There is a common leadership misconception that merely encouraging team members to voice their opinions will foster an environment of openness. But people won’t speak up unless they feel safe doing so. As a leader, this means you have to address the underlying reasons for employee reticence, including the individual and systemic barriers to speaking up.

Dealing with a challenging leader can test even the most seasoned professional. In my practice as an executive leadership coach, I often meet individuals who are grappling with the impact of inadequate leadership.

There is no easy solution for companies trying to craft policies that balance in-office and flexible working, as there are undeniable benefits to both approaches.

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.

Too many organizations with unsustainable “work hard, play hard” cultures believe that checking the well-being box by offering mindfulness training or yoga classes qualifies them as having a positive and safe culture when, in fact, they’re merely “carewashing.” Like the more familiar term greenwashing, carewashing is derived from whitewashing: covering up or putting a misleading spin on a failure to meet some commitment, stated claim, or standard.

No matter how incredible your company culture is, the likelihood of someone becoming a disgruntled employee is directly proportional to your organization’s workforce size. According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace: 2023 Report , 90% of employees in the UK are unhappy at work, and just 10% say they are engaged at work. However, by identifying the warning signs, you can recognize whether employees are disgruntled and take the necessary action to prevent adverse effects.

The world of work has fundamentally changed. The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.

Some Authors want to be so thoroughly comprehensive and detailed in their books that they don't realize they do more damage than good when employing this approach. Let the small speak for the big. Realize that the most effective way to convey a truth is through simplicity and focusing on “the small.” Norwegian poet Olav Hauge wrote a nice poem titled “Don’t Give me the Whole Truth,” and it goes like this: “Don’t give me the whole truth, don’t give me the sea for my thirst, don’t give me the sky
