By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. This video applies to us all – especially those in leadership. I highly recommend watching this video as a recommencement of sorts – to being grounded in humility, reality, authenticity, and transparency. The reason people want to be led by you is not because your special, but because you understand you’re not.

“Things change.” Yes, they do. And leaders who fail to absorb this concept into their core being are perfect candidates to be left behind the pack in a cloud of business dust. As change happens, we must change. We must adapt to new technologies, new theories, new business models, new people and attitudes – sometimes within weeks, or even a day.

I've done four Free CTO Consulting Sessions in the past month with startup founders who all had run into variations of the same problem. They didn't feel they had visibility into timelines and costs for development of their software. They couldn't plan their business. Investors and early customers were becoming worried about the ability of the founder to deliver.

Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth . I recently participated in a panel discussion about the future of the recruiting industry, and quite frankly, I was surprised with many of the prevailing attitudes and thoughts surrounding the topic at hand. As is often the case, I was the contrarian on the panel, and while I probably shouldn’t have been shocked, it was the fact most recruiters seemed to believe the status quo was fine, the future was bright, and they didn’t see the need for ch

Starbucker Graduates, 1982. Dear Business School Graduates of 1982: Congratulations! It’s graduation time, and I always get a bit nostalgic this time of year, remembering my good old days at college. For me, college was this cool utopia, where I had all the trappings of adulthood, but not quite all the responsibility that came with it. The professors tried to teach us as much as they could about business and #leadership, and in turn, I tried to absorb as much as I could.

“It’s one thing to become involved in the business world; yet, it’s a completely different level to start a thriving business in a country that lacks the financial assets and resources. To be innovative is to allow yourself to expose your mind to something amazing that has potential to change the world.” –Jessica Steinberg, Founder, Giveable Giggles, reflecting on her current experience in Argentina.

I’ve crafted The Extreme Leadership Summit to be something unique, something special, something…well…extreme. And it’s unlike any leadership or personal development “event” you’ve been to before. The Summit is not a pitch fest (where a bunch of speakers try to sell you stuff), and it’s not a parade of talking heads, to mix a metaphor, where you passively sit, watch the show, take notes, and go home.

Quite often in the role of a change agent, a change-related issue must be brought to the attention of people higher-up on the organization chart. A decision must be made, funds approved, change communicated or behaviors adopted, among many ways leaders must become involved in the change. When you are implementing change from the middle of an organization, often there is more than one layer of hierarchy to navigate.

Francois-Marie Arouet Voltaire, 1694-1778. In a conflict, it is often tempting to go on the attack in an effort to make your point. In fact, it’s a natural response to a situation you perceive as physically or emotionally threatening in some way. In most workplace situations, none of us will be in an imminent physical threat situation when we are in conflict.

Facebook is in the news again, drawing ire for making a switcharoo right under users noses. No communication (or perhaps one note that was ignored by most everyone), no buy-in, no reason. Just make a change and expect everyone to accept it and move on. Yet despite Facebook being held up as an example of what not to do, companies use the same approach to make organizational changes all the time.
