Several years ago, on a trip to Hawaii, I decided to escape the afternoon sun for a complementary ukulele lesson offered by a local musician, Jason Jerome. About ten hotel guests gathered – from age 8 to 80 – to learn a little about how to play the instrument… and a lot more. After a few minutes of instruction, we had mastered three simple chords that would allow us to play hundreds of songs. Sensing that we were ready to go to the next level and get fancier with our technique, Jason took the opportunity to demonstrate his mastery of the instrument with a complex piece… and even more c…

What does it take for employees to truly grow in the workplace? Many point to the employees themselves – the need for initiative, resourcefulness and personal drive to clarify direction, goals and action steps. Others focus on the leader and their central responsibility to perpetuate the organization by developing talent. The good news is that everyone is right. Sustainable career development has never been a solo journey—it’s a partnership. That Goldilocks balance of employee motivation and leadership support, growth creates an unbeatable employee experience and the growth that employee…

As we enter 2025, the dynamics of leadership and organizational success continue to shift under the weight of complex global challenges and transformative trends. Today’s business landscape demands that leaders adopt bold strategies to navigate uncertainty, engage their teams meaningfully, and drive sustainable growth. Three interconnected priorities stand out as essential for 2025: scaling, aligning expectations, and redefining development. Scaling: A Year to Amplify What Works The mantra for 2025 might well be “scale or stagnate.” Organizations face mounting pressure to magnify the imp…

The modern workplace is undergoing a dramatic transformation. With roles constantly evolving, new ways of working emerging, and organizations increasingly focused on skills-based hiring, employees are finding it harder than ever to keep their careers on course. According to Mercer, 60% of employees feel physically and emotionally drained at the end of each day, making it clear that the old tools we’ve relied on for career development may no longer suffice. How to Embrace Your Career Compass In my latest article for ATD, I discuss how today’s professionals can embrace a new kind of career c…

Effort, not just time, is often the biggest hurdle when it comes to professional development. In today’s fast-paced work environment, both leaders and employees can feel overwhelmed by the thought of adding more to their plates. But what if development didn’t have to be a heavy lift? What if we could integrate it into the work we’re already doing, making growth feel natural and effortless? The reality is that development doesn’t require extraordinary effort or hours of focus. In fact, some of the most powerful growth happens in small, manageable moments that are embedded in everyday ta…

  “Symbols can be so beautiful, sometimes.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut, “Breakfast of Champions” Sandra described the past week of headaches associated with a systems conversion that took place in the call center in which she works as a customer service representative. She outlined the many hiccups and problems they encountered, the way data dropped out of fields, and calls that were habitually misdirected. She described the 14-hour days that would likely go on for another week or so, the intensity of the customers’ expectations, and management’s scrutiny. When I responded empathetically ab…

The frustration was palpable within a group of leaders with whom I recently worked. They were in a tough spot. Competition was emerging from unexpected sources. Revenue was not tracking to meet expectations. The organization was responding with significant structural change. And these leaders had been told by executives that if the business was to survive, they had to improve their Coaching ability and results. One leader, unable to contain his urgency and angst, blurted out, “Just tell us the four or five steps we have to take to become better coaches.” Another jumped in with, “Certain…

Everywhere we turn—conferences, leadership forums, executive meetings—employee happiness (or the lack thereof) is a hot topic. And it makes sense. Research from BambooHR and others tells us employee happiness is at a historical low. The past few years—with all its upheaval—have inspired many to re-evaluate their relationship with work. And a lot of employees have discovered that relationship is falling short of what they want and need. The once-standard career trajectory and traditional trappings of success don’t have the same power they once did. Now, people are measuring success di…

“We’re living in a time of unprecedented change.” If I had a dime for every time I heard that phrase over the past few years, I’d be a wealthy woman. But it’s undeniably true. Rapidly advancing Technology, the proliferation of AI, shifting demographics, changing global markets, organizational realignments, and more continue to transform the workplace in profound ways and at a profound pace. It’s easy, as a leader, to focus on the mechanics of what must happen, and the action steps and milestones required to reach the future state. In the process, we can forget that change is fundam…

As 2024 begins, it’s seductive to make declarations about how things (including ourselves) will be different in the coming year. Daily exercise Kind words to the crotchety co-worker No sugar The list goes on. The problem is that too frequently we jump to these resolutions prematurely. They end up operating in a vacuum and without context… more like challenges than congruent, integrated intentions. They capture our intention for a few weeks, but they fail to capture our imaginations and hearts sufficiently to carry them further. And it’s all because we skip an important step: we look fo…

The talent development strategy of mentorship is getting a lot of attention these days. From books to boardrooms, everyone is trying to crack the code and tap its potential and power. Mentors have the ability to accelerate the growth of others through their generous sharing of their perspectives, time, insights, coaching, and experience. Is this a selfless act of service? Not even remotely. Savvy mentors stand to gain as much from the experience as do the protégés they guide… and frequently a lot more. Are you on the fence about becoming a mentor?

Despite high-profile examples of organizations requiring employees to return to the office, the reality is that plenty of leaders continue to find themselves in the position of managing employees who don’t routinely share the same working space. Many organizations have made the commitment to continue to tap a wider talent pool, to allow for the autonomy and work-life balance that employees desire, and to take advantage of the agility that a distributed workforce is uniquely positioned to deliver. And yet, despite advances in technology and several years of experience and experimentation, cha…

Lean in.

I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much as I dressed in pink and headed off with the family to see Barbie last weekend. Without spoiling the plot for those of you who have yet to see it, this movie offers a surprising commentary on such things as Aging, the patriarchy, development, and even the workplace. I never would have guessed that a plastic doll would inspire such interesting discussions in social media and real life.

Experiencing stumbles and setbacks can teach us a lot about ourselves – a lot about being a leader. I was reflecting on a stage production of Circus 1903 I attended several years ago. It was a variety show featuring turn-of-the-century circus acts. The audience enjoyed heart-stopping performances from high-wire artists, aerialists, contortionists, and acrobats from around the world. (While this isn’t intended to be a review, I can highly recommend the show!) Even a few years later, I remember that each act was an impressive display of a lifetime (sometimes generations) of muscle and skill …

Question: What do employees crave, expect, and consider leaving their current jobs for… but increasingly are not taking the initiative to pursue? Answer: Career development! Despite high-profile research studies highlighting the importance of career development to employees worldwide, leaders report that employees are taking a noticeably more passive approach than in the past. They typically attribute this inertia to generational factors, entitlement, and shifting power dynamics. But in conversations with employees, I hear something very different.

Career development appears at the top of many lists. Unfortunately, they tend to be lists focused on what employees desperately want but are not getting from managers. As for managers, most appreciate the value of career development and really wish they could do it more frequently and more effectively. But let’s face it: A manager’s day-to-day reality is a kaleidoscopic blur of meetings, responsibilities, and shifting priorities.

‘Love’ is a word that only recently has crept into our workplace vocabulary. And it’s an appropriate addition! Sustainable satisfaction and success demand work that people love.

So, this month, in honor of Valentine’s Day, our Carnival will focus on what leaders can do to help others – and themselves – to love their work… and the results that follow.

Most workers don’t aspire to leadership roles. That’s the key finding of The 2022 Everywhere Workplace Report by Invanti. In fact, well over the majority at 71% of employees are saying no to a promotion preferring working from anywhere instead. This is interesting data for organizations and leaders everywhere. First, it might settle the nerves of managers and supervisors because it confirms that not every employee is looking to rise up through the ranks.

I’ve never been comfortable talking about myself. Standing up in class each fall to share how I spent my summer vacation made me squirm. College essay writing was painful. And I’ll be honest – even today as I begin a talk or workshop with a quick introduction, in the back of my mind a quiet (sometimes loud) voice asks, ‘who cares?’. Asking questions and listening deeply. Processing the experiences and insights of others. Facilitating the wisdom of the group. These are all natural ways of interacting for more reserved, facilitative leaders like myself. But putting ourselves and our li…

Many definitions of “leadership” exist; but the ones that always resonate for me involve an element of bringing people along, helping them grow and progress, and facilitating their development as people and their careers. And I have the feeling that similar definitions are deeply held by many leaders – especially given the frequency of one question I’m asked over and over: “What should I do with my ‘I’m good where I am’ employee who lacks ambition, doesn’t seem to want to grow, and is completely disinterested in moving up, over, or anywhere?” My answer to these leaders – …
