In my work with leaders, our conversations often turn to the place of humility in effective, influential leadership.

As we wrap up this series on the Gifts of Receiving Feedback I want to mention that it’s equally important to take in and fully receive positive feedback. Even if we like to hear positive feedback we can still struggle with fully taking it in. We may have a tendency to speak disparagingly about the […]

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
