It’s tough to give or receive feedback in a culture of ‘nice’, where we infinitely extend grace. While working with organizations I notice the leaders becoming frustrated that their people aren’t performing as expected. Yet, not wanting their people to feel bad, they avoid the difficult conversations that hold people accountable. Some leaders create stories […]

During coaching conversations leaders often wonder: “How can I encourage my people to be more accountable?” You may feel that it’s simply a communication issue – once you learn to communicate better, problem solved.

I found myself reflecting on leadership as I interacted with and watched my 18 month-old granddaughter play so lovingly with her babies.

Perfecting Your Employee Recognition Skills

January 9, 2013 by Diana Leave a Comment

While being positive comes as second nature to some people, complaining seems to be a much more developed skill than praising. Many people find it difficult to be only positive; it’s as if they can’t help themselves adding a crushing blow. Think back to the character Carolyn Burnham (Annette Bening) in “American Beauty” when she […]

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.”
