Musk's five-step process to bust internal bureaucracy sounds so simple, but the impact can be huge. This impact, by the way, can go far beyond just applying the five steps in production settings. https://t.co/73lyYdCQJ4 #corporaterebels @corp_rebels

A new reason to work out in the morning: it builds confidence to overcome obstacles.

On days when people exercise before work, they’re more engaged and less exhausted. They see tasks as challenges to conquer rather than threats to avoid.

Early wins boost energy and efficacy.

@changemtrs Glad to hear! We officially know each other now 😉

Adding a regular retrospective (i.e. debrief) into a team's rhythm is one of the first practices I introduce to teams, and always see immediate benefit.

It's amazing what comes up in conversation when you create the right time and space for it.

Teams that do regular debriefs (meetings focused only on learning from past team performance) improve team performance by up to 25%, but they are often infrequent, conducted only after things go wrong or big projects end.

When you burn people out, you push them out. Stars are the first to leave—they have the most opportunities.

The solution is not to pile on the perks. It’s to pinpoint the root causes of overload and design more manageable jobs.

If you want to keep people, stop exhausting them.

I get asked often about how to retain great employees.

The answer isn't complicated:

Show them that they matter to you.

People will stay committed to you if they believe that you are committed to them.

Leadership begins with you – more than simply following where we’re going, people follow who we are.

I call this the "personal" level of leadership.
There are at least 3 more.

Something not feel right in your workplace?

If disrespect or injustice is occurring, you're likely in one of four roles, each with its own set of responsibilities.

Let's put an end to toxic workplaces

“A strategy designed to allow an organization to adapt to the market cannot be executed by an organization that cannot adapt to the strategy. ” 

Most strategic plans are dead in the water because the organization doesn't know how to change

Without engaged employees, a great business strategy is just a good idea
