As a leader, how are you connecting with your employees on a personal level? Think about it: if you can’t spark, connect with and ignite your employees, how can you expect customers to become loyal followers?

3 Leadership Proficiencies to Adjust Your Culture
Do you have the three leadership proficiencies necessary to adjust your culture? It saddens me to see otherwise great leaders unable to answer this question.

The Future for Visionary Leaders
Think about the visionary leaders you’ve followed or admired: what were their plans for the future?

The Allure of a Visionary Leader
We look to our leaders to envision a future, to figure out where the organization needs to go to succeed, to evaluate ideas for pragmatism and fit for the company’s core mission.

Leading with Passion: A Requirement for Legitimate Leadership Authenticity
