We facilitated a meeting in April 2020 for a team of ten people. In the past such a meeting would typically have the eight co-located members sitting together in a conference room and the other two on video. The pandemic meant that for this meeting everyone was joining from home. The two people who were usually remote made an interesting observation at the end of the session.

Again and again, I’m drawn back to Gerald Weinberg’s The Law of Raspberry Jam. The more you spread it, the thinner it is. As indie consultants & freelancers, the law of raspberry jam is one that we violate at our peril. Think about the essential marketing items that you need in place to market your business, grow, and generate leads: A narrow, specific target market for your positioning.

The challenge: The world is a mess, or rather the world feels a lot messier than it did in 2019 – largely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has been tough to deal with and yet deal with it still we must. It has been challenging in different ways. For some of us, working at home and staying at home so much has been oddly confusing, lonely and isolating.

All relationships work more smoothly when expectations are clear and explicit. The opposite of an explicit expectation is an implied one. Let’s look at both personal and professional examples.

Can public US companies really embrace lean? Well sure, they can deploy lean tools here and there, but the whole socio-technical system that comprises lean? I don’t think so. Wall Street pressure for quarterly profits competes fiercely with lean principles, both inside and outside the company. Executives who take the long-term view and view employees as appreciating assets worthy of investment, rather than variable costs to be minimized, put their companies at risk of attack from outside “activi

How to ensure people learn, develop and feel invested in – no matter how small your training budget is. The CIPD have released their latest learning report [1] , and whilst not entirely surprising, it highlights that charities and non-profit organisations have very tight training budgets. These will continue to shrink. The Covid-19 pandemic has meant shifting resource and budgets, and it follows tradition that L&D budgets are amongst the first to go.

All companies appear to be grappling with their approach to diversity and inclusion in the organization. Many have appointed Chief Diversity Officers. However, when you appoint a Chief Anything Officer, you decline responsibility for that thing yourself. I've seen this in Quality, Excellence, you name it. When you name a Chief <something> Officer, you no longer have to do that thing yourself.

Avoiding the parenting penalty – take a flexible approach to ensure working parents and carers can be at their best. Charity and non-profit managers know that supporting working parents and carers makes sense. The majority of people walking in the voluntary sector are women [1] and being a working parent or carer is on the rise too [2]. Therefore, a large portion of the people in your organisation are likely to need to balance work with family life and other responsibilities.

While a pandemic might bring out the best and the worst of us, scams persist. I received an email this morning from a so-called “self-publishing” company. They are quite happy to help me get my book to traditional publishers. They didn't say what it would cost, but they wanted the pdf of the interior and the cover. That's what you need to create a book and sell it online.

In the course of the average Formula 1 race there are lots of little incidents: Cars get too close to each other and eventually come into contact, sending one or the other (and sometimes both) spinning off the track; someone approaches a corner too fast and ends up beached in gravel or with the front of their car crumpled by a wall of tyres. More often than not the affected drivers jump out of their cars and stomp off, apparently more upset to be out of the race than they are relieved to be aliv

Let’s end the week with a (great) reader question: What are some leading indicators to measure progress in habits that should generate leads? I have a lot of thoughts on this. First, this is similar to the concept of Activity-Based Selling (more here: [link] ). That is, you’re identifying the leading indicators that correlate with “doing the work to sell more things” and then tracking them overtime to make sure you’re taking the right actions.
