The 5 Elements of a Strong Leadership Pipeline, by Josh Bersin @Josh_Bersin in HBR.org
Investments in traditional leadership development are often misguided and a waste of money. It’s not that development itself isn’t important. In a Deloitte study of 7,000 organizations this year, 89% of executives rated “strengthening the leadership pipeline” an urgent issue. That’s up from 86% last year, and the trend makes sense. Organizations are continuously promoting people into management, and those new leaders struggle with the transition. To help them in their new roles, companies spend almost $14 billion a year on courses, books, videos, coaches, tests, and executive education programs — and such spending rose 10% last year…
Why You Need To Create Something Every Day, by Chriss Dessi in Inc.com
This afternoon I had a compelling conversation with a dear friend of mine. I’m lying. It wasn’t a compelling conversation. It wasn’t really a conversation; it was more of a lecture. And it wasn’t particularly compelling at all. It was kind of boring. It was extremely one sided advice (I did most of the talking). He needed to hear it. I think you need to hear it too.

Why you secretly think you work harder than all your coworkers, by Art Markman@abmarkman in FastCompany.com
Chances are there was a point—maybe there were several—in the past year when you found yourself sitting angrily at your desk wondering why you had to do so much of the work yourself. You silently cursed your colleagues under your breath as you polished off yet another aspect of that big project. If it weren’t for you, you thought, the entire office might collapse under the combined weight of all its slackers. The same thing might happen at home, too.
