Among other traits, it takes strength and stamina to be a great leader. Some days can be difficult, and sometimes you have to work hard to find motivation. To make sure you’re up for whatever the day brings, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to make your morning a strong start. Set yourself up for a productive day by adopting some (or all!

By: Rich DePencier and Philippe Harousseau. I’m sure many of you read with intrigue recently when Yvon Chouinard, CEO of the revered outdoors company Patagonia, signaled that he was “giving away” his company – essentially, donating the value of his ownership interest to charity. Though this is a rather extreme example of corporate philanthropy at work, the lesson regarding purpose is especially relevant in these days of corporate transparency.

It's that time of year again – the holidays are fast approaching and as many of you know, the season kicks off with my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. One of the many reasons I look forward to Thanksgiving is because it’s the season of Grandma Elsie’s Famous Pumpkin Chiffon Pie and other crowd-favorite recipes, and special time with family and friends.

Technical degrees might open doors—but it’s the soft skills that keep them open. In the face of disruption, evolving workplace dynamics, and rising expectations of leadership, soft skills like communication, emotional intelligence, and presence have become core business essentials—not nice-to-haves.

A theme in my practice is helping leaders determine which tasks and activities add the greatest long-term value (both professionally and personally), reallocate their time and attention accordingly, navigate around the obstacles that block their way, and resist the endless distractions that threaten to drag them off course. This isn't about productivity.

So, you have a team member who isn’t performing. It’s easy in this situation for leaders to fall prey to the fundamental attribution error where we attribute another’s actions to their character or personality, while attributing our own behaviour to external situational factors outside of our control. In other words, we tend to cut ourselves… The post Getting clear on expectations with the GETSET model first appeared on Suzi McAlpine | The Art of Leadership.

Giving feedback can be one of the most difficult things to do as a leader, which is why so many leaders avoid it. Some leaders may hesitate to avoid hurting any feelings. Others are nervous about how the employee will take the feedback. Still, others wonder whether the outcome sought is achievable in the first place. All speak to the need to master how to effectively give feedback to achieve the behavior change you seek.

Layoffs are painful for everyone involved. But there are varying degrees of pain, and a theme in my practice is helping leaders who are conducting layoffs reduce the pain, not only for the employees losing their jobs, but also for everyone else. The recommendations below are by no means comprehensive, nor will they eliminate the pain of layoffs. But if you're a leader embarking upon this process, here's how you can make it less painful for these stakeholders: Front Line Managers.

A senior executive I work with recently said, “I’m tired of sharing these same messages and stories.”. My response: “YES! That’s what we want, because it says you’re being consistent with your messages across audiences.”. It’s crucial to look at your communications as a process of repetition. Leaders who haven’t realized the benefits of effective communication tend to think of it as a check-off-the-box activity.

A major theme in my practice is emotion regulation--helping clients better manage their inner emotional experience, and then articulate and express what they're feeling in ways that allow them to accomplish their goals more effectively. [1] Much of that work involves down-regulating strong negative emotions: anger, fear, grief. But sometimes we're tripped up not by strong emotions, but by weak ones.

My first day of elementary school was memorable, but not for the reasons you might think. I didn’t attend Kindergarten. It wasn’t an option in the rural part of Ohio where we lived. The bus picked me up and I had all the anxiety a six year old might have going to school for the first time. My consolation was my best friend and next door neighbor Jimmy who was riding the bus with me.

We’ve all been there: someone says something and you suddenly think I’m not sure I trust them now. Credibility is like a currency that never depreciates unless you do something to undercut its value. If people think you’re credible, they trust you. They listen to you, depend on you, and follow you. But if you undermine that credibility, it takes a long time to earn it back.

In late 1998 U.S. Navy Captain David Marquet was about to take command of a nuclear submarine, an assignment for which he'd spent months preparing. At the last minute, his superiors decided to put him in charge of a different boat, the Santa Fe, which was not only the worst-performing sub in the fleet, but also an entirely different type of craft, rendering much of the technical knowledge he'd absorbed irrelevant.

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.
