Organizations, particularly startups, require changes in executive leadership talent in the business lifecycle to capitalize on growth potential. Sometimes CEOs are late to make the necessary executive team changes, which comes at a cost.

You’ve no doubt seen the video by now. Holding his phone up in the dark outside his office in Kyiv last Friday night, Ukrainian president Voldymyr Zelensky filmed himself and his top advisors to let his citizens and the world know he’s here, they’re here, and they’re not going anywhere.

To be a human-centered leader requires compassion, empathy, and kindness for someone it’s easy to overlook. If you’re serious about becoming a more human-centered leader, it’s vital to master one specific relationship: the one with yourself. This is a leadership relationship I often overlook. It’s so easy to have compassion and grace for other people while pushing myself for more and holding myself to an unreasonable standard of perfection or achievement.

We’ve all heard of the 5 Love Languages… right? But how many career development languages do you know? If you’re like many, the answer is just one: Promotions!

“All successful people have quit. Some, often. Knowing when to quit is essential.” — Scott Galloway We’ve all done it — staying too long at a company and then getting laid off. We get complacent — the high pay, knowing precisely what to do, having a lot of friends, getting into a comfortable routine, etc. We get LAZY. And then management comes along with an org change or a reduction in force and next thing you know, you’re updating your resume.

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.
