I often take people, places or companies or even departments, places where they didn't think they needed to go or wanted to go. But when they get the results that they hadn't expected and when those results are something that we're all proud of, and it really makes a difference with people in their lives, it's worth the experience. https://www.poseyassociates.com/blog/the-right-pace-the-right-message monthly 0.5 2026-10-21 https://www.poseyassociates.com/blog/what-the-best-boards-do monthly 0.5 2026-10-21 https://www.poseyassociates.com/blog/video-actor-in-context monthly 0.5 2026-10-21 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9147835a13e35b03599eb/e1ffbbf2-797e-4157-b3b3-56a8d97e3fd8/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9147835a13e35b03599eb/e1ffbbf2-797e-4157-b3b3-56a8d97e3fd8/thumbnail High-Performance Insights - Video: Actor in Context Transcript: If you turn me upside down and you shake me, this comes out: Actor in Context. I don't do generalities. We delve into that person or that team, their identity and what they need… As an actor. Where? In this context. And when you're dealing with change, the context is changed. So now we got to kind of put those together, you know, to get the solution we're looking for. A lot of what I do is appreciative inquiry. A lot of what I do is listening, asking questions that came at the advantage of both those perspectives. https://www.poseyassociates.com/blog/balancing-human-judgment-and-ai-decision-making monthly 0.5 2026-10-21 https://www.poseyassociates.com/blog/video-scenario-planning monthly 0.5 2026-10-21 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9147835a13e35b03599eb/5230b36f-0278-44f5-bf62-e5c50ead5d4b/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9147835a13e35b03599eb/5230b36f-0278-44f5-bf62-e5c50ead5d4b/thumbnail High-Performance Insights - Video: Scenario Planning Scenarios really speak to me.

Duck! Part 2 A poorly timed joke. A reaction. A room full of tension. We've seen how an unplanned, unscripted opening derailed talks.

We start this new Foibley series with a look at lessons learned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9147835a13e35b03599eb/cecdf81a-9cfb-40a0-b1c9-832fd84a2fa2/LOOK+OUT%21+DUCK%21+TWO++++Strip+2.jpg Foibley Cartoons - Look out! Duck! Part 2 A poorly planned opening to high-stakes discussions is a bad move. But leaders can react in ways that still move talks forward. Here we learn how a bad joke became a sort of release valve - eventually reducing tensions. And we see the beginnings of a new working relationship taking shape in an unexpected way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9147835a13e35b03599eb/eed251e0-62f0-49d1-8b8c-11d964e85144/LOOK+OUT%21+DUCK%21+TWO+Strip+3.jpg Foibley Cartoons - Look out!
