The top 7 mistakes leaders make
Here are 7 mistakes that I think are showing up most right now that have the greatest impact (aka, disengage and frustrate employees the most).
Productivity is plunging. Why?
What’s the reason for this recent severe drop in productivity in 2022? Employees? The pandemic? The labor shortage? Dysfunctional leaders?
Why most attempts at behavior change fail
Initiating behavior change is hard! The word “hard” is probably a severe understatement. What you truly need is your own buy-in and clarity around what the implications will be if you don’t make the change.
Best practices for onboarding new employees
I don’t know about you, but in my 14+ years of working in the corporate world, I only experienced excellent onboarding in one job. Every other job though? Hot messes! I was consistently sent into the fire and told to “figure it out” as I go.
Why development for leaders and employees is so ambiguous – what it is and how to move forward with it
I often find that companies have no idea where to start when it comes to development for leaders & professionals. Ambiguity around development should not be a reason that you don’t move forward with it.
Clients or employees? Who gets priority?
Everywhere I’ve worked has prioritized customers and clients on a pedestal above everyone else. I’ve had bosses and potential bosses cancel meetings & interviews last-minute due to client ‘fire drills’ (needless to say – I am skeptical of who was placing the urgency on these tasks).
Employers can’t fix what they don’t understand
Often, there is a large disconnect between leaders and ‘on the ground’ levels of organizations. As people start to move up in the organization, they start to prioritize their focus on the higher levels and they lose sight of something very crucial: the true pulse of the organization.
3 ways your organization/leadership is operating reactively and why it’s not serving you
One of the biggest ways I see companies and leaders struggle is due to operating reactively. Why do companies tend to operate reactively? In my experience as an Executive Coach, the reason most organizations operate reactively is because they lack a strong, cohesive, highly-effective senior leadership team.
What to do with all of these brand new leaders
Baby Boomers are retiring at a rapid rate (much faster than anticipated – some say the pandemic is the impetus). Millennials, the largest generation in the workforce, are now getting promoted into leadership (people management) positions and they are largely inexperienced, unprepared, and feeling very insecure.
5 reasons why we need to develop leaders
Developing leaders should be a default, non-negotiable in every organization. Over 60% of companies offer NO leadership training (LinkedIn Learning report). Additionally, most organizations don’t seem to track, evaluate, or analyze their turnover/hiring costs (eek!). Choosing not to develop leaders is choosing to remain stagnant.
