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.

ESG is at an inflection point. It has come to represent a broad and inchoate aspiration for what business should be doing beyond maximizing shareholder value. With ESG advocates on the defensive, business leaders need a new roadmap to determine which factors to incorporate into their business strategies and operations – and their political advocacy – and how they will communicate this to their stakeholders.

Trust is the cornerstone of all great leadership. Without it, it’s tough to inspire, motivate, or bring about meaningful change in your organization. Trust isn’t just a switch you can flip; it grows and deepens over time, offering various levels of connection and impact. As an experienced leadership coach, I’ve discovered that there are four key levels of trust every leader needs to master to create an environment of openness, accountability, and peak performance.
