For reasons not worth getting into, this past week I was reminded of a decade-old HBS discussion entitled “ How Much of Leadership Is About Control, Delegation, or Theater? ”. The original discussion was prompted by a claim from Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeffer that leaders explain only 10% of a company’s performance. From the article: As employees, we expect it of our leaders.

Evil HR Lady

While the UN says that her stint as an Ambassador was meant to be short, it also comes in response to a petition asking that she be removed. Here is an excerpt from the petition. The bold is in the original. It is alarming that the United Nations would consider using a character with an overtly sexualized image at a time when the headline news in United States and the world is the objectification of women and girls.

Remember the letter-writer who manager and other colleagues were urging her to tell the CEO how bad a coworker was who he wanted her take an internal job working for? Here’s the update. First, I wasn’t forced into taking the job, though it was a real possibility that the CEO could have insisted. While we are a distribution subsidiary of a much larger retail company, there are around 300 employees on this site under our CEO, and he has swapped people in and out of jobs before when he was on a reorganization kick.

I’ve said this many times and I’ll likely say it a million times more during my career. That is, “the world in which we live, play and do business in is constantly changing and evolving”. Technology and a global marketplace are the 2 biggest factors influencing the workplace, among many others. Humans hate change; we know this to be true, even if the change may be perceived to be positive.

It drives everything about how the employee feels while at work.
