Considering it’s typically negative connotation, disruption is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of making change. Innovation, revolution, restructuring or even transformation maybe – but never disruption. It wasn’t until I came across a 1995 article from the Harvard Business Review describing the theory of disruptive innovation that I began to understand the allure of the phrase.

Somewhere in my literary travels a long time ago, I read a piece that theorized that most of us were neither introverts or extroverts. Instead, perhaps 80% of the population are ambiverts. Ambiverts have both tendencies; we can feel energized by hosting a party, and also can feel invigorated by an evening of reading by a crackling fire. Up until recently, most association meetings, whether they are conferences, board meetings, or chapter meetings, have been designed for extroverts.

This year I noticed a slight change in the flavor. The ingredients now list vegetable gum rather than just cream, sugar, and vanilla. This slow decline is probably inevitable, given the pressures on the business.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
