"Listen to understand and not to respond" - I almost have to mention this in my every other meeting . I plan to add a poster to that effect in all our meeting rooms. I can cut most of our meeting durations by half.

For most scenarios , I agree . However there are some situations where showing some emotion is key for 2 reasons.
1. Leader will come across as authentic
2. Faking emotion is stressful.

Speed is key competency in guiding transformations. I believe small constant changes will work for most scenarios for most organizations.

It,s performance appraisal time at my organization. I strongly believe annual evaluation should be replaced by continuous conversations over the course of the year for better performance .

Great . I hope the surveys will be anonymous. It will be interesting to see how company will share the the results and more importantly any action items for everyone in the company. Hearing and listening from employees is a good first step.

Showcase one's education to what is called "signal" effect . Ability to finish what they started. Then one can network/intern/not-for-profit roles to build up experience . I agree about preference towards experience, it's been the case for ages , though.

Expert and Referent power always goes together. In-fact expertise leads to Referent power in many cases. Though these are superior , one needs to watch out, as such powers can be used politically. Too many experts peddle their own agenda and indulge in politicking.
@JaredMag_UNO#mavorg
Good for you . It's rare to see Formal power is not much prevalent . Though Expert and referral are superior I feel they need to be combined with legitimate power based on position, else anarchy might rule.
Employees with strong internal networks tend to be high performers. I like the idea to form affinity groups” based on common interests such as golf or cycling is really a valuable one.

Starbucks incident of arresting African Americans this week from it's store for not buying anything while waiting for others to join, How much of it is related to Starbucks training vs underlying stereotypical bias that exists in society. I think it is 50-50

You are right, Aaron - even someone like Zuckerberg (founder) may not last long as CEO. Economy, technology and society in general are changing so fast it has effect on leadership too. Lateral move to Individual contributors will become more common and vice versa.
Working in a global company , audio conferences are a norm. One simple etiquette to navigate them. Stop interrupting and go on mute when not talking.

Communication skills are gaining more importance as number of communication channels and modes increase. Churchill example is a good one.

Unclear roles and responsibilities for individuals in an organization is actually manifestation of deeper issue. From my experience, it normally occurs because organization is unsure of it's future plans/objectives. MBO.

I heard on NPR that most US corporations , most performers raise to level of their incompetence. Promotion is based on performance in current role than abilities to perform in the next role. Peter Principle.

Providing verbal assurances to employees that they can do it increases self-efficacy .
Self-efficacy has maximum impact on new and especially young college grads starting on a new job. They can surprise themselves.

Mr. McGregor Theory Y provides a succinct framework for understanding motivation. Key is , The average human being learns wants to learn continuously. I think organizations should enable this aspiration of Humans.
