Sam knew something was wrong. It just wasn’t fun anymore. The creativity and enthusiasm had drained from the company. Decisions took forever. Managers were finding it harder than ever to recruit and retain talent. Sam had hired me to help him crack the code. As I pulled up to Sam’s office, I knew he’d be unhappy with my recommendation–which involved a serious look in the mirror at his own leadership behaviors.

Adding elements to a workplace that enhance people’s value effectively empower people to achieve their potential. Here are six ways leaders can do this. 1. Make a human connection with as many people as possible. Leaders need to acknowledge individuals. There’s no easier way to show you value people than to learn about them and use their names when you speak with them.

Leadership is a great responsibility – but with that responsibility comes something that we never really hear about in all of our education, training and preparation. And it’s something that can be destructive and damaging to our performance as a leader, and to our overall health and well-being, unless it is managed and controlled. That “something” is stress and anxiety.

Want to be a more powerful listener? If you’re like me, sometimes the distractions are personal. We’re afraid to hear ourselves. Great listening starts by setting aside the physical and emotional distractions that get in the way of what we most need to hear. But when we can, the impact is palpable. I encourage you to pick one person this week and really listen to what she has to say.

Listening is an important behavior that many of us fail to do well enough. We fail to listen not because we don’t hear but rather because we don’t care to listen to what we are hearing. In short, we don’t like what we are hearing, so we tune out. Listening is an act of respect; it connotes that one individual cares enough about another to listen to what he or she has to say.

Most re-organization efforts either focus on hard stuff (processes, strategy, structure, KPI’s) or on soft stuff (culture, values, relationships, feelings). I have seen very few reorganization efforts in my career that are focused on the most important aspect of how value is delivered to customers: Simplicity. Simplicity stems from decentralization of power. “ New Power ” as they call it, is all about empowering people, creating conducive ecosystems for performance, learning collectively and enc

Companies report equity in the form of paid-in founder capital, investor capital, retained earnings, and converted debt capital, which lenders may own out of a conversion event.

You’re a hero when you get hired and a loser during traditional performance reviews. It’s a waste to hire for strength and evaluate for weakness. Replace traditional annual reviews with monthly performance conversations. Better yet, discuss performance in some way, every week. Make it normal, not an exception, to discuss performance.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

I hear a lot of entrepreneurs say they’ve thrown out their televisions in exchange for self-improvement books, meditation, and more hours chipping away at their dreams. If it isn’t Shark Tank, it’s doing nothing to grow the business and put money in the bank. Well, I’m an entrepreneur that loves to spend hours watching reality competition shows. After a long day of work, nothing is more satisfying than sitting on my couch with a bowl of cereal and watching other people battle for their dreams.

As you have likely heard, the pharmaceutical company Mylan and its CEO, Heather Bresch, have come under immense scrutiny for the firm’s EpiPen pricing policy. The EpiPen is a medication delivery device intended for use by those susceptible to anaphylactic allergic reactions (e.g., peanuts, shellfish, insect bites etc.). The use of EpiPens during an allergic episode can make the difference between life and death for those prone to severe allergic reactions.

If you want to lead like an extraordinary leader, you first have to know how to be a leader. When it comes to leadership, most people concentrate on what you need to do. But that’s not the whole story. Who you are as leader, is just as important as what you do. Whatever you’re doing, it’s who you are being while you are doing that can take you from good to great, to from ordinary to extraordinary.

It can be intimidating to be alone with your thoughts, and even more so if you don’t know what to do with that time that you set aside to reflect. Yet one of the most important things you should be doing as a leader is to block out some regular “do not disturb” time for reflection. You’ll find that time alone with yourself can be valuable, and that you can get into a cadence and comfort level with your reflection time that will help you to become a better leader.

Sometimes I think dreaming big is a cowardly excuse for doing nothing. If we dream big enough, we can justify inaction today. Nothing’s ever big enough to achieve really big dreams. Leadership is earned by unremarkable daily practices. The fear of being unremarkable invites the pursuit of dramatic change. Simple unremarkable behaviors seem insignificant.
