By Linda Fisher Thornton Leading in the "figure it out" space is one of the most important roles of ethical leadership. When the way forward isn't clear, and there are ethical issues to be considered, the best leaders admit that the next step is not clear cut and will need to be worked through. They start a conversation with their teams to engage them in the messy process of considering the most responsible way forward.

Many people believe that exceptional leadership is defined by strategic thinking, charisma, or decision-making skills. While these are undoubtedly important qualities, they are not what truly set exceptional leaders apart. The one word that separates great leaders from the rest is character.

Endless talking, rigid agendas, and one-way communication no longer work. Today’s teams need meetings that are dynamic, inclusive, and productive. If you’re running meetings like it’s still 1995, it’s time to rethink how you bring your people together.

Many leaders believe that declaring an “open culture” makes employees comfortable sharing their thoughts. While the idea sounds good in theory, most organizations fall short in practice. An open culture is more than a label—it requires creating a genuinely safe environment for honest dialogue. If employees hesitate to speak up, it shows that the culture isn’t truly open.
