LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO CHALLENGE THE WAY OTHERS THINK “Leaders are critical thinkers. There is no idle mind in a leader. When the thoughts which dominate the mind of a leader are trapped in the head of the leader no one benefits. Whether held back because of convention or conviction those thoughts are missed critically.…
SPEAKING TRUTH IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT IS A LEADERS OBLIGATION “Finding the time, the space and the opportunity to share your ideas in a sympathetic crowd seems like the easy part as a leader or professional communicator.

A GREAT SPEECH OR SPEECH GIVER DOES NOT A GREAT LEADER MAKE “The relationship between strong communication skills and strong leadership is a paradox.

Ironically, we are simultaneously responsible FOR none of them. Perhaps in some…

Exposing your weaknesses and humanity as a leader can lead to blind spots being exposed you are not aware of. A great team will know when you have blind spots and your inner circle will expose…
LEADERS MUST REGULARLY REARRANGE THE FURNITURE IN THEIR MIND or AI WILL “The notions of AI becoming a major contributor to the body of work we consider intellectual prowess is concerning to me. I won’t call it a fear but a caution. When we consider how often a book or lecture can challenge, shape and…
SUCCESS ISN'T PERMANENT - FAILURE ISN'T FATAL - CRITICISM ISN'T CRITICAL “After 30 years of marriage, I have learned some of the highest praise I can expect from my wife is “ya”. That’s it.
