Let’s be real. The biggest mistake managers make when developing their people is that they don’t spend enough time doing it. Or, even worse, aren’t spending any time at all. The fact that you’re reading this indicates that you care, and are trying. Even imperfect development beats what many employees telling me they’re getting–nada.

My guess is that your answer is less than half or at least “not enough of them.”. Delivering on strategic initiatives on time, every time, is the hallmark of organizations that are best in the world at executing strategy, and they’re rewarded with a premium put on the value of their company. Organizations that can’t deliver on their strategic initiatives fail at executing their strategy, and organizations that fail at executing strategy will not survive.

Note: Today I’m pleased to present a preview excerpt from my book manuscript of “More Human: A Journey To The Heart Of Great Leadership” It’s a personal story illustrating the importance of knowing the time for leaders to “let go” of control, and to pass the torch to new and deserving leaders, a process I call “leading your way out of a job” Names have been changed for the privacy of those involved in the story.

My client, Laura, had invited me in to observe the spectacle. I watched as she carefully articulated her research findings and presented her “no brainer” suggestions to Mark. Each time Laura’s ideas were met with a similar response, “thanks so much,” followed by a bogus reason of why the idea wouldn’t work. The conversation was the equivalent of Laura saying, “I’d like to give you 100 bucks.

Sometimes you have these awesome insights. A few days ago I got an idea for how to improve index building in Annoy. For anyone who isn’t acquainted with Annoy – it’s a C++ library with Python bindings that provides fast high-dimensional nearest neighbor search. Annoy recursively builds up a tree given a set of points. The algorithm so far was: at every level, pick a random hyperplane out of all possible hyperplanes that intersect the convex hull given by the point set.

I was deeply worried that my Dad was right, there would be no way I could hold it together to sing at my Mom’s funeral. I envisioned myself as a weepy mess at the front of the church. But for me, singing is a prayer, and after the hundreds of concerts my parents attended to support me over the years, not singing felt wrong. I’m normally not a stage fright kind of girl, I always love a good microphone.

Annoy is a C++/Python package I built for fast approximate nearest neighbor search in high dimensional spaces. Spotify uses it a lot to find similar items. First, matrix factorization gives a low dimensional representation of each item (artist/album/track/user) so that every item is a k-dimensional vector, where k is typically 40-100. This is then loaded into an Annoy index for a number of things: fast similar items, personal music recommendations, etc.

As we have noted in the past, “The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from” teaches Andrew S. Tanebaum in his classic text on Computer Networks. This adage is especially true when it comes to cybersecurity. We encounter so many standards in the corporate world that in so many cases they become totally ineffective. This is an area requiring continued technical leadership or it will have little impact.
