Each year, brands spend over $600 billion (and counting) to convince us to buy their products. Yet, as consumers we have become insensitive to most advertising. This excerpt from Brand Hacks – How to Build Brands by Fulfilling the Consumer Quest for Meaning aims at helping CEOs understand why consumers don’t care about (most) brands

And when it comes to deciding where to direct their patronage, companies that prioritize social and environmental responsibility have first dibs. Rhett Power discusses ways for companies to adopt environmentally friendly practices as more organizations aim for net-zero emissions.  Environmental concerns continue to play a

Whether you’ve always had a remote workforce or had to adopt remote operations when Covid struck, it is vital to continually assess how you can work better with your remote team. This will help boost overall work output and ensure that your business is constantly progressing towards achieving its short-term and long-term goals. Following are

Fractional Chief Financial Officers (CFO) are in high demand these days.  A fractional CFO is a highly qualified business finance professional that your company can hire on a part-time basis.

The global pandemic has changed how companies evaluate their real estate portfolios. This massive shift happened relatively quickly. It started with the rise of remote work and is being perpetuated (and sometimes complicated) by the need for enterprise-wide return-to-work plans. C-suite executives have had to grapple with these new circumstances and make important decisions about

Two significant challenges exist for leaders in maintaining the trust of their employees. One is the reality of the old saying, “The only constant is change.” The second is effective performance management in the midst of constant change. For example, in the international school setting, where schools experience a high percentage of staff turnover, the

Tech startups are filled with eager founders; the majority of them are men. Rare is the female founder—rarer still are women of color. As a female founder of two companies, a woman of color, and as a parent, I have seen young girls excel at STEM at an early age. I know it’s possible to

Have you ever struck up a conversation with another executive at a conference or a reception and then noticed as that executive seemed to have a knack for working the room?

When it comes to the future of the workplace and employee experience, one thing is sure. What worked in the past is not what will work in the future.

Unwelcome and unexplained specters seem to lurk everywhere these days. The Covid-19 pandemic, while ostensibly on the wane in nations with easy access to vaccines, continues to sow volatility and uncertainty in people’s lives and the markets, and the new Delta variant has many worried about another winter of isolation. Meanwhile, businesses large and small

One of the most frequent questions I’m asked is the most important skill or competency that great leaders share. I’m pressed for this all the time, so I’ve done a lot of reflecting on my answer: in my opinion, one of the most crucial skills a leader can have is his or her ability to

Leadership constantly changes. It doesn’t stand still. You can’t define it in 2021 and expect it to be the same in 2022. Global and local events, as well as organisational shifts, require leaders to continually look at their behavioural responses. And of course, the pandemic is no different. In times of crisis employees look to

The need for remote work solutions prioritized a shift to the cloud – and for some organizations, that meant choosing short-term or patchwork solutions jerry-rigged out of existing legacy technologies just to get through the crisis. However, IT professionals recognize that application effectiveness in this new multi-cloud environment requires a redesign of their enterprise applications

Bill Gates famously said, “How you gather and manage information will determine whether you win or lose.” He was right. Periods of rapid change demand rapid, intelligent decision-making. That is only possible if an organization can gather and share all pertinent information. The easiest way to do that is to make information-sharing uninhibited, which means

There is a plethora of information out there about how to influence – and yet, according to our research, influence is still one of the top three most sought-after traits by leaders looking to develop their impact. The leaders who most aspire to having more influence are those who have to lead from the centre
