Many consulting, corporate strategy, and corporate development roles require the interviewee to go through an M&A case study. Depending on the firm and specific role this case could be very strategic and operational like doing a market entry/growth-type case or very technical (i.e. building financial models like DCF, accretion/dilution, LBO, etc.).

Lean advocates—and I consider myself one—might do better if they stop talking about lean. Let’s face it: When executives and workers hear “lean,” not a lot of good happens. They think it’s yet another short-term management fad. Or a cost-cutting program that will lead to layoffs. Or some Japanese thing that only works for car manufacturers. But when you look at many of the tools and concepts from the lean playbook, they’re really just good management that any leader would want to embrace.

Suppose I were to tell you that there were a group of professionals out there who spent every working day travelling to clients and proselytizing the gospel of innovation and transformation. These people can lecture you for hours about how you need to digitise; if you don’t adapt your business model in the face of new technology, they preach, you can expect to be disrupted out of existence.

I keep encountering managers and consultants who want to make work “fun” for people. As a goal, “fun” is a bunch of hooey. Before I was a consultant, I held various Director-level positions at local companies. Each organization had mandatory fun days. In one organization, we played softball. Yes, everyone—especially the managers—had to play softball as part of a team.

Not the pithiest of titles, we grant you, but bear with us. Research we did a couple of years ago with marketers in consulting firms and the partners they worked with highlighted two areas of agreement between these groups. One was that thought leadership matters, the other that almost no other marketing activity does. But why does it matter? And more specifically, when does it matter?

Sometimes life throws us an obstacle. In the moment, most people’s reaction (mine included) is to get irritated at the obstacle and at the detours needed to overcome it. To paraphrase the late Steve Jobs, looking back, all the “detours” (my word choice, not his) make sense in hindsight, even if they don’t in the moment. Through the arc of my career to date, I’ve come to appreciate the truth and wisdom in this sentiment.
