This year was a challenging year for many of us. Some of you may have lost your livelihoods, and you may know people who even lost their lives. For those of us lucky enough to be healthy and hard at work during 2020, we had to navigate a new and challenging environment; a loss of freedom to socialise and interact with friends, colleagues, and clients in the way that we had become accustomed.

Leadership is about leading people, while management is about managing subordinates. Some would say that these two are entirely the same, and some would say that they are different. That’s why managers often fall into the trap of thinking that they either need to manage or lead their subordinates. At Effective Managers™, we say that the two skills are different, and you need to know how to distinguish them.

Enlist GoalPower to make 2021 be your best year ever! Most people don’t set goals. Therefore, they react to whatever happens. Studies show that people who write goals are happier and make more money. Certainly, that is a great combination. A friend of mine set goals to buy his own business. He did it. Likewise, I know others who talked a good game but they never had a goal or plan.

When McKinsey client CEOs are asked why they value McKinsey, the word “perspective” comes up a lot. While I remember hearing those words regularly as a consultant, I’ve more recently come to appreciate what those CEOs meant. Perspective is looking at the same information everyone else is looking at, but seeing a different picture than others. This is why interviewers value “insights” in the case interview.

Are you on “Paid Time Off” (PTO) this and/or next week? Several of my clients claim they're on PTO. That's what their “away” email says. Yet, they've sent me emails, direct messages, all kinds of interactions. What gives? Several possibilities. Too often, they feel they must: Finish some work before the end of the year.

In graduate school, I had a classmate who had previously worked at a boutique firm. She enthusiastically advocated that everyone interested in consulting should only go for boutique firms. Today, having acquired more perspectives from friends and colleagues with boutique firm experience, I have a greater appreciation of what it means to start a consulting career at a boutique firm.

I first heard of the phrase “cascade of errors” from a friend of mine who was a private pilot. As part of his desire to be a competent and safe pilot of private planes, he regularly read after-action reports of every airplane crash in the United States. His thinking was that crashing an airplane had a near 100% fatality rate. So, there is no opportunity to learn from your own mistakes.

By our estimate, 2020 saw the consulting market shrink by an unprecedented amount—a contraction of 13% compared to 2019, far greater than the industry has suffered in any previous crisis. Against this backdrop, the consulting industry has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to adapt. But the year has also exposed structural weaknesses that firms have shied away from addressing in the past and which, we think, now demand urgent attention.

During the MBA experience, meditation was one of those words that I constantly heard of, read about and wanted to practice but never actually did. I kept hearing about its benefits from the people practicing it, and it still kept being an item on my long want-to-try list. Whenever I would set the alarm for the next morning to start a 5-minute meditation session, I would fall asleep instead.

“If we wait for perfection, we will never break the silence. The cycle of racism will continue uninterrupted.”. I have finally figured out why self-identity is overrated. It’s because, sooner or later, your image of who you are, your efforts, and your competence will get in the way of being more, doing more, and learning more. The journey between your intentions and their impact, it turns out, is the longest one of all, filled with dark paths and dead ends, punctuated by only occasional moments
