“How do I be a better leader now ?”. As I sit in discussions with leaders these days, I inevitably get some version of this question. We may be meeting about communication, discussing how to navigate change, or working to define a new strategy, and inevitably the conversation evolves to this critical point. Leaders want to know how to lead such that employees feel compelled to follow.

Thanks to the popular clothing line, you’ve probably seen this shirt admonishing anyone who sees it to be a good person. (What exactly it means to be a good person takes much more than a sentence to explain or understand, but It is a nice sentiment.) I’m not sure how many bad people are converted when they see the shirt but it is at least a good reminder.

Technical degrees might open doors—but it’s the soft skills that keep them open.

Every leader, whether their title is boss, manager, supervisor, or coach, has a lot going on. And even the most skilled leaders sometimes find they’ve gone off the rails—sometimes in small ways, sometimes disastrously. It’s important to have a plan for what to do when things start to fall apart. Here’s what I tell the leaders I coach about getting back on track: Acknowledge what’s happening.

Changing how leadership looks and feels in the workplace. An interview with Stephen M.R. Covey that originally aired on April 20th, 2022, as part of our Leveraging Thought Leadership Live series on LinkedIn. For decades, businesses have used a “command and control” method of leadership, a top-down authoritative approach that gives privilege and power only to senior management.

It’s a ridiculously simple question. But it’s not only one of the most powerful coaching questions I’ve used, it’s one that we don’t often ask ourselves – and one that can be difficult to answer. More often we ask ourselves: What should I do? What do others want me or need me to do? What… The post What do you want? first appeared on Suzi McAlpine | The Art of Leadership.

A S A LIFELONG communication skills coach, I was asked recently by one of my colleagues how important individual coaching attention is for a person to learn and grow at any stage of their career. Of course, this is sort of like asking a baker if bread is worth baking. I’ve seen many breakthrough moments when people from all walks of life set their sights on developing new thoughts, actions, and habits.

There’s a single point I make throughout my work in executive coaching, speaking, and writing: people are the most important asset of any business. Most people agree, at least on the surface. But too few are willing to carry out that principle in policies and day-to-day management. I recently conducted a study of my clients with for-profit businesses and found that most understand the importance of people but still put profits first.

I DEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Charles Handy on the nature of vision: “A plan or a strategy which is a projection of the present or a replica of what everyone else is doing is not a vision. A vision has to reframe the known scene, to reconceptualize the obvious, connect the previously unconnected dream.”.

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.

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.
