Leaders Must React
Leaders Must React
To be successful, CEOs must articulate a compelling vision, align people around it, and motivate them to execute it. But there’s one thing that can make or break them: how they respond in real time to unforeseen events. On average, addressing unexpected issues—which range from fluctuations in stock price, to just-discovered product flaws, to major accidents and crises—consumes 36% of a CEO’s time. That’s a big proportion, and not all those problems merit a leader’s attention. To help CEOs understand which ones they truly need to focus on, Nohria, the former dean of Harvard Business School, has created a framework that sorts events into four categories—normal noise, clarion calls, whisper warnings, and siren songs—and offers guidance on how leaders should handle each type.

Why Real-Time Leadership Is So Hard
Why Real-Time Leadership Is So Hard
Do you sometimes feel stuck as a leader, while at other times everything seems effortless? The explanation often lies in your own psychological state. When you’re in the zone, you express yourself naturally, venture beyond the familiar to pursue ambitious goals, embody your highest values, and embrace learning—and can accomplish extraordinary things. But four common stumbling blocks can prevent you from entering it: the misperceptions that there are no alternatives, that there is no hope, that there is no time, and that there is no need for leadership. Those misperceptions can be overcome, however, if you ask the right questions and follow a handful of practices designed to open your mind to a world of possibilities.

5 Ways Executives Can Manage Conflict with the Board
5 Ways Executives Can Manage Conflict with the Board
High stakes, strong wills, and increasing uncertainty can make decisions at the top of your organization fraught. The backing of a board can mobilize an organization, but a significant divergence of vision and values may lead the board to stall progress on an organization’s highest priorities — and even unseat a CEO. Executives must proactively and productively make covert disagreements overt and foster a healthy dialog with board members. First, they must be the thermostat in the room, raising tough topics and pushing productive conversations. Second, they must inform the room of a full situation and its status early and often. Third, they must identify and break down early signals of conflict among members. Fourth, they must keep the long view in mind, even in a short-term crisis. Finally, they must avoid polarities in decision-making, encouraging all members to consider the upsides and downsides of all options.
