Skip Prichard Leadership Insights
I was only a kid. For some reason, I found myself with adults much of the time. Never one to shy away from controversy (that is still true), I overheard a conversation and jumped right into a debate. Opinionated, full of facts and seemingly knowing the answers, I launched into my arguments. I don't even recall what they were and only vaguely remember the subject.

Exit interviews are usually perfunctory and meaningless for two reasons: departing employees don't really care to provide insight to a company they're leaving, and organizations tend to brush off these remarks.

Bruce Kasanoff writes: In his now classic 1990 work, Psychological Conditions of Personal Engagement and Disengagement at Work, psychologist William Kahn made the case that three psychological conditions — when present — encouraged individuals to fully engage at work.

Nobody is perfect. We all have things we need to work on to improve our skills, and this is especially true of business leaders. Unfortunately, many fail when promoted to a leadership position.
