As a leader, your company or team is only as strong as your leadership capabilities. If you find yourself stuck at a certain stage, your team will also be held back. Rhythm Systems CEO, Patrick Thean , often says “The fish rots from the head down” - meaning if you look around your business and see things you don’t like, as a leader, you should look first in the mirror to fix it.

As an executive leadership coach, I’ve found that one of the worst qualities a leader can possess is indecisiveness. An indecisive leader can slowly erode an organization’s productivity, morale, and success, causing countless companies to struggle. Working with indecisive leaders is challenging and requires effort and patience, but it’s crucial to recognize and address this issue to prevent it from taking a heavy toll on their team and business.

Does pursuing a college education still make sense in the age of online learning and AI — when we have access to information for free via the internet? The problem with this question is that it frames college as an information gatekeeper, misunderstanding much of its value. For many, higher education institutions offer more than that: a transformative journey where students can network and develop transferable soft skills that require teamwork and repetition.

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.

You may not have given employee engagement models much thought, but the statistics suggest you should. Gallup estimates that low employee engagement leads to staggering annual losses of $8.9 trillion – nearly 10% of the world’s GDP. Additionally, 62% of employees report feeling disengaged, and 15% actively disengaged. The former typically put in minimal effort at work, and the latter often demotivate their colleagues with their disillusionment and pessimism.

Women’s experiences as parents in the workplace are completely different from men’s. Men get a “fatherhood wage premium,” while mothers encounter a “motherhood penalty” in wages and advancement opportunities. One might think that women without children have workplace advantages on a par with their male counterparts. But they don’t. The maternal wall hinders all women’s careers, whether they plan to have children or not.

During 2020-21 online grocery shopping soared from 3.4% to double digits as Covid-19 made customers reluctant to go into stores. Post Covid, online grocery shopping is still high, forecasted by Forrester (2021) to hit 10.4% in 2024. How will grocery retailers service this new demand stream? What they should not do is continue the common model of picking from their store shelves for free if the customer picks up the order.

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.
