How many of us would be happy knowing the high point of our career was that we were good at just getting through the day?Unfortunately, that’s the reality leaders need to recognize as the focus of today’s leadership becomes less and less about achieving long-term goals and more about just putting out fires and ‘getting things done’.While this certa…

If I were to ask your employees if your organization is ready to navigate the next global crisis, what would they say?As much as we’d like to think we’re prepared for whatever crisis comes our way, the pandemic and subsequent global supply chain crises clearly proved many organizations are vastly under-prepared to handle any kind of global crisis, …

Does your organization encourage a sense of curiosity?

“One of the biggest stumbling blocks for organizations is an unwillingness to be brutally honest about the challenges they face.”There’s no question leadership is becoming a more challenging role than it was 5-10 years ago.

During periods of economic uncertainty, a common response from leaders is streamlining their operations and focusing on what they deem as being essential to their organization’s ability to ride out the storm.Unfortunately, one thing that often is considered in these moments to be a luxury is taking time off work to go on a vacation.
