CEO

In March of 2020, CEOs faced the reality of shelter in place orders that required most of their employees to work from home. The initial assumption of many was that the situation might last a few weeks. Today, countless companies are in the same place or in some stage of either mandating that employees come

As a business leader, I’ve found the last 20 months or so to be eerily like being a brand-new mum. Many sleepless nights, additional worry and stress, and the hope that one morning you’d wake up to find someone had provided you with a “how to” guide on navigating your new reality (I’m still waiting

I learned a few leadership lessons from my living room in 2020 – where I raised my nine-year-old daughter as I worked alongside her – that other executives might find useful in their careers. 2020 was a year of many firsts for almost all of us. For me, it was my first year as a

Leadership has been highlighted as the behavior indicative of friendship, mutual trust, respect, and warmth. The key to leadership is based upon satisfying basic needs and verbalizing feelings of admiration, respect and trust toward themselves to meet higher desires through inspiring followers to provide newer solutions and create a better workplace. Executives can be made

As a leader, when is it important to speak up? When should you listen? Some of the biggest problems people create for themselves involve speaking versus listening, (i.e. speaking when you shouldn’t, and not speaking when you should). Ironically, you can get into as much trouble by what you don’t say as opposed to what

According to the McKinsey research, about half of executive transitions fail! Are you surprised? I am not. I hear a lot about the struggles of emerging executive leaders during my listening tours. You may wonder what causes such a high number of transitions being unsuccessful. It is connected with the fact that very few organizations have found

The key code to bending reality is feeling what arises. The subconscious needs to be cleared of its contractions in order to access the zero-point field, which gives rise to physical reality. This is normal and why most everyone you know lives in contraction. Even experts in self-development usually skip over this and focus only

Employers seeking to increase the Covid vaccination rate of their employees may have seen press coverage and commentary on health insurance premium surcharges for those who are not vaccinated. While at a high level this approach may seem appealing, vaccine surcharges will create substantial administrative complexity for group health plan sponsors and will not likely

Creating a Radically Collaborative Environment: A CEO can’t do everything!  What they can do, however, is create an environment where people collaborate effectively to ensure that everything does get done.  Creating and maintaining a collaborative environment is one of the hardest jobs a leader will be asked to do, and one of the most essential. 

Goals are essential to every individual and organization. However, setting those goals is meaningless unless you pay attention to the course you’re traveling. We all start at Point A en route to our Goals and Objectives (Point C). Unfortunately, far too often, individuals and organizations get off track and get lost in dead-end behaviors (Point

Many times the terms personal brand and professional brand are used interchangeably, but there is a difference. As leaders, it’s important to recognize the difference and be intentional about supporting the pursuit of either or both for your team. Understanding the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial aspects of what inspires an individual to develop a brand in

The strategist’s dilemma: According to Forbes, the amount of data created in the last two years is more than 90 percent of the world’s total data combined. Furthermore, IDC Global DataSphere forecasted in May 2020 that more than 59 zettabytes of data would be created, captured, copied and consumed in the world by the end

Sixteen-plus months into a global pandemic that created the largest work-from-home experiment the world has ever seen, companies are continuing to prepare for what a return to the office will look like. But with virtual exhaustion and disenchantment continuing to rise, how can employers support workers in this new era of work? To understand the

The impact of the pandemic’s global health crisis and measures to contain it have pushed through a dramatic shift in the U.S. workplace. Since teleworking has become conventional, it recast how, when and where the job gets done and how performance is measured.  At the same time, the uncertain environment has changed employees’ expectations, what

In the last few months, there has been a flood of news stories pointing to a shift in the relationship between employers and workers. Macro trends like increasing labor mobility and little or no growth in the working age population have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. A tight job market with numerous openings and

The Consumer Product Goods (CPG) industry has undergone several significant shifts over the last few years. The role of digital in the CPG business has evolved and continues to, customer preferences have changed drastically, and compliance imperatives have driven the industry towards stricter, better, and customer-centric standards. In the last decade, however, global awareness of

The advent of powerful new business models driven by digital technology is fueling innovation in nearly every sector and industry. But, according to a new poll of U.S. CEOs, the talent shortage—far more than the technology itself—is imposing a significant, new bottleneck that threatens to stymie these efforts. That’s among the key findings of a

The revolving door of the COVID reentry is enough to make the most seasoned leaders lose heart. People are overwhelmed, filled with fear and judgment, and quitting their jobs in what’s been called “The Great Resignation.” Let’s face it, the stakes couldn’t be higher: burnout, loss of top talent, a culture vacuum, creativity drain. The

After three years and more than two hundred episodes featuring interviews with some of the world’s most influential thinkers, it’s a fair statement that I’ve learned a thing or two. Thirty, to be precise. I am privileged to host FranklinCovey’s On Leadership With Scott Miller podcast, now the world’s largest weekly leadership podcast. The insights
