If you found a coin, would you give it to a person who approached you and said it was theirs? Would it make any difference if the person approaching you touched your arm when they made their request?

2013 was my year of learning to let go. I will admit that it was tough, I was successful some of the time, like a mother hen most of the time, gritting my teeth and trying not to take over things a lot of the time. I am, to all intents and purposes a control freak. Strike that… a recovering control freak.

Alice makes very quick decisions. Last year, she handled a crisis situation in her company so successfully that she was promoted to team leader. As leader, she always thinks ahead and in team meetings her conclusions come quickly. Often, she has to reverse decisions when more information is revealed. Team members know that some of these impulsive decisions are not going to work and have learned to come to her afterwards with alternative perspectives or ideas. This process involves time and energy on everyone’s part. Alice could resolve many of these situations by asking more questions before jumping to resolution. While her style works well in a crisis situation, it does not encourage learning or buy-in from implementers.

There is a scene in the movie the Cinderella Man which always inspires me. James J. Braddock is a boxer during the depression and he and his family are living in very tough times. They’re out of money. They’re out of food. He damaged his hand in a fight and was forced to search for work on the docks of New York until it healed. The lights are about to be shut off. The family is hungry.

I recently responded to an article posted on a social media website written by a prominent “performance” consultant that went viral. The article leads with the author’s suggestion that HR departments should disappear and that HR professionals may think they are strategic partners, but in reality the profession is filled with administrative “paper pushers” who don’t understand performance or how to drive it. The article continues to deride the entire discipline of an evolving segment of the workforce without paying homage to how HR has truly changed. After reading the article and many postings, I could not understand how the author dismissed the correlation of the Human Resources profession as a viable factor in driving corporate and organizational performance.

Business is more competitive than ever. Unpredictable markets, new technologies and shifting demographics are placing organizations under new pressures. Increasingly, leaders are being forced to exit their comfort zones, develop new competencies and take on greater challenges. New leaders must show initiative and quickly take charge of situations for which their training and experience may not have entirely prepared them.

IBM’s study, Capitalizing on Complexity: Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study, is part of a bi-annual series of interviews with 1500 senior leaders to get their perspective on the most pressing challenges to which they must respond in today’s competitive and economic environment. The need for innovation, often number one, dropped a notch in this study, as the leaders focus on a new issue: complexity. Almost 80% anticipated greater complexity ahead. This includes disruptions as well as new opportunities made available through increasingly interconnected economics, enterprises, societies and governments. Significantly, over 50% reported that they feel ill-prepared for today’s more complex environment!
