March 24, 2026 7 Key Tensions Every Leader Must Balance
7 Key Tensions Every Leader Must Balance
14 Jun 2024
---
In decades past, executives were usually taught to practice command-and-control leadership. Today they’re often advised to be more nimble, more adaptive, and less controlling. The truth is that most executives need to be able to move back and forth between those two leadership styles. IMD leadership professor and social psychologist Jennifer Jordan offers tactics for navigating these tensions.

The walls of Constantinople stood for a thousand years—until gunpowder changed everything. This isn’t just about history; it’s a metaphor for every leader relying on legacy strengths in a time of disruption. Are you mistaking past resilience for future security? Scott D. Anthony, professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, shares what every CEO and strategist should ask before the innovative disruptor's cannonballs start hitting their legacy walls.

March 23, 2026 How to Collaborate Effectively If Your Team Is Remote (The Explainer)
How to Collaborate Effectively If Your Team Is Remote (The Explainer)
6 Mar 2020
---
Coronavirus could force your team to work remotely. Here's how to do it right.
Why do remote teams demand new collaboration skills? What’s missing from our texts, emails, conference calls, and other digital communications? Body language. Even when we’re co-located, the tone of a text or the formality of an email is left wide open to interpretation, to the point that even our closest friends get confused. These misinterpretations create an anxiety that can become costly, affecting morale, engagement, productivity, and innovation.

Remote communication can distort the normal pace of our conversations. The delay between our messages can often postpone or hide emotional reactions to our comments. Lacking an immediate response, we can become distracted, second-guess ourselves, or even grow frustrated with our teams.

To perform at the highest levels, remote teams have to find new and better ways to operate.

How to Fire with Compassion (Quick Study)
2 Mar 2020
---
Firing needs to be handled well: the person you’re firing today could become a key contact or client tomorrow.
Firing is never easy, and shouldn’t be. But it is something a manager should strive to handle well. Building great teams requires picking the best talent and also removing talent that isn’t working out. Letting someone go is a painful process, but if done well, it won’t come as a surprise to them and you’ll set them up for success when they leave. Being compassionate during this process is key to building a lasting professional network.
Joel Peterson, chairman of JetBlue and an adjunct professor at Stanford, has fired plenty of people during his long career—and he’s been fired himself.
