Extensive research has indicated the benefits of showing gratitude to those around you, including your colleagues or employees. However, a new study suggests that the timing of these expressions can make a big difference. Through two experiments and an analysis of a top hospital’s intensive care units, researchers found that when you express gratitude to others before they engage in a distressing task it helps counteract some of the negative emotions associated with the task.

Employee engagement is the cornerstone of any successful organization. Engaged employees are more productive, committed, and likely to contribute to a positive work culture. However, a shocking reality exists in today’s workforce—according to a Gallup study, 70% of employees are disengaged at work. This statistic should serve as a wake-up call for leaders everywhere.

It’s much easier to change and improve how we communicate when we understand why we speak and behave the way we do. That’s why the most effective presenters and communicators often have a strong sense of their identities and a level of self-awareness acquired through reflecting on their beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral patterns. To become more aware of our own communication styles, and how they change due to context, you can do some inner work.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

When someone who has traditionally been your opponent creates a great opportunity, question their motivation. Seek to fully understand the situation before you say yes. Every organization suffers from some level of political intrigue.

Navigating a relationship with a manager you perceive as ineffective or unqualified can be daunting, but it can also be a catalyst for growth. Rather than allowing frustration to erode your engagement and productivity, shift your focus to what you can control. You may not have control over who you report to, but you can control the beliefs, assumptions, and narratives you create about the situation, as well as the impact of your behavior on those around you.
Speaker: Radhika Samant and Todd Wuestenberg
Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Great leaders recognize that their most valuable asset is their people, especially those who are exceptionally smart and talented. However, managing highly intelligent individuals comes with its own set of challenges. These individuals often have strong opinions, high expectations, and a desire for autonomy. To truly harness their potential and drive organizational success, leaders must employ innovative and thoughtful strategies.

Leadership fears can significantly hinder an individual’s ability to lead effectively. According to a recent nearly 40% of new leaders fail within their first 18 months due to self-doubt and fear of failure. When left unaddressed, these fears can lead to poor decision-making, stifled creativity, and a toxic work environment. As an executive coach, I help leaders transform their fears into strengths by creating a safe space for exploring anxieties and developing personalized strategies.

Retaining top talent is crucial for any organization’s success. However, even the most skilled and dedicated employees can become disillusioned if their leaders exhibit certain detrimental habits. While many leaders focus on attracting top performers, it’s equally important to recognize the behaviors that can drive them away. Understanding these leadership pitfalls is essential for fostering a thriving workplace where top talent can excel and feel valued.
