    Adaptive Leadership

    Self-awareness of who you are, your natural tendencies, and how others experience you as a leader is critical to being an effective leader. Use the S.O.S. model to determine when your natural style may not produce your intended results and when you might need to adapt to have a more positive effect with those you work with.

    Giving Feedback

    One of the hardest things we do as leaders is give feedback – and especially constructive (aka negative) feedback – to others. That’s because we often tell ourselves stories about how the other person is going to react and get scared of that negative reaction. If we are genuine and authentic in our approach and deliver the feedback at the right time and in the right circumstances though, then giving feedback can actually be a gift that keeps on giving.

    Strategic Planning

    Have you ever conducted a SWOT analysis? SWOT analyses and other approaches like this are based on looking over your shoulder at where you’ve been rather than guiding you based on your ideal future state. We recommend a proven approach for planning your future from the future, identifying your strategic “lighthouse” goals and then breaking those long-term objectives down into more manageable and achievable micro-goals.

    Innovation

    Many business owners and leaders have what they think is a great idea and immediately try to implement it. Unfortunately, not all ideas prove to be such great ideas when leaders move forward with their implementation efforts. That’s why we created a more complete framework to guide your innovation efforts.

    Productivity Management

    How many To Do lists do you have? How often do you get to those lower priority items at the bottom of the list?

If your answer is while multi-tasking during group conference calls, then you need to learn these strategies to manage your priorities more effectively.

    Family Business: Governance

    I’m a big fan of “Take Your Child to Work Day”. I’m even an advocate for creating family-friendly cultures at work and treating everyone like family.

    Group Coaching

    While it may seem counter-intuitive, group coaching may in fact be better than more traditional one-on-one executive coaching techniques. One-on-one coaching puts the role of “expert” on to the executive coach. There is tremendous power in the group though. When facilitated successfully, group coaching and using a model of peer support can be extremely effective and offer great value to individual leaders.

    Performance Management

    People often think of performance management as that thing they have to do at the end of every year for HR. While that may be an important part of the process, performance management is an always, ongoing activity that is supposed to happen throughout the year. The culmination of the performance management process is the annual performance review. Learn the core components of effective performance reviews and more specifically understand what they are and what they aren’t!
