Leaders today need more skills than ever before. Yet, it's harder for today's leaders to invest consecutive days focused on development. How are we solving for this challenge? One of the ways is through learning journeys--spreading development out over time, leveraging a blended approach (e.g., live virtual or in-person sessions, self-paced online learning, 1:1 or group coaching). This webinar will give you valuable insight into how we're meeting leaders where they are at and achieving the goals of positive behavior change and enhanced business results. #learningovertime #learningintheflowofwork #leadership #blanchard

As #AmyEdmonson says so perfectly: “The biggest misconception is that psychological safety is about being nice.” We’ve seen leaders and teams spend a lot of time either avoiding conflict (creating an environment of artificial harmony) or engaging in unproductive, unhealthy conflict (creating an unsafe or even abusive environment). They often miss the sweet spot in the middle. We help people embrace and own this productive-tension sweet spot where they can use conscious communication to explore goals and perspectives in a way that creates connection rather than disconnection. #ConscousCommunication #ConsciousTeams #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipCoaching #TheAllyCo

The truth is, good management isn’t about being a boss; it’s about being a leader. Recently, my dear colleague Melody Rose, NACD.DC, Ph.D. posted an article from Insidehighered 4 Ways to Reduce Higher Ed’s Leadership Deficit, which Jay Stephens authored. Reflecting on the post and article has prompted me to contemplate my experiences. For those unfamiliar with my background, my career commenced in HR, and I have always been deeply passionate about effective management practices and the profound impact of leaders on employees. I used to think that management was about giving orders and making sure tasks were completed on time. But I quickly realized that’s the quickest way to lose your team’s trust and loyalty. Good management is a skill—one that’s honed through empathy, communication, and leading by example. 1. **Listen More Than You Speak:** The best managers aren’t the ones who talk the most; they’re the ones who listen. Truly understanding your team’s needs, challenges, and aspirations will give you the insights you need to lead effectively. 2. **Empower Your Team:** Micromanagement stifles creativity. Instead, I’ve learned to trust my team to make decisions. When people feel empowered, they’re more engaged and motivated to go above and beyond. 3. **Lead by Example:** I realized that my actions set the tone for the entire team. If I wanted my team to be empathetic, dedicated, and hardworking, I had to model that behavior first. 4. **Provide Constructive Feedback:** Instead of just pointing out mistakes, I focus on offering solutions. Feedback should be a tool for growth, not a weapon for criticism. 5. **Celebrate Successes:** Recognizing achievements, big or small, boosts morale and reinforces positive behavior. A simple ‘thank you’ or ‘well done’ goes a long way in building a motivated team. Share your thoughts in the comments below! #ImpactfulLeadership #leadership #highereducation #management
