Are Your Leaders Turning Your Employees Away?

A common theme has emerged in our work over the past few years, and it is not a positive trend: Younger employees who are smart, motivated, and have the potential and desire to do great work, are not looking up the corporate ladder with longing anymore. They want nothing to do with the work lives their bosses are living.

When to NOT Be Yourself As A Leader

A lot has to come together for your true authentic self to be the effective, right choice for your organization and team. Recently, I’ve found myself in a few separate situations with clients, senior leaders from large organizations, where I’ve recommended that they do NOT bring their authentic selves to work.

This List Makes Giving Feedback Easier

As the conversation moved from one topic to another, we eventually landed on the topic that nearly all of these types of conversations bump into: how can I be better at providing more real-time feedback in order to help people I work with achieve more?

How To Improve Communication Skills

We’re constantly communicating so much more than we even realize. There’s the obvious — any time we talk to people, text them, and the images we put on social media — and then the less obvious — our body language, the clothes we wear, and the style we choose. We are communicating whether we want to or not.

How To Tell Someone They Did A Bad Job

Feedback at work is a tricky, tricky thing. Most of the time we either aren’t honest enough, or we don’t deliver feedback in a way that will help someone grow.

Do Your Employees Want To Be Like You When They Grow Up?

Speaking of scary (other than the number of years between us), I’ve noticed a trend in their experience of work and how they view their futures at the companies where they’re gainfully employed: they want nothing to do with the work lives their bosses are living.

When You Have To Fire Someone

“Hire slow, fire fast.” Have you ever heard that? Take your time with hiring, so you make sure that any potential employees are really right for your team. And when someone you’ve hired isn’t working out, get them out quickly. But firing someone isn’t as simple as that.

Why CEOs Are Afraid To Ask For Help

If you’re a CEO, you’re probably known for a lot of things– decisiveness, a compelling vision for the future, tenacity, great yacht-buying skills– yet you’ve likely never been noted for your vulnerability.
