How to Lead High Performing Teams Without a Strategy. As the final weeks of summer unfold, two trends bug me…

Experimentation is no longer an exclusive benefit for IT, R&D, or product teams. Failure is part of the journey.

I remember the 2015 conference call like it was yesterday: “You should cancel CLIC. DC traffic is going to be a mess.”

Dusty, fixed mindsets and planning models? They have gone the way of green eye shades. Experimentation and flexibility are de rigeur.

Transitions are different from change management. They refer to the internal mindsets and beliefs that we experience in response to change.

I never set out to reach 42,700 people in two days. I was simply fed up with the news feed and shared my frustration on LinkedIn last Saturday. The post went viral. I hope my experience gives you a new perspective—it has for me. Here’s what unfolded.

You can have the best product, the best tech stacks, and the best brand. But if your teams live on the brink of burnout, you’re operating in an unprofitable echo chamber.

When 1,382 people registered last week, I realized we had struck a nerve.
One of my long-time clients asked me to lead a webinar entitled “From Burnout to Balance: Three Priority Principles for Executive Success.”
Here’s why this topic matters right now—and why so many participated.

Join us for CLIC ’25 – C-Suite Leading Innovation Conference — May 8-9, 2025. Our theme: “The Art of Experimentation.”
You will meet peers from AARP, CoStar Group, First Heritage Mortgage, Junior Achievement, Harvard University, and more.

Still sitting on the sidelines with your generative AI policy and strategy? If so, your business might just be headed for “limited engagement” status, too.
