Leadership

The leader’s role is to position the organization to be successful in a constantly evolving environment.

I faced significant pushback from others when making changes. This confounded me until we studied Van Maanen’s three lenses on organizational change.

Transitioning from technical work to leadership involves coaching managers and aligning on context, philosophy, and goals.

Emotional Intelligence wasn’t always a concept I grasped fully. I hadn’t realized my emotions communicated even when my words didn’t.

I’ve had the opportunity to cross paths with thousands of leaders and learn from their journeys. Together, we’ve explored what it means to lead.

Work on the right things, use my time to think strategically, and do less of what’s comfortable and more of what’s needed. Focus on impact.

I tend to say “yes” to everything. There are many reasons. For a long time, this served me well enough, but it all became too much.

I offer this as an option to reframe a challenging situation into an opportunity to level up: grit lasts longer than giftedness.

Think about your Desired Future State. Don’t settle, have it really be a transformation. This is your 2.0 “version” you should set sight on.

AI can be complementary in our leadership toolkit. However, as with any tool, it works great for some circumstances and not as well for others.
