Groups that choose together win together, and groups that can't choose together tend to lose together in ways that are entirely preventable.

We wrote about what good governance actually requires on the @Navalent blog.

Conflicting feedback is worth getting curious about rather than resistant to. It often reveals a gap between what you intend and what people actually experience.

I wrote about how to make sense of conflicting feedback for @HarvardBiz:

Cultures that can tolerate uncertainty make better decisions. The ones that can't tend to find out the hard way.

Ask people to come to meetings with both the pros and cons on issues. Make it a routine to invite differing views when making decisions.

With layoffs up, job openings shrinking, and AI making entire categories of work uncertain, some leaders are tightening flexibility and ramping up surveillance.

After diagnosing 200+ organizations over the last decade, we've consistently seen that employees thrive when four integrated needs are all met at once.

I wrote about what it takes to build and sustain all four on the @Navalent blog.

Organizational unity is hard work. It doesn't come from sprinkling cohesion pixie dust over the organization.

I wrote about the three most common ways leaders undermine cohesion while trying to create it for @HarvardBiz:

We measure the ROI of change in many different ways, but we should also measure it in the resilience of those who lead it.

Because no matter how good the strategy or execution is, the transformation cannot outlast the leader spearheading it.

End of year performance reviews are outdated.

In this Next Economy Now podcast episode, I shared strategies for exchanging a regular diet of open communication and feedback to break away from the outdated annual performance review model.

As AI automates more work, the people who know you, trust you, and champion you increasingly determine what's possible for you.

Pick up The New Social Code. It'll change how you think about where you invest your time and attention.

Authenticity done well isn't static. It deepens as the demands of leadership deepen.

My friend and longtime collaborator Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and I wrote about what authenticity actually looks like in @FastCompany:

Waiting to remove someone from your team doesn't protect the person. It prolongs their public struggle, drives away talent, and compromises the entire team.

One of the most underused tools in a manager's toolkit is a question.

"When you've learned something new in the past, what approach worked best for you?"

Not everyone learns the same way.

What's one way a manager adapted their approach to how you learn that made a difference?

[Ron Carucci @RonCarucci]

If your boss is doing parts of your job, don't assume they know it. Most don't. And the conversation, handled well, is more welcome than you'd expect.

I wrote about how to approach it in @HarvardBiz:

The organizations that come out of difficult periods stronger aren't usually the ones that hunkered down the hardest.

Open-mindedness isn't a feeling. It's a practice. And most of us are much further from it than we think.

I wrote about five ways to honestly assess whether your actions actually match your self-proclaimed open-mindedness in @Forbes.

Making it psychologically safe to speak up is one thing.

Setting an expectation that people actually do it is another.

What's one way you've built a genuine expectation of candor on your team?

One of the questions I get asked often is: if I change the patterns that drove my success, do I lose the ability that came with them?

I had a rich conversation with Jem Fuller on the Unknown Path Podcast about exactly this.

Every leader is running a program they didn't consciously install.

My colleague and friend @iamseblittle and I call these leadership origin stories, and next week, we're bringing this work to the Purpose Summit in Atlanta.

I hope to see you there: https://t.co/253u5sniZn

World Mental Health Day may have passed, but the need for leaders to show up for their teams’ mental health hasn’t.

I wrote about what that actually looks like in @Forbes.
