Success and innovation don’t come without taking some risks. Leaders can create a workplace environment that rewards risk-taking while embracing failure as an opportunity to grow. Associations may be hotbeds of social and cultural change, but their operations sometimes don’t reflect that mover-and-shaker mentality. An organization that leans too heavily on tradition may have staid member offerings, insular boards, and a staff that doesn’t feel it can innovate.

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.

If there’s one topic I hear about all the time from the leaders I work with, it’s the challenge of keeping themselves and their teams focused on what matters most. The long and ever-changing list of things competing for their time and attention can cause a sense of swirl and churn that leaves everyone frustrated and exhausted. A few months ago, I was facilitating a senior leadership team meeting where the focus challenge came up again and, after listening for a while, I drew this grid on the fli

Skills-based hiring is coming to the fore. Harvard Business School analysts suggest that "only 27% of the pivot to skills-based approaches in the hiring processes are "cyclical resets" or short-term responses to the recruitment crisis, while the majority (63%) are "structural resets." In fact, hiring based on skills is five times more predictive of future performance than hiring by education.

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.
