The concept of a beginner’s mindset comes from Zen Buddhism and the word Shoshin, translated as looking at every situation as if you are seeing it for the first time. With the world changing as rapidly as it is, we’re seeing things for the first time almost every day. Yet it can be our nature

Five years ago, Joe Walsh struggled with the number of people leaving the employ of small business software provider Thryv Holdings, where he has served as CEO since 2014. Many employees grumbled about the 45-minute commute to the public company’s Dallas, Texas, headquarters, their eyes open for better job opportunities elsewhere. “I remember saying to
Talent retention is a critical component of organizational growth, and with prominent headlines about the “Great Resignation,” this concern is top of mind for many leaders. How can you know if your top performers are considering a new opportunity? More importantly, how can you persuade them to stay? While zero turnover is unrealistic and undesirable,
As a General Motors Supply Chain leader for over 25 years and now a small business owner, my experience has proven that successful operating fundamentals are the same, no matter the size of the company. For both General Motors and Classic Auto LLC, this means optimizing data, capacity, and processes in order to find, satisfy,
The conversation around the Great Resignation is not letting up and for good reason. The severity of the news varies by industry and role (mid-career technology and healthcare workers are reported to be leaving most). But however your organization is classified, maintaining a roster of excellent team members is important to its health and resiliency.
The “Great Resignation” is a signal that the balance of power is shifting toward employees, and the pendulum won’t be swinging back any time soon. Americans are increasingly prioritizing personal happiness and the search for purposeful work over jobs that simply pay the bills. As a result, employers like you must adapt to survive. Job
The events of the last two years were unexpected, painful experiences shared uniquely by so many around the world – at the same time. They have forced us to ask a lot of really big questions, pivot on a dime and reassess life on the regular. This time of widespread questioning (and subsequent reassessment) might
For B2B companies, being metaverse-ready means building the capability to digitally engage with customers in a multi-person immersive environment. Imagine getting ten customers from their offices (or homes) all over the world to engage simultaneously in a digital workspace where they participate actively to discover the value of your solutions in the context of their
In their plans to “get back to the office,” companies continue to be thwarted by runaway Omicron, the ease of remote working and the demands of employees in the wake of the pandemic. Through it all, CHROs and CEOs are trying to fashion plans for the future of proximity that can stand up to whatever
In my years advising and working alongside Fortune 500 CEOs, Presidential appointees, and other C-Suite executives, I’ve seen many talented individuals fall into the trap of being defined solely by their position, rather than their legacies of amazing outcomes. When they departed their jobs, they were surprised that their calls were not as promptly returned
Asking for Referrals is often a completely underutilized strategy as part of business development for an organization. If the referral strategy is incorporated, it is often done well by only a few individuals but never across the whole business. Managers of teams often do not inspire their teams to ask for referrals or guide them
“I don’t see how we can replace the serendipitous idea generation of hallway conversations. If we don’t return to the office full-time, we’re going to lose out to rivals who do so and gain the benefits of serendipity.” That’s what Saul, the Chief Product Officer of a 1,500-employee enterprise software company, told me at his
CEOWORLD magazine has revealed its annual list of the most influential CEOs and Business Executives in the world. The issue features CEOs and top business executives, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Tech honchos like Apple CEO Tim Cook, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. Unsurprisingly, Tim Cook came first in the CEOWORLD magazine’s global ranking
It’s often said that “people don’t leave companies, they leave managers.” So if you’re seeing significant turnover in a team—or among your direct reports—then the source of the issue probably sits with you, the leader, not the team. I have found that if you want to build engagement that lasts, you need to work on

Chris Brogan, author, keynote speaker, Chief of Staff to the CEO of Appfire, and an all-around good guy, began a practice in 2006 that I’ve always admired. It’s called My Three Words. I have not always adopted it consistently over the years, but when I have, I found it to be everything Chris suggests it
Although the Covid-19 pandemic has created a negative impact on society and the world economy, CEOs are more optimistic than ever compared to the last 10 years. This is the conclusion reached by the 25th annual PwC CEO’s annual report. The survey was conducted with the participation of 4,446 CEOs from 89 countries during the
Warren Buffett is a successful American business magnate, one who has invested in multiple and various successful business lines operating locally and internationally. According to CEOWORLD magazine Billionaire’s Index, Buffett is ranked as the top 10 wealthiest people in the world with a net worth of about US$111 billion. His high net worth reflects his
Let me share my recent experience at an Apple Store in Connecticut: The story begins with my daughter giving me a brand new iPhone which she had purchased via a contract upgrade (never used, still in the shrink-wrap). This was right about at the time when COVID hit the world. Not interested in finding a
The pandemic has upended the talent world. There are two forces at play. First, unlike previous workforce upheavals, this one has been led by employees choosing to part ways with their employers, not by employers paring their headcount. The “frozen in time” nature of the pandemic has caused many to reflect on their career paths.
