Picture a star player picked first in the draft and then immediately sat on the bench to wait out a few seasons while they get the lay of the land. It sounds ridiculous, but the same thing happens in organizations all the time.  Companies assign a new hire with great potential for contribution and future [...]

We’ve all experienced a boss who takes to yelling, pounding tables, or glowering when something doesn’t go well or meet their expectations. Leaders who resort to these displays probably think that they’re communicating their displeasure in a way that will motivate team members to do better. But it usually has the opposite effect.  If someone [...]

Are We Helping Our Team to Grow?

2021-06-09T05:43:38+00:00

There is no question that being a successful leader requires the ability to manage. It’s unfortunate that managing is often seen as the limit of a leadership role — when it’s only a fraction of the job.  For example, simply maintaining a given level of production can be a false sense of stability for a [...]

A Meeting Agenda Is a Leadership Message

2021-05-27T17:07:58+00:00

Wandering meetings that never seem to end cause boredom and anxiety in the office. Add to that the reality that meetings are quite expensive because of the collective time spent attending them.
