Is Your Executive Team Truly Aligned?

Let’s face it; the executive team in any organisation sets the tone and the standard for culture and performance, doesn’t it? Those two components, culture and performance, determine both short and long term success, don’t they? Performance is also about innovation, not just achieving targets on time. If the executive isn’t fully aligned regarding values, […]

Are Your Leaders Just Zoo Keepers?

Massive and disruptive change is upon the way we do business, the way we work, the way we govern, and the way we live. That calls for leadership that can execute on these main criteria: Do we have meaningful and lived values that guide how and what we think, say and do? Do we have […]

The Epidemic in Our Workplace

There’s an epidemic in our workplace that is spilling over to our personal lives – perhaps even spilling from our personal lives into the workplace. It’s been nurtured by social media, marketing and worst of all by some leaders. The symptoms are ‘selfies’, mindless Twittering, collecting ‘likes’ and ‘friends’, allowing one’s self to be upset […]

Two Critical Skills for Now and Beyond – will you acquire or improve them?

I’ve been working with senior leaders and technical or operational experts for nearly two decades in my role as a leadership consultant coach and facilitator.

The Secret to Enterprise Productivity

Improving productivity is high on the leaders’ agenda. Scholarly and practical articles alike focus on the productivity outcome created by the relationship between inputs and outputs, debating only what inputs and outputs to measure. What are measured mainly are financial and product or service data. I think they are missing the secret reality. There are […]

How a Gen Y Leader Earned the Trust and Respect of Her Older Employees

Karen (not her real) came to me as a referral from her CEO. She is a bright passionate twenty-eight year old with superb technical skills that contribute to the innovative future for her company. After the sudden death of her immediate supervisor and no one else willing to step up from the team, the CEO […]

The Tragic Rise of the Under Developed Leader

The HR Manager told me that we couldn’t call the leadership development project “coaching” because the CEO doesn’t believe in coaching for leaders. The CEO has stated that leaders should be developed enough to not need coaching; that they wouldn’t have made it thus far if they were deficient. That CEO and his Chief Operating […]

Don’t Change! Adapt, Adjust, Improve, Create or Innovate Instead!

I’m tired of the expression “change management”! Firstly the statistics are that 70% of change programs fail. Secondly, change is a directionless word. What we really mean is adapting or improving, adjusting, innovating or creating. When people are told they must change, it evokes resistance. When they are asked how we might adapt and improve, […]

The Formula for Corporate Success Today

We live in times of uncertainty, volatility, ambiguity, even chaos. Disruptive change is upon us all. We are emerging from leading and managing focussed only on spreadsheets and fiscal data. That’s because it’s not delivering the results we seek. We must embrace an additional formula not used by accountants and economists. Not their fault. We […]
