    - The Dilemma: While most leaders understand their most reliable competitive advantage comes from their people, few know how to get their teams "all in"—convincing employees to buy into the strategy they've put forward. If a culture is clear, positive, and strong, then people will believe what they do matters and that they can make a difference. If a culture is dysfunctional—chaotic, combative or indifferent—employees will spend more time thinking about why the people sitting next to them should be fired than getting fired up themselves.

  • Carrots 2.0: How today's managers use recognition to engage their people, retain talent, and accelerate performance

    - The Dilemma: Most managers want to create cultures where their teams achieve above-and-beyond results, but for a culture to really take off teammates must encourage each other on a daily basis.
