When leaders feel a lack of control, there is often an instinctive reaction to add process as a means to gain control. But adding process slows an organization down. There is also a tipping point where adding process has very unpredictable results due to interactions with the existing organizational cadence. I encourage leaders to test a few things before jumping to more process: 1) Is there information asymmetry? 2) Is there a strong shared understanding of goals and roles? 3) Is the composition of the project team right?

How I fall in love with the problem! 1. Leaders should ask big, inspiring questions rather than always providing answers. 2. Expressing vulnerability and asking for help builds trust and encourages collaboration. 3. Questioning leadership can reduce anxiety and foster a culture of learning. 4. Involving stakeholders inside and outside the organization leads to better problem-solving and innovation. 5. Sharing progress and insights, even small ones, reinforces the value of the questioning approach.

I recently spent 15 hours one on one training a new colleague before passing him off to his trainer. At the end of the process, it made me think about leadership and transcendence. In the world of secured finance, team building is more critical now than ever. Focusing on the ultimate goal of transcendence—creating more leaders—has a profound impact on our industry. Here are three key reasons why transcendence is essential: **Innovation and Adaptability** Empowered leaders drive innovation and help the organization adapt to changing market conditions. By fostering leadership at all levels, we enhance our capacity to navigate complex financial landscapes. **Increased Productivity** Teams led by strong leaders are more cohesive and motivated, resulting in higher productivity and efficiency. This directly impacts our bottom line and helps us achieve our financial goals. **Sustainable Growth** Cultivating leadership within our teams ensures long-term success and sustainability. As more leaders emerge, we build a resilient organization capable of withstanding challenges and seizing opportunities.

The sure fire way to make sure you have a great company culture!! (using coaching to get there) 1 - make sure humans are humaning 2 - make sure leaders are leading 3 - make sure teams are teaming Sounds ridiculous? Let me explain.... 1 - make sure humans are humaning This means that you look after the person holistically. People cannot compartmentalize as much as they claim. Humans need to feel, not repress. Give people the tools they need to be happy, healthy and productive. 2 - make sure leaders are leading It starts with setting an example. Leaders dictate the group culture. Every heard of the phrase "change must come from the top"? Leaders need to identify when and how to assume each of the 5 roles of leadership. 3 - make sure teams are teaming Once the leader is solid, the teams can understand the way they work together, how to resolve conflict and communicate with one another, work better together, and utilize opportunities to grow closer.

Leadership vs. Management: Why the Difference Matters Leadership and management often get mixed up, but they play distinct roles in any organization: • Leaders focus on vision and inspiration. They paint the big picture, encourage innovation, and connect with people personally to drive shared purpose. • Managers are about execution and structure. They create processes, oversee tasks, and ensure stability, guiding teams to meet goals efficiently. In short, leaders ignite change, while managers ensure control. The best teams blend both: leaders to set direction and managers to keep the journey steady.

Check out my latest Human Capital Leadership article, "Getting Beyond Superficial Feedback: How Leaders Can Elicit Honest, Productive Feedback to Improve Organizations." From the conclusion: "For leaders seeking to boost their effectiveness through better understanding varied stakeholder perspectives, they must go beyond surface-level feedback mechanisms to cultivate genuine candor. Research shows that with psychological safety, regular in-depth conversations, and transparent follow up, people will provide the specific, constructive input needed for organizational growth. Leaders who make feedback a priority through consistent, interactive processes gain insights enabling them to better support their teams in achieving shared goals. When approached systematically as a learning tool rather than a performance evaluation, feedback truly allows both leaders and their organizations to reach new heights."
