		<description><![CDATA[Few would argue that a nimble, quick-to-learn and quick-to-adapt organization is a bad thing. Given the rate of change in our world, those characteristics are increasingly table-stakes for survival and success. Why then has the approach to strategy and the notion of “strategic planning” in so many organizations remained mired in a 1960’s kind of static, top-down event-focused model? Here are six ideas to transform your organization's approach to and effectiveness with strategy.  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2012/01/25/strategy-towards-hypotheses-experiments-involvement-learning/' addthis:title='Strategy-Towards Hypotheses, Experiments, Involvement &#38; Learning ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve spent any amount of time inside the walls of an organization, you understand the promise and perils of collaboration. Great things can happen when we reach across silos and boundaries and seek to work together in pursuit of shared interests. However, as team guru Prof. J. Richard Hackman offers when talking about the potential of teams, “just don’t count on it.” I’m going to set aside my usual focus on project teams and raise my sights just a bit to the rarefied air of the senior levels of organizations.  In both my executive and consulting experience, I’ve observed or have been a part of situations where otherwise really smart people crash and burn on the shores of potential internal (strategic) collaboration.  In many of these cases, there's good money and important marketplace moves that were left on the table as a result of a failure to collaborate.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/08/05/learning-to-collaborate-at-the-top/' addthis:title='Learning to Collaborate at the Top ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As technology finally begins to catch up to our long-standing vision for how it can positively change our work lives and our businesses, it may just be time for us to rethink our stone-age approaches on how we work. If you’ve not pushed yourself to explore the new tools, and if you are responsible in some form or fashion for pushing the envelope on how your firm competes in the market, engages clients and arms its people to win, it might just be time to spend a few minutes focusing on the future.

		<description><![CDATA[Jody Weis relinquished his role as “Top Cop” here in Chicago, after what was a tumultuous and a productive three-year run in this thankless job. Weis was a controversial appointment by Mayor Daley. He was an outsider…a product of the FBI, and someone who hadn’t earned any street cred with the powerful cultural force that is the rank and file of the Chicago Police Department. He drove change, improved key measures and alienated himself from the entire organization in the process. His situation offers a number of valuable lessons for all of us.  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/03/02/in-the-battle-for-change-attacking-the-culture-usually-proves-fatal/' addthis:title='In the Battle for Change, Attacking the Culture Usually Proves Fatal ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the next few weeks, I will kick off two new features here on the blog. The first will be a Saturday Management Serial...an on-going story involving fictional firms and companies and the buffet of leadership, management and business issues that require solving by you, the readers. The second new feature will offer a view from the youngest generation in the workforce on the realities of leading, managing and developing a career. We've heard a great deal from the 40-something management group on the challenges of leading the generations...now, we'll hear the story from the other side of the age fence.

		<description><![CDATA[There’s no doubt we live in interesting times…a true Dickensian Best of Times, Worst of Times environment, filled with remarkable opportunities and equally remarkable personal, competitive, societal and global challenges.  Over the past few years and few thousand contacts with professionals on the topic(s) of developing as a professional and developing as a leader, a number of key “capabilities needed for success in these times” have emerged as recurring themes in discussions and group settings. Importantly, these themes or as I describe them, Capabilities, Attributes &#038; Behaviors (CABs) are essential for success at both the individual and organizational levels.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/01/19/nine-key-professional-capabilities-required-by-our-times/' addthis:title='Nine Key Professional Capabilities Required By Our Times ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few weeks, I’ve connected with some brilliant individuals in multiple entrepreneurial organizations.  In every instance, I heard some form of “We want to change the world” as these high-energy individuals described their ideas and their motivation. I love “change the world ideas” put forth by people passionate about doing something new, doing something better and helping others along the way. There’s no way I can avoid cheering for these teams. However, I can worry for them.

"Almost Isn't Good Enough," by Soles4Souls founder, Wayne Elsey is also a book about shoes.   And about a man. And about the human condition. And about management and leadership.

		<description><![CDATA[I confess to having a proclivity for essay collections when it comes to reading about management. Essays move along quickly and they offer the reader the opportunity to capture quick sound bites over breakfast, on the train or in other ideal reading rooms.  Also, there’s the reality that many management books struggle to adequately fill the space between the book-covers, offering up their best in the introduction, the first chapter and the wrap-up chapter. Here are my thoughts on: Management? It's Not What You Think! by Henry Mintzberg, Bruce Ahlstrand and Joseph Lampel.

		<description><![CDATA[The art and science of management is much about coping with risk. There are few certain outcomes in business, and that’s particularly true when we factor in the reality that people are darned complex and don’t always act rationally. More often than not, I see managers and leaders looking at their world through the eyes of “what can go wrong?” and basing their decisions solely on attempting to minimize those identified adverse outcomes.  Here are 5 ideas that leaders can use to help experimentation flourish on their teams. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/11/08/leadership-caffeine-managing-risk-without-stifling-experimentation/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: Managing Risk Without Stifling Experimentation ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are ample reasons for organizations to change business processes and business practices in this fast moving and complex environment. The market drivers are strong, the business justification is clear and often, ideas on how and where to change are clearly visible to some inside organizations. It’s too bad that most change management initiatives fail, in spite of the best of intentions.  With a bit of advance warning and some darned hard work however, you may be able to avoid the fate of so many that have come before you. Learn to ask yourself some core questions and keep asking these questions and you might just put one in the win column.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/11/05/dont-be-naive-when-it-comes-to-driving-change/' addthis:title='Don&#8217;t Be Naive When It Comes to Driving Change ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had the great privilege this past year to work with a Fortune 50 company that is methodically conquering the retail world.  Specifically, I’m working with a group of high-potential mid-level professionals all focused on increasing their contributions and growing their careers. During our recent time together, the program sponsors arranged for a good number of the senior executives of the corporation to sit down and share insights on how to develop as senior contributors; how to develop executive presence and in general, how to seize the opportunities being presented by the firm’s great growth.  Over the course of 3 development days, we invested approximately 5 hours engaging with executives. The impact was priceless.
