Lack and uncertainty are growth opportunities. Pulling back means no growth. Push through. Your dreams require growth. Vision gives value of the struggle. Stretch in ways that fulfill your vision. Growth points come disguised as untested skills, awkward opportunities, and uncomfortable situations. Learn the truth about growth opportunities.

Games aren’t typically covered in marketing classes in business schools, and they are often still seen as fundamentally different from other media. Modern-day games offer companies varied opportunities to connect with new and hard-to-reach customers, drive brand awareness and loyalty, and acquire and retain new customers.

Some widely spread myths about the coaching leadership style makes the topic blurry. Not only that – the entire topic may get trivialized or burned if those who coach reduce themselves to headlines or superficialities. Therefore, in this edition, we’d like to address some common simplifications of ground rules, such as ‘you shall never coach someone without permission or mandate’ or ‘everything that happens in coaching turns into the coachees’ responsibility’.

To keep up-to-date on projects, we have two weekly calls with the entire team, and one mid-week call to update the rest of the company on projects. Our manager runs the two team calls each week, while I run the mid-week call on projects.

One of them — who’s younger, less experienced, more eager — rarely asks to adjust her work hours or work from home, and is generally happy to do anything I ask her to do. The other is a little older, has less of a teamwork attitude (“is this technically one of my job responsibilities?

Are you feeling optimistic? How is your outlook right now? If I’m being honest, this is the most hopeful I’ve been in quite a few years. And if you look around there are a few good reasons to think that way: AI continues to show new amazing use cases that help make our lives better…all while making us better at our jobs, not taking them. New innovations are emerging all around us, like the awe-inspiring rocket catch by SpaceX recently (on the first try!).

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.

Introduction Strategic annual planning is a critical process for businesses to set goals, allocate resources, and align team efforts. While many companies rely on the old fallback - flipchart paper and markers - utilizing a software tool can multiply the impact of your efforts by making it easier to both record & execute the strategy to ensure accountability for achieving the goals.

A great leader does more than just manage people—they inspire, guide, and develop their team to reach new levels of success. On the flip side, poor leadership can poison your culture, even when you have talented individuals in your organization. It’s not just about having the right people; it’s also about ensuring that leaders are in the right seats.

We've seen it countless times on fire alarms and panic buttons: Break glass in case of emergency. (The example above is from a San Francisco BART station.) It's a fitting figure of speech for a theme in my practice: When a client feels that their company's established processes are too slow or that employees are addressing a situation with insufficient urgency, they "break glass" and intervene to bypass those processes, generate the requisite urgency, and ensure that the issue is resolved now.

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.
