What is the principal challenge facing business leaders today? The answer most management experts will give you is that “success is changing”. In simple terms, success today does not guarantee success tomorrow. The life expectancy of Fortune 500 companies is falling. The average tenure of CEOs is falling. Disruption and non-linear change are now the […]

Are you suffering from executive loneliness? Could it be that you’re using the wrong leadership configuration for your personality?

Are you working “on” yourself and your business enough? One of the challenges of being a busy executive, business owners or independent professional is that you are often time poor. Ironically though, if you don’t change where you are headed you are likely to end up where you are going. That is, unless you regularly […]

You’ve concluded that it’s time you engaged a business or executive coach. You’ve done your research and chosen the coach you’d like to hire.

Are you considering whether to merge your business with another business? Or, are you considering acquiring a business and integrating it into your existing business? Perhaps you’ve been charged with bringing two or more businesses together and it’s not clear whether it will be a merger or an acquisition. Maybe you are mid-way through a […]

In studying leadership, a topic that is often overlooked is followship. Followship is a willingness to accept direction and guidance from leaders in an organisation. An employee who practices followship recognizes that any effective organisation needs both leaders and followers. However, I would go one step further: great leaders create space for people on their […]

Former Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, says she wishes she did.

When you think about a typical organisation chart, it looks like a pyramid, with the people in senior leadership and management positions at the top of the pyramid. As you work your way down, you’ll find customer service staff and administrative employees at the bottom. In other words, the “big wigs” are at the top, […]

In my special report “Untapped”, I introduce the idea of an “Unnatural Leader”. It is a concept that I coined as a result of coaching and mentoring hundreds of CEOs and Managing Directors over the past fifteen years on how to harness more of the leadership potential within their organisations.

Clarity is an extremely important concept. It is one many CEO’s and executives don’t focus on until it is too late. Without clarity a CEO will quickly find himself and his organisation in trouble. Lacking clarity is a leadership failure, but it is a temporary one. It is one which can be easily resolved and […]

We received a strong response to our recent post “Managing Your Household – Part 1”. The idea that to put the world in order, we must first put our family in order, seems to have struck a chord. In that article, I invited you to consider the following question: “What if you thought of your […]

We often hear the complaint that “the leadership is not providing enough leadership”. In doing so, we confuse leadership with authority. In those cases, what people mean is that those people with authority are not exercising enough leadership. What if you thought about “leader” as a verb rather than a noun? Think about WHAT it […]
