Change at any level can be difficult. However, inside a large organization, it can be more so because for that change to not only take place, but to do so effectively, often means the transition of power, and those who have the power, are not usually in a hurry to give it up. So, can we implement genuine and meaningful change as a way to confront the Obstructionism of Innovation without creating a...

You and I were told we've got to go to college and get a degree if we want a chance at having a good job. But is that still true? Did you know that today, 54% of college graduates regret investing in a degree? Ove...

Difficult conversations are the mainstay of leadership and any and every relationship. Sometimes you have to communicate with someone less powerful than you.

You and I both know it takes two people to engage in healthy dialog, particularly if we want meaningful outcomes. But is that possible in what can feel lik...

However, in becoming so big, those industry giants lose a lot of their agility. But what if these two very different ways of doing business found a way to come together? What could the Gorillas of indust...
