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.

Today the workforce is getting older, and the number of younger workers in positions of senior management is growing. These two developments might appear to spell trouble, in that they seem to set the generations against one another, but the author of this article argues that in fact they represent an important opportunity: If companies can figure out how to enable the intergenerational transfer of the wisdom that comes with age and experience, they can strengthen themselves — and the workplace

As an executive leadership coach, I have seen firsthand how communication plays a significant role in how people perceive and respect you. Many of my clients are unaware that they are being rude. It’s only through coaching that they gain the insight needed to recognize and address this issue. Often, the culprit behind unintentional rudeness is the use of common phrases. that have become so ingrained in our daily conversations that we rarely stop to consider their impact.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many organizations become locked in a self-created paradox while pursuing sustainable leadership. While striving for long-term sustainability, they unintentionally damage their efforts through traditional recognition processes. This disparity between sustainability objectives and employee recognition is more than a small oversight; it is a significant problem at the core of many business plans.

Without knowing the details of a person’s history, employers rely on signals of quality to make bets on who will make quality employees with a strong organizational fit. Resume gaps used to be clear negative signals, but attitudes seem to be changing today. For example, LinkedIn recently adopted a new “Career Breaks” feature in which users can showcase skills acquired during a professional pause.
