Artwork: Adam Ekberg , Untitled , 2009, ink-jet print Managers moving up in an organization need a new set of competencies. How Managers Become Leaders by Michael D. Watkins Leadership Is a Conversation by Boris Groysberg and Michael Slind Leadership Development in the Age of the Algorithm by Marcus Buckingham About the Spotlight Artist Each month we illustrate our Spotlight package with a series of works from an accomplished artist. We hope that the lively and cerebral creations of these photographers, painters, and installation artists will infuse our pages with additional energy and intelligence to amplify what are often complex and abstract concepts. This month we showcase Adam Ekberg, a photographer who lives in Chicago. His work—often set in his own apartment—explores the relationship between seeming opposites, such as solitude and celebration. “When two such signifiers coexist in a photograph, they do not subvert one another but heighten each other,” he says.
