A major concern for senior executives is "bench strength"-that is, the quantity and quality of up-and-coming, potential leaders who are in the pipeline. The problem is that too often these would-be leaders "hold back, shrink and play small." One CEO recently said, "The potential leaders in our pipeline need to show up, step up, and increase their leadership impact."
True. An organization is only as strong as its leadership.
In today's climate of unprecedented change, intense competition and more demanding customers, leaders can't hold back or shrink. Team members need leadership to model the way because all they see in this modern-day complexity is uncertainty and that leads to anxiety. Team members are looking to leadership for certainty, definitive guidance, vision and a solid commitment. This is an opportunity for leadership impact.

When baby boomers took their first "real" jobs upon entering the workforce, their demands and expectations were ridiculously low by today's standards. On their first day on the job they got an employee handbook that they took home and scanned while eating dinner or watching TV. Company training, if there was any, was minimal.
For the most part, they accepted the idea that it was normal to feel ignorant and unskilled in the first weeks or months on a new job. They expected to "learn the ropes" by making mistakes.
When it came to promotions, most boomers were equally willing to proceed by trial and error. Nobody told them, "Here is just what you need to do to get ahead in our company . . . here is the next position we'll be considering you for." One day in the hazy future, they hoped that their bosses would call them in and say, "We just gave you a promotion . . . you may leave early and take the family to dinner to celebrate."
Was there feedback? Of course, there was. There were quarterly, semiannual, or yearly job reviews that usually followed the script, "Here's what you've been doing wrong, here's where you need to improve-so do it, session over."
In short, many baby boomers were happy to toil away in black boxes, learning jobs and building careers in a loose way that would seem absurd to the members of today's younger millennial workforce.

Change vs. Transformation-Know the Difference
Think back to your earliest memories of watching television. If you're of a certain age, you may have had only a handful of channels from which to choose-not to mention wrestling with rabbit ears or risking your neck to climb on the roof to attach an antenna-and let's not forget getting out of your chair every time you wanted to change the channel. We did have a sense of choice, but we all seemed to watch the same shows anyway.
Then came cable and satellite television. Not only were your viewing choices vastly expanded with hundreds of shows to watch, but reception headaches were a thing of the past.
Fast forward to present day. Cable and satellite subscriptions are plummeting. Instead, more and more consumers are opting for streaming services and other options with a greater range of choice and cost flexibility. Moreover, they're accessing them on devices other than the living room TV. Laptops, tablets and mobile devices of all types are part of the mix, particularly among millennials, many of whom have yanked the plug on cable or satellite or, for that matter, never signed up for them in the first place.
