Consider these five criteria when distributing work to your high-performing team. Another key task as the leader of a high performing team is how you distribute and balance work across the members of that team. It needs to be done fairly. Note, I didn’t say equally. Work allocation needs to be done fairly because you want perceptions of equality and you want people to work on things they’re good at but also that they’re excited by.

The key challenge, then, is to figure out the right kind of network for you. In this article, the authors share the findings of their research, which shows that the key to building a performance-boosting network is to include people who support you in areas where your cognitive style is not naturally suited.

As a leadership executive coach, one of the most common mistakes I see leaders make is neglecting their own leadership development. They become so focused on their day-to-day responsibilities and the needs of their team that they fail to invest time and energy into growing their own leadership skills. However, neglecting leadership development can have serious consequences for both the leader and their organization.

One of the most powerful quotes I’ve ever read has stuck with me for years. It’s from Robert Greenleaf in his book, Servant Leadership , where he wrote, “The most difficult question to ask oneself is, ‘Does what I have to say improve upon the silence?’” The fact of the matter is that a lot of people in leadership roles talk too much. The impact of that is multi-faceted.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Companies have a growing problem of information overload regarding markets and competitors, which often prevents the C-suite from making the best decisions available given the data at its disposal. While generative AI is often pitched as a way to create new content (information in, message out), it can work just as well — or depending on the application, even better — in reverse (message in, information out).

In today’s corporate sphere, a growing disparity exists between companies’ declared values and their actions, leading to stakeholder skepticism. This divide prompts discussions about the feasibility of genuine societal contributions within capitalist frameworks. Companies can tread three paths: transactional (profit-focused), toxic (misaligned actions under a guise of societal benefit), or transcendent (true alignment of values and operations).
