I am gratified to announce that I just beat my own record by spending a week in South Korea's sprawling megalopolis, finalizing an amazing global tour as part of the implementation of one of the largest HRIS projects in the world.

A quick search on Amazon.com indicates that there are more than 187,000 books with “leadership” or related words in the title. That’s a lot of content written on a single topic. However, the word “leader” has been applied to so many different areas of activity that it has become meaningless. Apart from political and military leaders, we have business leaders, market leaders, industry leaders, thought leaders, and so on.

Organizations understand that the onboarding process is important. I think the challenge is deciding what should be included. Companies grapple with balancing the “welcoming employee experience” part with the “legal and compliance” piece. During this year’s SilkRoad Connections Conference , Madeline Laurano, co-founder of Aptitude Research Partners , shared that an organization’s onboarding strategy should define the two touchpoints in the employee experience: pre-hire and post-hire.

Most of us go to bed thinking about the work that didn’t get done and the tasks that are still on the list instead of recognizing what went well and how we moved the needle forward , even if only a little. That makes sense, since humans are wired to focus on the negative. This is evolution’s way of keeping us alive. For CEO’s and leaders running organizations, it’s important to acknowledge this natural negative lean.

Years ago, I worked for a boss that had a daily habit of three Venti Starbucks. Early in the morning, he would walk by my office and if I was there, he would stick his head in the office and say, “Let’s get some coffee.” I attribute some of my fondness of Starbucks to these meetings. More importantly, I realized if I came into work early, I got uninterrupted quality time with my boss.

YES invites opportunity; NO closes the door on it. YES creates value; NO destroys it. YES is human. NO is mechanical. The leader who wants to build their business looks for ways to exchange mutual value with others; to find opportunities to respond to what others desire. To serve others in a way that will create long term relationships that prosper both the organization and the individual.

Let’s face it, most employees see a company retreat as a day off. To them it’s just a chance to get to know their co-workers, participate in a few team-building activities, and maybe down a glass of rosé (or five).
