Navigating Radical Uncertainty
During times of radical uncertainty, leaders can be paralyzed by reading and hearing what appears to be conflicting advice. Do you hunker down and do what is necessary to fight another day? Or do you take courageous action and choose to set a new course for the future? Let these 5 steps be your guide.
Is This Sprint Sustainable?
Many leaders say they feel working remotely has gone well, and that productivity is high. But a recent study showed that two-thirds of respondents are operating at the pace of a run or a sprint. Is the pace of work sustainable?
Lean Into Reducing Unconscious Bias
Becoming aware of, and reducing unconscious bias is more critical now than ever. Noticing “differences” as potential threats takes place in our emotional brain. But our neo-cortex, or executive function of the brain, can lean in and make thoughtful, logical, reliable, and useful decisions.
Never-Ending Commitment
There is no magic solution to oppression and a lack of inclusiveness. It will require a commitment from all of us to a never-ending journey towards making real the vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
Raising the Bar and Expecting Success
Commit to excellence, surround yourself with people who share that commitment, and lead others to places they only dreamed of going. Real-world examples show a common playbook for sustained success.

Leaders are Human, Too
As humans, we may never become totally skilled and talented in everything leaders need to do and be. Accepting this in yourself and others demonstrates the courage, resilience, and humility required to be an effective leader.
A Challenge to Act Boldly in the ‘New Normal’
As leaders, our desire to maintain harmony, gain consensus and not make others uncomfortable can prevent us from taking the bold action that is necessary for change to occur. Did it take a tragedy like the pandemic to drive leaders to create bold change where necessary? Will leaders be willing to drive necessary systemic and organizational changes once we are back to our new normal?
