How Leaders Recognize Fear of Failure
Fear of failure has several telltale—and observable—signs. You’re likely to set your ambitions too low or too high, explains entrepreneurship expert Robert Kelsey, author of What’s Stopping You?: Why Smart People Don’t Always Reach Their Potential and How You Can (Capstone, 2012). Goals set too low reflect a lack of self-confidence and a fear of […]

What Matters: Do We Need a
Values Revolution?
What matters in leadership today? What’s most important if we want to build sustainable business organizations? Maybe Gary Hamel is right when he claims we need a values revolution in business (What Matters Now: How to Win in a World of Relentless Change, Ferocious Competition, and Unstoppable Innovation.).

What Exactly Is Intuition and How Can It Help Make Sound Decisions?
While some enjoy promoting its seemingly magical qualities, intuition isn’t some mysterious gift or touchy-feely psychic ability. There’s science behind it, which means you can learn how to leverage your intuition for optimum results. We need to treat intuition as a strength that can be acquired and expanded by building—and making better use of—a rich […]

The Power of Intuitive Thinking
In today’s fast-paced business environment, leaders must make complex decisions quickly, even when faced with uncertainty. Data and numbers rarely provide a complete picture.

The Future of Work: Global Connectivity
What will the future of work be like for you? Thinking about the future is hard, mainly because we’re so mired in the present.

Leadership Skills for the Future:
Stay Ahead of the Robot Curve
Could you be replaced by a computer? Just because your leadership skills involve managing people and making decisions, don’t think you can’t be replaced by a machine.

How to Develop Better Noticing Skills
One of the things I try to do when coaching leaders is to help them to see what they can’t see, to develop their noticing skills.

Leadership Decisions: Why We Don’t Notice
What We Need to Notice
Why don’t we notice what needs to be noticed when making key leadership decisions? I’ve been fascinated by Harvard Professor Max Bazerman’s book The Power of Noticing: What the Best Leaders See (Simon & Schuster, 2014). It’s really caused me to think deeply about how leaders often miss key data for decisions – either by […]
