Building inclusive leadership requires getting comfortable with discomfort, taking daily small steps, and being selective with the feedback you listen to. The first time you presented to the executive team—you stuttered a bit, but you got through it. Discomfort doesn’t mean anything’s wrong. It means you’re growing. As you do the work to lead inclusively, you’ll return again to these moments of discomfort.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Why is using a growth mindset important in leadership? Some leaders actively avoid discomfort, not realizing that they are also avoiding the necessary growth that propels them to their best leadership. Great leadership doesn’t happen by itself. It happens when a leader decides to intentionally learn and grow, and to pursue that growth into the Discomfort Zone.

Retaining top talent and making sure employees feel engaged and appreciated is a perennial concern for every business. Since employees who walk out the door cost their companies up to 200 percent of their annual salaries to replace, retention is one of the most important issues facing businesses today.

Going out on a limb here on a Friday. I am a firm believer that businesses should start to shift to a 4-day workweek. Why? 1. Baby boomers for the most part have or are thinking about retiring - so the old adage of 'it's always been that way' is kind of a specious argument. As new generations jump onto the work bus and technology continues to improve, you are going to feel a sea-change from work-harder to work-smarter. 2.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

A leader I was coaching was always complaining about how busy he was, how he never had enough hours in the day and was always feeling ragged and running late. We worked together to explore how he was spending his time, and we discovered that he was literally doing everyone else’s job on his team. I told him that if he wanted to be a great leader—and reclaim his time—he would have to learn to stop doing other people’s jobs.
