Why we need to stop believing that culture and collaboration sit within the four walls of an office. Recent research finds that more than three-quarters of C-suite executives expect the typical “core” employee to be back in the office three or more days a week. The reason? While they recognize that the great work-from-home experiment was surprisingly effective they also believe that it hurt organizational culture and belonging and that it does not support collaboration and innovation.

A number of my clients confuse their strategic ideas with tactical work. They think that the agile tools they use, such as boards, offer a strategic advantage. So they build or customize their tools. However, they adopt or “install” an agile framework or process without customization. Those actions lead to organizational brittleness. Instead, agile organizations need flexibility, not rigidity.

The ability to speak, convey ideas, and inspire others to act is an enormous part of what’s perceived and experienced as leadership. Do you know who gets leadership positions in a company? Those who are already perceived as leaders. It’s much easier and far lower risk to promote someone who’s already doing the work of a leader and merely formalizing what’s already been true informally for quite some time.

I receive a ton of questions from my Inner Circle members about how to handle colleagues and bosses who take credit for their ideas and work. Invariably, these questions come from the idea that this is unfair. While others stealing your ideas sometimes does occur, it doesn’t occur nearly as often as most people think. Here’s why. There are two very simple reasons why someone else will get credit for your ideas when you didn’t.

People — me included — get scared when it comes to taking steps with positioning. Niching down is hard. It feels like an important public exercise and that’s scary.
