ensure transparency by engaging stakeholders before crises erupt; and activate credible allies to reinforce the truth. A fictional case illustrates how these tactics can shift the narrative and maintain trust. In this age of disinformation, defense against fake news requires more than truth-telling—it demands building and broadcasting the perception that others also reject the falsehoods.":1,"#Patrick Haack, Simone Mariconda, Michael Etter, Marta Pizzett":1,"#How to Counter Fake News":1,"#This article reports on the research “Soothing the Unsatisfied or Pleasing the Satisfied? The Effects of Managerial Responses to Positive Versus Negative Reviews on Customer Ratings and Financial Performance,” by Jiajun Wu, Jun Ye, and Junhong Chu which was published in the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science in 2024.

It focuses on the decision to lead conscientiously, which is different from decisions because of personal gain.":1,"#To succeed, a new company must rally investors, staff, customers, and the media around a good story. But often that narrative turns out to be wrong, and entrepreneurs realize they need to change direction. How that shift is communicated can have a huge impact on a venture’s future. Through extensive research with founders, innovation chiefs, analysts, and journalists, the authors have identified stratagems for maintaining stakeholder support during pivots. Early on, entrepreneurs should avoid a focus on overly specific solutions and instead present the big picture. When changing course, they can then signal continuity by explaining how the new plan fits with the original vision. Once the reboot has happened, it’s critical to be conciliatory and empathetic to stakeholders who may feel abandoned. Employees and customers are far more willing to remain loyal if given guidance about how they’ll be affected and if leaders seem to genuinely care about their situation.":1,"#Connect with him at info@TheCubanGuy.com":1,"#www.Facebook.com/Motivation911":1,"#The point? Perhaps the issue in front of you is not of as much significance as the angle you are experiencing it from.

Asking this question will direct your energy to look for the hidden positives that lie within your challenges and keep you from wasting it on complaining about the negatives.":1,"#On the other hand, even when things are perfect, embracing a temporary mindset can be very helpful. You see, people's zest for life is frequently killed not by misfortunes but by their inability to appreciate what's already great around them. Therefore, if you begin to remind yourself that this moment, no matter how perfect, will too come to an end, you will start appreciating all of the positives in your life that you have been taking for granted.":1,"#Keep this thought in mind by Ralph Waldo Emerson: \"Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.\" Be thankful even for failures, for they are an indispensable piece of your success puzzle.":1,"# 1. Nothing in life is permanent, not even you. So if you are impermanent, how can your problems be permanent?

Understanding how they work and how to implement them in the day-to-day business world can be a daunting task. In Strategic Corporate Finance, Justin Pettit provides real-world applications of the principles of modern corporate finance. He takes a holistic approach to enterprise management by placing an emphasis on actionable, strategic implications and addressing performance measurement, valuation topics, and optimal capital structure. After reading this book, Chief Financial Officers, treasurers, board members and senior operating executives will have an improved practical understanding of corporate finance issues. Managing for value is the mantra of many executives. This occurs, despite the fact that much of the academic literature and many analysts interpret managing for value initiatives as merely advances in metrics and measurement. According to the author, this narrow interpretation implies little fundamental change to the behavior of the people and processes responsible for the decisions and actions that create value.":1},"version":196766}]
