Alignment is one of the rare attributes of truly world-class teams—and a true competitive advantage. The world may be volatile and uncertain, but dream team members know what their peers are working on, what goals are being activated; they know everyone is aligned on the same critical mission. By contrast, teams in siloed organizations are...
The future belongs to teams that can see it coming—but our research shows that only 25% of Fortune 500 companies have a consistent, structured approach to anticipating and navigating disruption. Let that sink in for a moment. In a world where change is the only constant, three out of four of the biggest, most resource-rich...
Few leaders really geek out on engineering their team behaviors and cultures of their companies. But those who do are typically engineers like Arvind Krishna, the CEO at IBM, who have turned their attention to not only the meticulous engineering of their products but their processes and ways of working. These are the rare 15%....
Starkloff’s journey highlights a broader lesson: organizations often focus too much on individual leadership competencies and too little on team behaviors.

Many companies seem to be struggling for answers in the face of skyrocketing attrition rates. How to stanch the bleeding? Perhaps a better idea is to change...
1. NEVER GO “BACK” TO WORK—ONLY GO FORWARD TO WORK. At the peak of the pandemic, we saw this as a huge inflection point, a great opportunity for individuals to redefine strategies, workplaces, teams, and social contracts. But what we are afraid of is that, after this great opportunity, people will crawl out of the rubble and...

Chief Financial Officers are emerging as critical players in the war to attract, develop, and retain talent across an organization — with the need to understand people metrics becoming as vital as the top and bottom-line numbers of the business.
