Those habits are motivated by clear principles, reinforced by congruent systems, and modeled by leaders across the organization. Rather than mistaking priorities for strategies, we work with clients to see through the behavior change that yields the culture they’re looking for. View Leadership Solutions Case Study: Microsoft As detailed in the Harvard Business Review, Microsoft remade its leadership framework with the brain in mind—going from exhaustive detail to essential principles.

Talent & Performance The conventional wisdom says that performance comes down to how employees are rated and paid. But the science suggests that it’s really a matter of the quality of conversations being had. That’s because conversation is the linchpin of performance, connecting everything from goal setting to everyday feedback to career conversations, from talent strategy down to manager capability. View Talent & Performance Solutions Research Feedback is traditionally given and structured. This makes feedback a threatening situation — and as new experimental research shows, it’s uncomfortable for the giver and receiver. This leads to more imprecise feedback, given less. The switch: getting to a culture of asking for feedback. Working with NLI, Microsoft has started the journey — and it’s already creating huge changes in the tech giant.
