In my work as a consultant, I have seen successful visionary leaders make a positive […]

Leading with Passion: A Requirement for Legitimate Leadership Authenticity
Great leaders are not afraid of leading with passion. They share their genuine enthusiasm for their vision and passion for how it benefits others.

The True Hallmark of Legitimate Leadership Authenticity
Leadership begins with your most worthy intentions and personal principles. Your core values direct your thoughts, priorities, preferences, and actions.

Legitimate Leadership Authenticity is Discerningly Adaptable
Adaptability requires confidence and, ironically, consistent character. Being adaptable doesn’t mean being fickle, constantly changing course or bending under pressure. It calls for sticking to principles and plans with consideration, reasonable flexibility and understanding. Legitimate leadership authenticity is discerningly adaptable.

Unified Teamwork: How Leaders Go From “Me” to “We”

Forward Thinking Leaders Assess and Address Compelling Problems
People need to be part of something bigger than themselves, and they generally embrace opportunities to contribute to organizational success. They want to be part of a unified team. Yet organizational environments may prevent them from feeling satisfied. I’ve been writing about this in recent posts. When this topic comes up with my coaching clients, […]

The Real Power of Purpose and Value
By definition, every business is values-driven, but an uplifting sense of purpose is more motivating than profits and promotions. “A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance.” ~ Gary Hamel, What Matters Now? Yet many leaders I have met use financial incentives (i.e. bonuses, pay and promotion) to stimulate people to good work. They are reluctant […]
