It’s easy for true gratitude to get lost in the swirl of formal recognition programs, everyday courtesies, and the relentless push for more and better. Progress is good. You need recognition. And courtesy is vital. But none of these are genuine gratitude. True gratitude begins with deep humility. It changes us. True gratitude transforms our relationships.

How to Avoid the Most Common Mistakes New Managers Make. So many new managers don’t receive the training or skills they need to be effective, lead their teams, and achieve meaningful results.

Leading is hard enough in “normal” times. But the times in which we are living and leading are far from normal. Supply chains, viruses, economic changes, and changes in expectations, needs, and demands can all create exhaustion.

Years ago, when I was a rising leader in corporate-land, I worked for a company president who regularly asked a thought-provoking question, “Are we engaging in an adult-to-adult conversation or a parent-child conversation?”. When she asked the question, I don’t think she had in mind the nurturing type of parent-child relationship that most of us would likely prefer, but the type in which the parent is the alpha and the child is the beta.

Every leader, whether their title is boss, manager, supervisor, or coach, has a lot going on.

Mentoring is a time-honored approach to help people in their careers, but research from Harvard Business School argues that it often fails to hit the mark. The study found that new hires who received effective mentoring were able to outperform their non-mentored peers by 18%. What’s more, the mentored employees also stayed with the organization longer than their non-mentored peers.

No matter which industry your organization operates it, there’s a pretty high chance that you’re grappling with how to motivate and engage your employees in the daily work they do. This challenge has manifested itself in various ways – from the Great Resignation to more recently the notion of quiet quitting.

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.

When we’re developing new skills, there is inevitably a period during which we’re not very good. This can be particularly daunting if that period is played out in public, such as when we’re public speaking. This fear of embarrassment can dissuade us from trying new things. Research from the University of Chicago suggests that we can overcome this by focusing less on trying to avoid embarrassment and more on actively seeking it out.
