In a few cases they might have got there through ambition as much as talent, although a judicious combination of the two is more likely, and they are not always people with whom you would want to spend an evening in a bar. But once in situ, leaders' approaches to their role differ too much to make generalizations possible. This all provides fertile ground for experts examining leadership development.Practical implicationsProvides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.Social implicationsProvides strategic insights and practical thinking that can have a broader social impact.Originality/valueThe briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Why do firms measure performance? This seems, at first, a rather trite, facile question – “to assess how much money they can make, of course!” – however, the simplicity of the question masks a much more complex suite of answers. First, are measures used for internal or external purposes? Second, if they are internal, is it about efficiency, growth or scale of outputs? Third, if it is about scale, what areas are being judged for scale – human resources (HR) or profits, for example?

Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – The horror of the office Christmas party. The sheer terror of the Summer work barbecue. The unfathomable awfulness of the corporate celebration. Everyone has undergone these rituals and everyone tends to agree that they are forced, lacking in any spontaneity and often hugely embarrassing for all concerned. So why do the Human Resources consultants, training and textbooks all encourage firms to “celebrate success” and “bond” when the people these events are aimed at are cringing inside?

Key Questions

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds his/her own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The idea of mindfulness is certainly nothing new – indeed there is evidence that it has been followed to some degree for over 2,000 years. However, fast forwarding to the 21st Century when mindfulness is supposedly all the rage, there are two key questions as to whether it is truly effective, and the extent to which it is being effectively pursued by organizations as a way to develop and support their employees. What is clear to anyone that currently works in any modern organization is that those leading human resources (HR) strategy and departments are certainly aware of mindfulness and are perhaps to a greater or lesser degree in favor of its use – but the message may not be getting through.

To some degree that impression is right: von Oetinger is doubtlessly in favour of change and the book he co‐edited A Passion for Ideas: How Innovators Create the New and Shape the World delivers that message strongly. Yet what is more refreshing about what he writes is his concern not with why we should innovate but how it should best be approached.Practical implicationsProvides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.Originality/valueThe briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
