Can visualization techniques help us see into the future? I think they can. Better, I think they can help us shape that future the way we want it to turn out. Done well, visualization techniques are a great tool for simulating future experiences before they happen so we can influence the outcomes. Here’s one way they helped me just last week, and several ways they can help you.

I think we can all agree that business is changing and, as a result, the role of leaders is changing. No longer are leaders just expected to direct the business, sometimes at all costs, to achieve results. Today, leaders need to be able to combine operational business expertise with high levels of emotional intelligence. Leaders need to be compassionate and empathetic if they are to create high performance teams that thrive in today’s VUCA world.

If you think you spend way too much time in meetings, you’re not alone. Most of us know the feeling of looking at the calendar, seeing one meeting after another, and realizing that you have virtually no time in the day to actually accomplish the things you need to do. It’s frustrating. But if you’re going to be stuck in meetings, you can turn it into a better experience by making a positive contribution.

These days, there is no shortage of communication tools at our fingertips – literally.

We think we have more control than we really have. We imagine an idealized future state and try desperately to push the organization in the direction of our imagination. Add emotional energy, define a rational approach, provide the supporting rationale and everyone will see the light. Pure hubris. What if we took a different approach?

Cooking the perfect meal takes time, planning and foresight — and so does great leadership. My journey as CEO of Fresh n’ Lean, the country’s largest organic pre-prepped meal delivery company, began in 2010 when I was 18 years old. The early years were the hardest. I consistently worked 20-hour days, tackling any task that was required, including cooking meals, washing dishes and customer service.

Because 2018 was a year filled with communication challenges for so many people. Often, those conversations were ineffective and unhealthy, causing frustration, conflict and distress.

Emotional intelligence is widely regarded as a crucial element of the modern manager’s toolkit, and as such it’s easy to assume that those with high emotional intelligence will be not only more effective in the workplace, but also more popular. Alas, new research from EMLyon Business School suggests that might not actually be the case. The authors suggest that there is an emotional intelligence sweetspot, beyond which managers start to struggle making difficult decisions, which weak

Most of us are on social media, and they play an active part in both our personal and professional lives. When social media first emerged, there were widespread concerns about its impact on productivity, but while those concerns have largely dissipated, there is still discussion about the best way to utilize social media for professional success. A recent study from INSEAD suggests that innovative uses of social media are strongly correlated with creativity in our professional lives.

For far too long, being nice has been mistaken for being weak. In reality, niceness is an necessary quality of leadership for the world we’re living in. It has become so rare that when someone does a kind act or goes out of their way to be nice to someone, it goes viral on social media. Being nice doesn’t mean you can’t make hard decisions or stand up to difficult people, it just means you are respectful, kind, and show empathy to your employees.

It stands to reason that when companies hire a new CEO, they hope for a new direction for the company. Alas, new research from Cambridge University’s Judge Business School suggests that things might not be quite so straightforward. The study suggests that new leaders can often bring their culture and habits from their old job with them, and this can hinder any attempts to change their new workplace for the better, as they simple transplant their old ways of working into their new workplac

My new employee asked to work from home. Then she started to tell me the reason. I told her “No need to apologize and I don’t need to know the details.” I do not pay for seat warmers. Come to the office fine. 9 to 5? Fine. Work from home. Fine. Work from the garage while they fix your car? Fine. I don’t need to know you will be late because of a doctor’s appointment, or you are leaving early to attend a personal matter.

Being a leader isn’t easy. With every decision a leader makes someone is happy – and someone is not. One often misunderstood reason leadership is challenging is the tension every leader feels when making decisions. And every leader experiences some of this tension – every single day. In fact, learning to balance the tensions of leadership may determine the level of success a leader can sustain.
