Define Your Personal Leadership Vision - Stew Friedman. By Stew Friedman | 1:14 PM August 7, 2008 For the past couple of years, I’ve had the good fortune of speaking at the Broad Advantage conference in New York. Part of Janet Hanson‘s amazing organization, 85 Broads, this weeklong program offers an array of speakers and experiences for about 100 college women who are interested in business careers. A few days ago I asked each member of this year’s group to sketch and then describe to the rest of us her personal leadership vision–a compelling image of an achievable future. Leadership vision is an essential means for focusing attention on what matters most; what you want to accomplish in your life and what kind of leader you wish to be. Let’s look a bit more closely at the four key components: A compelling story of the future is engaging; it captures the heart, forces you to pay attention. What contributions to our world do these young women dream of making?
What’s your personal leadership vision? Are You Wasting Money On Useless Knowledge Management? - Martin Ihrig, Max Boisot, and Ian MacMillan. By Martin Ihrig, Max Boisot, and Ian MacMillan | 11:54 AM January 20, 2011 Is your company investing in expensive knowledge management systems that are useless for making big, strategy decisions? Most companies recognize the need for knowledge management, but often delegate it to the IT and HR departments without linking it to corporate strategy, often thereby wasting both resources and the strategic options their firm’s knowledge could generate. The problem is that most current knowledge management efforts merely inventory the company’s knowledge, without parsing out the knowledge that is strategically relevant. Strategic management of knowledge focuses only on those knowledge assets that are critical to your firm’s competitive performance — from the tacit expertise of key individuals right through to explicit company-wide general principles.
In our simplified format, knowledge assets map along two dimensions. Figure 1: Map A Codification: Diffusion: BIOS: Ian C. Social Media versus Knowledge Management - Anthony J. Bradley and Mark P. McDonald. By Anthony J. Bradley and Mark P. McDonald | 9:27 AM October 26, 2011 On the surface, social media and knowledge management (KM) seem very similar. Both involve people using technology to access information. Both require individuals to create information intended for sharing. But there’s a big difference. Knowledge management is what company management tells me I need to know, based on what they think is important. These definitions may sound harsh, and biased in favor of social media, and to some extent they are. But, really, is that anyone’s KM reality? KM, in practice, reflects a hierarchical view of knowledge to match the hierarchical view of the organization. Social media looks downright chaotic by comparison.
It is no wonder, then, that executives, knowledge managers and software companies seek to offer tools, processes and approaches to tame social media. This is exactly the wrong attitude for one simple reason: It does not stop people from talking about you. Enterprise 2.0: The New, New Knowledge Management? - Tom Davenport. By Tom Davenport | 1:18 PM February 19, 2008 I am speaking today at the FastForward conference in Orlando. I’m talking about analytics and how they relate to search, but I came early and caught Andy McAfee’s talk last night about Enterprise 2.0.
As usual, Andy was articulate and perspicacious. He justifiably shifted the focus in his talk from praising the glories of E2.0 to a discussion of how to make it real within organizations. In doing so, he talked about the need for trust, cultural change, for senior management leadership, and even for some “slack” within organizations. I shouldn’t have been surprised. Still, that E2.0 is the new KM didn’t hit me for a while.
Sure, there are a few differences between classical KM and E2.0. I admit to a mild hostility to the hype around Enterprise 2.0 in the past. Comeback Plan at Runner. Cool Running | Beginner 10K Program. Posted Sunday, 7 September, 1997 First things first: bookmark this page so that you can check on your progress. You can also add daily run reminders to the Cool Running homepage as you roll through the weeks of this training program (to do this, edit your start page preferences). This program contains some speed workouts. (For more information on the types of speed workouts, we lay it all out in "The Runner's Building Blocks").
A few quick notes on how speedwork is described here: The distance in parentheses below fartlek runs includes a mile each of warmup and warmdown, in addition to your fartlek sessions. Don't know what a fartlek is? All other workouts (including the long runs) should be run at an easy training pace -- emphasis on "easy. " Finally, the pre-training schedule.
The schedule peaks at about 25 miles per week. Articles compliments of BOX.net.

The Job No CEO Should Delegate. The Idea in Brief In nine years, CEO Larry Bossidy pushed AlliedSignal from a struggling enterprise with only a 10.5% equity return to a powerhouse that delivered a ninefold return for shareholders. How? He made finding and developing great leaders his personal top priority—spending virtually 40% of his time on it. It’s impossible to spend too much time on leadership development, Bossidy proclaims—after all, it’s top-flight leaders who make a business great.
Yet many CEOs skimp on this responsibility (at best) or delegate it (at worst). Bossidy’s secret? The Idea in Practice If your firm suffers from mediocre leadership and weak “bench strength,” you need to prime the leadership pump. Make leadership development your priority. Get to know your firm’s leaders—and lose those who don’t measure up. Make executive development a core competency at your firm. Get involved in the candidate-evaluation process—internally and externally.
Look for four qualities in job candidates: Ability to execute. Almost Ready: How Leaders Move Up. Shortly after being elected U.S. president in 1960, John Kennedy offered Robert McNamara, then president of Ford, the post of treasury secretary. McNamara turned down the offer, saying he wasn’t qualified for the job. Then, Kennedy offered him the job of secretary of defense. When McNamara demurred again for the same reason, a frustrated Kennedy exclaimed: “Bob, there is no school to learn to be president, either!”
Leadership at the top is never easy for even the most experienced people. That’s a problem for aspiring chief executives. Clearly, there is an urgent need for CEOs and boards of directors to have an efficient and effective succession process, but few do. But would-be CEOs must also bear responsibility for their success. The CEO Succession Difference How is top-level succession unique? Not long after that, Dennis left to become the designated CEO successor at a company in a different industry, where he was unfamiliar with the products and technology.
The New Path To the C-Suite. The Idea in Brief The skills needed for top jobs change with the times. The résumés of today’s C-level managers look much different from those of their predecessors from 10 or 20 years ago. For the senior-most executives, functional and technical expertise has become less important than understanding business fundamentals and strategy.
Top-team members now tend to have more in common with their executive peers than with the people in the functions they lead. A recent study on executive recruiting offers insights on the new turns and twists in the road to the top. Artwork: Leandro Erlich,The Staircase,2005, metal structure, wood, vinyl tiles, 14.75' x 11.5' We know that different times and different circumstances call for different leadership skills. Those aren’t easy questions. One strikingly consistent finding: Once people reach the C-suite, technical and functional expertise matters less than leadership skills and a strong grasp of business fundamentals. The Chief Information Officer. A To-Do List for the CEO of Your Career - Cathy Benko. By Cathy Benko | 11:12 AM December 13, 2010 Let’s start off with a pop quiz: Who is the CEO of your career? If you answered with any pronoun that is not in the first person, then guess again.
I was reminded (once again) of this just last week. I spent a day on the Harvard Business School campus, my old stomping grounds, for a bunch of meetings with professors, students, my book editor, some Deloitte folks, etc. I’m not sure why I’m asked so often for career advice — guess it could be my job title (chief talent officer), or the well-documented ebbs and flows of my own journey.
It may also — unfortunately but true — be my membership in the world’s too-small-if-you-ask-me club of woman leaders with kids. Whatever the reason, I get asked about careers often enough that I can now sum up my answer in a single word: options. This world, and by extension this world of work, is changing quickly and precipitously. Finally, optimize your career-life fit.
