During a recent call with a group of presidents from some of the world’s largest companies, the number-one issue keeping them awake at night was attracting and retaining great talent. It’s an issue that companies of every size have been grappling with since the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted first our lives and then the labor market. The executives were...
Faced with a tough decision that needs to be made quickly, most leaders’ command-and- control instincts kick in. They are often wrong. In a world changing at an extraordinary pace, expecting a leader under pressure to make the call alone is to overlook the talent in the team. The better answer is quick-fire collaboration. Today’s economy demands that...
Uncovering the answers to this question has been the driving force of the Socratic business adviser Jim Collins‘s career. But what about now, as we emerge from the Covid-19 crisis, in a business landscape that is best summed up by the word disruption? I got on a call recently with Jim to discuss. For more than a quarter...

Actually, summer doesn’t have to be a relationship wasteland. Let’s say that you call a powerful corporate chieftain, and she says, “I don’t have much time to talk. I’m...
