PowerUP Brilliance™ - New book for innovation leaders to sharpen adaptive can...Merom Klein
Power Up Brilliance gives take-charge innovation leaders a proven formula to lift teams above fear and complacency – because you can't do innovation unless you sell innovation, even when the easy obvious conventional answers won't get your enterprise to the next level. Surveys say that Fortune 1000 CEOs demand brilliance and creativity from their stars — but stars often find it too hard and frustrating to wrestle down the key issues and champion innovation. Despite what is emblazoned in their credos and core values, many enterprises have a bias against creativity that rewards mediocrity and conformity and makes it hard for innovators to get traction. Power Up Brilliance gives leaders a proven 5-part formula to bring out truly great thinking from other cubicles across the hall or from other centers of excellence around the globe. It says, “If you ‘get it’ and ‘see it,’ the mantle of leadership passes to you — no matter where you sit on the formal hierarchy.” The question is whether you’ll find the courage to take that mantle – and inspire courage in others when your great ideas shake their world. The 5 Courage Activators described in this book have 10+ years of solid research behind them, from Israel's innovation hotbed dozens of other success stories. Despite its research base, this is not an academic book. It’s a practical “how-to” guide, written about business leaders for business leaders - about the uphill climb that is inevitable when you have a unique brilliant perspective on innovation and when you step in, reach out and try to power up brilliance in others. Whether you are a middle manager, a project orchestrator, a technical expert or “the big boss,” Power Up Brilliance gives you tools that you can use right away to seize promising opportunities, wrestle down real issues, mobilise the right people and achieve breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements.

Do women or men make better leaders?
Recently, McKinsey republished an article from 1976 entitled ‘ Sex bias – still in business ’ with the following 2014 introduction:
Despite much talk of equal opportunity for women, discrimination persists in business. This 1976 McKinsey Quarterly article, part of a series celebrating our 50th anniversary, shows how companies should correct disparities that are illegal, immoral, and bad for business.
Curious as to how a 38 year old article could offer fresh and relevant insights into a subject close to my heart, I sat down with keen anticipation to read it. My enthusiasm was quickly dispelled by tedium and increasing frustration. The article was too predictable. It gave a prescription of organisational measures to create greater opportunities for women, but the only reason it gave for doing so was ‘unfairness’ and the need to conform with legislation. I struggled to understand why McKinsey were bothering to republish it in 2014 – it certainly did not provide thought leadership..
Whilst the right of women to equal opportunities is undeniable there are even more positive and compelling reasons to advance their role in business. Ask yourself whether ‘the fairer sex’ or ‘the testosterone-fuelled sex’ are likely to fare better on the following, research-validated characteristics of Top 1% companies:
• Decisions, which can occasionally be bold and radical, are made on the basis of quiet, calm insight and understanding, not bravado.
• There is an holistic culture with a long-term, nurturing perspective and a recognition of the constant need to improve and to learn, personally and collectively.
• Staff regard the company as if it was their family and describe it with affection as an open, honest and supportive environment in which standards are high, but everyone’s contribution is valued.

Overall, the document emphasizes that strong leadership requires making difficult choices, prioritizing people over processes, and inspiring others through optimism and clarity of vision.

Retrospettiva Ubuntera 2004-2010: Agilità come vantaggio competitivo? Breve panoramica sulle metodologie Agili e analisi degli elementi di differenziazione di Ubuntu.
General Colin Powell provides lessons on leadership based on his experience. In the first lesson, he argues that being a responsible leader sometimes means making difficult decisions that upset people, but avoiding tough choices to avoid conflict is a sign of mediocrity. The second lesson states that leaders must be accessible to their subordinates and address their problems, otherwise the subordinates will lose confidence in the leader. The third lesson advises leaders to not be swayed by experts and elites who can become detached from reality.
Every institution is vulnerable to decline, regardless of past success. The document outlines five stages of institutional decline: 1) Hubris born of success, 2) Undisciplined pursuit of more, 3) Denial of risk and peril, 4) Grasping for salvation, and 5) Capitulation to irrelevance or death. It argues that decline can be harder to detect in early stages but easier to cure, while later stages are easier to detect but harder to cure. Reversing decline requires addressing the root causes at each stage through disciplined actions that add up over time, rather than searching for silver bullet solutions.
This document contains 18 lessons on leadership from General Colin Powell. Some of the key lessons include: being responsible sometimes means upsetting people; the day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them; don't be afraid to challenge experts, even in their own backyard; perpetually optimism is a force multiplier; and command is lonely as the buck stops with the leader. The document emphasizes that good leadership involves tough decisions, accessibility, challenging the status quo, attention to details, prudent risk-taking, and surrounding oneself with talented people.
This document discusses the importance of leadership and rebuilding trust in organizations. It notes a decline in trust in both private and public sector leaders. To rebuild trust, leaders must focus on credibility, which is built through transparency, diversity of input, empathy, and focusing on how decisions are made, not just outcomes. The document provides several suggestions for leadership, including getting outside the organization to understand frontline perspectives, being willing to disrupt the status quo, focusing on culture and values, and making a meaningful difference.
The document discusses key concepts for taking a company from good to great. It discusses the importance of level 5 leadership, which focuses on the company rather than the individual leader. It also emphasizes the need to first get the right people on the team before deciding on strategy ("first who, then what"). Companies must also confront the brutal facts of reality and maintain faith that they can prevail. The hedgehog concept involves focusing on what a company can be best at and is passionate about. A culture of discipline with the right people can avoid bureaucracy and sustain great results.
4 the not so trivial pursuit of full alignmentmikegggg
This document discusses the importance of organizational alignment and the dangers of misalignment. It argues that misalignments, if left unaddressed, can grow and seriously undermine an organization's performance, efficiency and ability to adapt. The document identifies some common sources of misalignment, such as misaligned expectations, capabilities, responsibilities and goals. It stresses that leaders have a responsibility to identify and resolve misalignments in order to build high-performing organizations.
The document discusses the lack of gender diversity in senior leadership roles in Canadian corporations despite 25 years of focus on advancing women. While women make up 48% of the workforce, only 36.5% of lower managers, less than 18% of top executives, less than 14% of boards, and 6% of CEOs are women. This lack of diversity represents a competitive disadvantage as research shows the most successful companies have diverse leadership that incorporates multiple perspectives. The authors argue that true change requires leadership that values diversity and holds teams accountable through transparent processes rather than just counting women or focusing on tactics. Leaders must uncover and address underlying biases to create lasting cultural change at all levels of an organization.
General Colin Powell provides lessons on leadership in a document containing 12 lessons. Some of the key points made in the lessons include: being responsible as a leader means making difficult decisions that will upset some people; real leaders make themselves accessible to address problems rather than building barriers; leaders should not be afraid to challenge experts and established ways of thinking; and a leader's optimism is powerful in motivating others.
4 the devastating cost of bias in leadershipmikegggg
- Bias is a major problem for business leaders that can cripple their ability to lead effectively. It comes in many forms that are often hidden.
- The article discusses five main types of biases that affect leaders: action-oriented bias, interest bias, pattern-recognition bias, stability bias, and social bias. These biases can cause leaders to make poor decisions, miss important insights, and avoid necessary risks or conflicts.
- Overcoming bias requires leaders to acknowledge its presence, seek diverse perspectives, and cultivate an open and objective culture where different ideas can be challenged. Bias left unchecked can destroy potential and undermine organizational performance.
