I’m not sure why so many people in positions of power think sarcasm is a leadership competency. Sure a quick wit, used well, can energize the team and lighten the load. But a sarcastic remark meant to belittle those who don’t dare fight back diminishes confidence, degrades trust, and leaves folks looking for the nearest escape route. In fact, an audience member asked me again last week (anonymously through my polling app) , “Can you talk about the danger of sarcasm?

Yes, I always tend to look at the glass as “half full” – call me an eternal optimist, call me a fool, but I find it’s the best way to live one’s life with the least amount of angst. I hate angst.

Technology that has been used to hunt terrorists is now gaining traction with Wall Street to enhance customer outcomes, make better decisions and even track down fraud. The Wall Street Journal examined this trend in their piece titled: Spy Software Gets a Second Life on Wall Street. They reported on a wave of companies with ties to the intelligence community "winning over" the world of finance.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources.

Every once in a while when talking to smart people the topic of automation comes up. Technology has made lots of occupations redundant, so what’s next? Switchboard operator, a long time ago. What about software engineers? Every year technology replaces parts of what they do. Eventually surely everything must be replaced? I just ran into another one of these arguments: Software Engineers will be obsolete by 2060.

In most companies, if you’re serious about your project, you can’t show up to a meeting without a “deck” to explain it. But if people are glazing over, you’re not inspiring their best thinking.

Do you wish implementing change was not such an uphill battle? I’ve worked with scores of people who have undertaken the challenge of implementing change in their organizations, and many felt the same way. My job is usually to help make sense of the task ahead, or to help them get unstuck in the middle of it. As a result, I’ve developed a set of tools and approaches which have been used to overcome what can seem like endless obstacles to the adoption of change.

An important thing in every company is employee training if the organization is to continue reaping from its important resource—employees. Nonetheless, employees are always busy with all kinds of duties and clearly always on the move. In such a case, microlearning comes in handy to give each of them easy to learn programs that fit within their daily chores better than most traditional training methods.
