Great Leaders & Their Environments
Is leadership the product of the person or the place? One camp says it’s the force of the individual. Through a combination of genetics and experience, some are leaders. And leaders act upon circumstances, make the market, revolutionize the industry, jump the trend....Leading the Business of Law Firms
More jokes have been told about lawyers than any other professionals. But the business of law firms is no joke. $250 billion a year in the US, and Washington gets more than its fair share of the bounty. For the last 50 years law firms have done astonishingly well....Finding the Next Generation of Leaders
Economics tells us that supply swiftly follows demand. If we need something, free enterprise ramps up to provide it. The operation of markets is a wonderful thing to behold. Efficient and effective, the system fills voids in a true and timely matter. Markets work...Beneath the Floor: Bringing Best Leadership Practices to Congressional Offices
Congress is often accused of failing to execute the business of the nation either effectively or efficiently. This might be true when it comes to matters of legislation, but I’m not here to critique the machinations of party politics.

Conventional wisdom holds that during tough times—such as today’s feeble, disheartening economic climate—the lines between right and wrong blur. Reliably decent people, whether on the street or in the boardroom, find the compromising conditions in which they live...Scared to Death: What Leaders Really Need To Know About Resistance to Change
(This paper was co-authored with Jon Raelin) When people say that organizational change scares them to death, they’re not kidding. Change means loss—whether it’s loss of colleagues, routines, or benchmarks. And loss reminds us of the ultimate one, life itself....A State of Organizational Grace
To be in a state of grace is to be absolved of sin. To repent is to be exonerated, and to atone is to be pardoned. To err is human, and to forgive is divine. It is the most revered sacrament because it encourages us to look forward, not backward. Odd start for a...Gimme Shelter: Soaked by Organizational Change
A spring morning in Washington. Walking home from dropping my son at preschool—just two blocks from home—and it started to storm. Scattered clouds and high winds conspired to violently burst into rain and thunder. Waterfall-like sheets poured and shuddering booms...Video Lessons
