How To Assess Poor Managers In Your Organization And Train Better Ones - Forbes

Recently, I was interviewed by Radhika Panjwani for the Canadian newspaper The Globe & Mail, exploring the topic of why promoting your star employee into a managerial role may not be a good idea, and can in fact lead to serious problems for the team and organization. Among other things, we discussed The Peter Principle – the idea that “in hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his/her level of incompetence,” which was made popular back in 1969 by Laurence J. Peter in his bestselling book, The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong.

As I shared in the interview, the challenge for many organizations is that there simply aren’t many people who are truly up to the task of effective, empowering leadership. Contrary to what people say today, everyone is not a leader, and certainly everyone is not a good one. Great leadership requires training and experience, as well as solid, constructive feedback about our approach, communication style, managerial focus and more. To be an effective leader who engenders trust and support and delivers great results, we also need emotional self-mastery and self-awareness, strong communication, healthy boundaries, a strategic mindset and a keen understanding that leading is not doing other people’s jobs for them.

From my view through coaching thousands of mid- to high-level professionals globally, a key initiative that is missing in today’s organizations is offering ongoing leadership training and guidance that builds a process of encouraging people to take on “stretch tasks” that help them prepare for leadership. That includes helping them engage in higher-level thinking, problem evaluation and solution, brainstorming and sharing their ideas to a wider, more senior audience, and thinking more strategically about how their role and tasks fit into the larger picture.

A Big Misconception About the World’s Greatest Infectious Killer - The Atlantic

The dogma that tuberculosis is lying dormant in the bodies of 2 billion people might be wrong.

Growing up in India, which for decades has clocked millions of tuberculosis cases each year, Lalita Ramakrishnan was intimately familiar with how devastating the disease can be. The world’s greatest infectious killer, rivaled only by SARS-CoV-2, Mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads through the air and infiltrates the airways, in many cases destroying the lungs. It can trigger inflammation in other tissues too, wearing away bones and joints; Ramakrishnan watched her own mother’s body erode in this way. The sole available vaccine was lackluster; the microbe had rapidly evolved resistance to the drugs used to fight it. And the disease had a particularly insidious trait: After entering the body, the bacterium could stow away for years or decades, before erupting without warning into full-blown disease.

This state, referred to as latency, supposedly afflicted roughly 2 billion people—a quarter of the world’s population. Ramakrishnan, now a TB researcher at the University of Cambridge, heard that fact over and over, and passed it down to her own students; it was what every expert did with the dogma at the time. That pool of 2 billion people was understood to account for a large majority of infections worldwide, and it represented one of the most intimidating obstacles to eradicating the disease. To end TB for good, the thinking went, the world would need to catch and cure every latent case.

Mike Grgich, Croatian immigrant who put Napa Valley on the world’s wine map in the ‘Judgement of Paris’, dies at 100 - Fortune

Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, a celebrated winemaker who helped establish Napa Valley as one of the world’s premier wine-making regions, has died. He was 100.

Grgich died in his sleep Wednesday morning at his home in Calistoga, California, according to his winery, Grgich Hills Estate.

Grgich was born on April 1, 1923, in Desne, Croatia. His father was a winemaker, and one of his earliest memories was stomping on the grapes at harvest time. At the age of 10, he left his village to live with his sister and further his schooling. His father’s parting words to him became his life’s mantra: “Every day do your best, learn something new and make a new friend.”
