True leaders meet change head-on.

Change isn’t an obstacle to be avoided. It’s a catalyst that tests and defines leadership.

As you finish this week, ask yourself: “Am I confronting change or simply adjusting to it?

“What is a strategy?” is a question that's rarely discussed during a strategic planning process. This article is the first installment on why having a definition of a strategy for your organization helps strategy execution. https://t.co/Tb6I172nWH

When directors think about the numerous challenges facing their boards, one challenge probably never comes to mind: confirmation bias. My @NACD article provides suggestions for addressing confirmation bias at the board level.

We get what we respect, not what we expect.
I was always told to have high expectations… that my expectations would determine what I experienced. Instead, it's been what I showed appreciation for and gave honor to that has come to me.

I remember seeing an interview of her when I was a teenager. She had the most serious expression on her face when she declared that she would only do parts that portrayed strong Black women. I'm grateful for her commitment and will always remember her example.

“The job of a leader is to bring a sense of certainty to uncertain futures.” A common trait among leaders who accelerate company growth and sustain the gains is that they continually increase confidence in the belief that a specific future state will occur.

Had a fabulous time sharing on “The Power of Uncertainty” at the Conscious Leadership Summit. It's hard to go one day without seeing a headline about “uncertainty” in a negative way. Let's not forget that there are opportunities in uncertainty too.

My father's dream is not just a speech he gave or an idyllic view of what could be. My father's dream is something we must all choose each and every day to work towards. Together, we are all my father's legacy. #MLKDay

Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech is still relevant and inspirational for our times. Today is a great time to listen to the full speech, and allow the spirit of his message to take root in our hearts and help bring peace to our nation.

Profitably balancing your time between STRATEGIC work and CORE work is table stakes for top leaders. Acting as if you can’t do anything strategic while working on core projects is one of the easiest ways to disqualify yourself for advancement.

Happy to share an article I'm featured in on scenario planning in @InTouchNetworks Magazine. Scenario planning is a powerful tool for increasing crisis response readiness and developing strategic thinking skills of leaders.
