How To Motivate and Ultimately Engage An Employee

A simple Google search or a visit to Gallup’s website will reveal the most common factors that motivate employees.  However, that’s employees in general – NOT necessarily the people you manage. Employees are individuals.  Some want to be in the office because they feed off the energy of being around people.  Others are motivated by being able to work at home with the flexibility to better handle all areas of their life.  In fact, many employees say they work longer hours for the ...

Leadership Styles and Corporate Responses to Crisis Situations

The most common leadership styles are autocratic, democratic and delegative. So, how does each style affect a crisis in a corporation? The autocrat will need to make all the decisions in a crisis, keep everyone in fire-drill mode and require continuous updates. Many times they insist on being the point person for communications, not trusting anyone else to handle it.

Identifying Your Blind Spots As A Leader

I love this topic – it’s so important and one that’s not usually addressed. Some topics I see over and over again! What I wish all leaders knew is that they actually HAVE blind spots. It’s impossible not to. Even the best of intentioned, most self-aware leaders can be unaware of how they’re being perceived or how their actions are impacting others beyond their immediate circle. We ALL see the world through our own point of view, and our brain filters out information that disagrees with that ...

What is Leadership Agility?

Leadership is setting the vision and direction, while motivating and fully utilizing all resources at your disposal to make that vision a reality.

It’s more than just flexibility. It’s proactive, goal-oriented flexibility with a purpose. And it’s more important than ever due to two key factors: Rapidly increasing pace of change – not ...
