Now that the Chicago Cubs have ended their 108-year World Series drought, we can take lessons from the team formerly known as America's lovable losers. Perseverance is not the only trait individuals and companies can draw from the Cubs' success. Veteran catcher David Ross, known among his teammates as "Grandpa Rossy," was widely credited with providing mentorship to the young club, something that holds value for organizations beyond sports.

"How does one just go back to a normal routine when the most abnormal experience just occurred? Well, probably clumsily," says Gina Moffa, a private-practice psychotherapist and Clinical Director of the Addiction Institute of New York at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Asking for mental health days or work-from-home opportunities can provide a safe environment while easing back into your daily tasks. Having emotions at work doesn't make workers weak.

When it comes to organizational change, failure continues to be more common than success. In a survey of nearly 3,000 executives about the success of their enterprise transformation efforts, McKinsey discovered the failure rate to be higher than 60 percent, while Harvard Business Review conducted a study that suggested more than 70 percent of transformation efforts fail.

Employees want and need feedback on their performance in real time. Dr. Marhsall Goldsmith says that most feedback focuses on past behavior rather than the possibility of performance improvement in the future. Once-a-year assessments tend to pinpoint bad behavior while overlooking gradual improvements in performance.
How managers give feedback can encourage or discourage employee engagement. Employees might misinterpret even the highest praise for their work if given in a condescending voice, with dismissive body language or with unpleasant facial expressions.

But there's more to being a leader than having "manager," "director" or "vice president" in your title. And conversely, you don't have to have one of those titles to be a leader.
