Executives who go through leadership development programs often come back with new energy and purpose, ready to transform their teams, themselves, and their organizations. But it can be challenge to gain traction, sustain momentum, and achieve durable post-program results. Success requires determined effort and patience. To better navigate this reentry phase, remember to acknowledge the contributions others made while you were away, anticipate reactions to your new ideas, embrace the opportunity

In their work with more than 10,000 startup leaders across 70 countries, the authors identify three common management myths among startup leaders looking to grow their companies: the myth of scaling without hierarchy, the myth of structural harmony, and the myth of sustained heroics. By understanding why entrepreneurs fall for these myths, founders can better calibrate their own maverick impulses and instead rely on rigorous evidence about what actually leads to success.

As an executive leadership coach, I have seen firsthand the significant impact that leadership can have on employee well-being and organizational success. One pressing issue that often arises in leadership discussions is employee burnout.

Researchers engaged with organizations across a variety of industries, each at a different stage of implementing responsible AI. They determined that, although data engineers and data scientists typically take on most responsibility from conception to production of AI development lifecycles, non-technical leaders can play a key role in ensuring the integration of responsible AI.

Employee engagement is the lowest in a decade. Hybrid arrangements are a lead culprit, but one association is well-equipped to address. According to a recent Gallup report, employee engagement in the United States is at an 11-year low. Time to panic? Not exactly. To be sure, engagement has nosedived since the pandemic, with only 30 percent of survey respondents saying they’re “highly engaged,” down from 36 percent in early 2020.

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.

I'm skeptical of glowing CEO profiles. When we put leaders on pedestals, we often set them up for a fall. That said, Ben Cohen's recent Wall Street Journal piece on Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna offers some interesting insights. [1] While it would be a classic example of the fundamental attribution error to give Vigna too much credit for the company's stellar performance, he's clearly made a meaningful contribution since taking on the role in 2021.

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.
