Coping With Restructuring – #MTtalk Roundup

"Change is the heartbeat of growth." – Scottie Somers Company restructuring is one of those topics that's easy to theorize about. However, it's quite different if it's your organization that's restructuring. Part of my preparation for this week's Twitter chat was looking at the Mind Tools forums (where members share challenges, ask for input on […]

You Don't Have to be a Control Freak to Take Charge

As luck would have it, you're reading this blog. Or did you make a rational, informed choice to take a look, having browsed the Mind Tools website? What was the controlling force that landed you here? Only you can answer those questions. But "who's in control?" is a concept that has fascinated thinkers throughout history. And it continues to […]

Leading in Uncertain Times – #MTtalk Roundup

"The future is uncertain... but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity." – Ilya Prigogine, Nobel prize-winning chemist About This Week’s Chat  When I was driving to the office one morning, I heard on the radio that the bank I worked for had merged with three others.

#MTtalk: Disrupting the Hierarchy

Many years ago, when computers still had monochrome screens and could only run one program at a time, I worked in the property section of a bank. In those days, banks weren't known as being at the forefront of change. They often lagged behind when it came to changing systems and technology. My (then) husband worked […]

Take the Sting Out of Reorganization

The whispers have started. Daniel, who plays squash with Lorraine, the director of marketing's executive assistant, told Asha that the company's about to undergo a reorganization. It could result in it being downsized and streamlined. Four divisions will become three. Or was it two? Anyway, there'll be job losses across the board, maybe as early as […]

"Yes, I Will!" – the Power of a Promise

An early morning appointment seemed such a good idea when I booked it. What else would I be doing with that time, anyway? Probably setting up my workstation, eating a leisurely breakfast, and groaning at the sarcasm of Twitter. Yes, it was definitely the right decision to act quickly and firmly, to show that I […]

Choose Life, Choose Change, Make it Happen

I'm tired. Very tired... But much to my surprise, I'm also very happy. If you're turning green with envy, or puce with revulsion, at the prospect of me sharing an unfeasibly upbeat success story, don't worry. My rosy, if sleepy, glow is the result of some painful change over the last few years – and there's […]

How Can We Make Our Predictions Foolproof?

Nowadays, the pace at which life changes seems faster than ever. Trends come and go, technology changes (almost daily), and don't even get me started on politics! Sometimes it feels as though you need to be able to predict the future just to keep up with all these new changes. You could go on your […]

It's Just the Economy, Stupid!

We've highlighted how organizations are suffering because their senior leaders are too slow, or too unwilling, to drive innovation. Research showed that they're failing to use technology to achieve a competitive advantage and to become winners in the digital economy. But such is the pace of change of technological development that now, just a few months later, the term […]

Stop and Step Back From the Problem!

      Depending on how you view it, life is but a series of challenges to be overcome... How we approach and deal with these challenges determines the pattern and quality of our lives. Most of us are pretty adept at handling our challenges – the fact that the human race hasn't petered out […]
