For many, the new year is an opportunity to press the reset button, to return to the fundamentals. I recently came across a 45 year old internal memo written by a person who was then the director of marketing at Nike. The memo stopped me in my tracks, first because it was so old, and second because it was so timely. It was entitled "Principles," and for as short as the memo was, it was chock full of wisdom for business leaders today.

In this video you’ll learn about executive presence, what it is and why it matters for leadership effectiveness. I recently returned from Santa Fe, New Mexico where I visited the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. O’Keeffe is well known as the artist who created the painting that commanded the highest price ever by a female artist: $44M in 2014. What I didn’t know about her until I visited the museum is that at her prime in the 1930s she was one of the most photographed women in the US, recognizable to millions and millions of Americans. Most of the museum was dedicated to her paintings, but there was a small room containing some of the photographs of her. Her powerful image jumps off the wall, and draws you in. Confident. Composed. Authentic. But executive presence isn’t just about how you look. Listen in, to find out the other secret ingredients of a strong presence.…

There’s something magical about gathering around a small campfire on a chilly night with friends. My most memorable campfire experience took place next to a lake on a retreat several years ago in the Berkshire Mountains with the members of my CEO peer advisory group. That evening each person took turns sharing an artifact, a physical object, that had special meaning for them. It was remarkable. There were tears and laughter and long silences. We learned things about each other that we otherwise never would have learned. In this blog you’ll learn what created the conditions for such an extraordinary evening, which displayed the power of peers.…

At a recent party someone asked me, “What do you do?” And she followed up with this: “Why do you do it?” The first question I get alot. But the second one—the “why”—got me thinking about my journey. I came to realize that the things that have had the greatest impact on me as a leader are not what you might expect: my parents’ roots and the activities I did as a kid; two elections in school; the insight not to be intimidated—nor seduced—by prestige; and what I learned from firing an entire Board of Directors and navigating a $120 million financial fraud. In this podcast you’ll learn a little about me, about what I do, and most importantly, why I do it. Perhaps these reflections on my journey will prompt you to think about your own.…

In this podcast you’ll learn why high performing teams need both visionary leadership and practical execution.…

Abe Lincoln is always at or near the top of the list when people are asked, “Who are the greatest leaders in history?” The genius of Lincoln was the team he assembled around him.

In this podcast CEOs and Owners will learn how to follow Lincoln’s lead by doing two critically important things. The first is surrounding yourself with the strongest leaders you can find.

Getting perspective in the midst of action is an essential leadership skill. Elite athletes have it, as do great military leaders and inspiring spiritual leaders. Walt Whitman called it “being both in and out of the game.” The horizontal dimension of leadership is all the stuff you have to do, it’s putting your head down and getting it down. The vertical dimension is lifting your head up and asking, “what’s really going on here?” For most leaders the vertical is the hard part. In this video you’ll learn more about why the vertical dimension of leadership is so critical, and some tips for how to practice it.…

Caitlin Clark plays basketball for the University of Iowa. She recently took over the top spot as the all-time scoring leader in the history of women’s college basketball, and also broke the men’s college basketball career scoring record that has been on the books for over 50 years. Clark has been described as “unstoppable….a supernova….a tsunami of impact!” People also talk about her swagger: the confidence, boldness and aggressiveness that she demonstrates on the court. Recent research on leadership highlights 22 behaviors of leadership effectiveness, and one of these dimensions is called “dominant,” which is the hunger we see in the best leaders. In this podcast you’ll learn what this essential leadership behavior looks like, and how Iowa’s “basketball supernova” exemplifies all that it means.…

A colleague of mine, Norma Rosenberg, says she loves when her non-profit and for profit CEOs get together, because they “rub off on each other.” Leaders grow when they’re exposed to different leadership approaches. And in the course of these interactions, divergent perspectives “rub off on each other” to the benefit of all. In this installment you’ll gain key insights on what business can learn from non-profits on two important topics: strategy and people.…
I recently went to an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum Art that got me thinking about leadership and in particular this question: what can we learn from our competitors? The exhibit focused on two painters from the 19th century—Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas. They were rock stars! (Think “Taylor Swift and Beyonce” from the 19th century!) And they had a complicated relationship over the years; they were friends and competitors, adversaries and even enemies for a time. But they leveraged what they learned from each other to become even more proficient—and creative—artists. The leadership take away for me was that we have a choice in how we think about our competitors. We can give in to the impulse to mock what they do, discredit them at every opportunity, even try to eliminate them. Or, we can step back and appreciate what they do, and look for ways to learn from them to improve our business and become a better leader. This podcast describes the unexpected painting that illustrates how even hostility can lead to innovation.…

I meet each month privately with my members where we really dig into the issues and opportunities specific to each member. In these sessions, I don't have all the answers. In fact, my philosophy in coaching is to ask the questions no one else is asking them. My role is to question their answers and help them get to the next level. This episode contains testimonials about the value of these one-to-one executive coaching sessions straight from my members themselves.…
A friend of mine recently returned from a long weekend with friends she has known for decades. When I asked about the weekend, she smiled and said, "I was with my tribe again: it was wonderful!" There are tribes in the workplace too, and the wonderful book "Tribal Leadership" points out that there are various stages of tribal development in organizations. And each stage has its own culture. What's the culture of our Vistage tribe, otherwise known as a peer advisory group? This video describes that culture, in the words of several of its members.…
When I was a teenager my mother used to talk about the importance of "keeping good company." It was another way of telling me to stay out of trouble! One of the business books on my shelf is called the "Power of Peers," and the subtitle always brings my mother to mind: "How the Company You Keep Drives Leadership, Growth and Success." When executives "keep good company" it allows them to leverage the collective wisdom of diverse perspectives to better meet challenges and identify opportunities. My Vistage peer advisory groups leverage the power of peers through the way we process business issues and opportunities. In fact, one of my CEO members told me that issue processing is the "secret sauce" of Vistage. In this video you'll learn why.…
One of the most common reasons I hear for not joining Vistage is, "I can't make the time." It's a great observation, because time is our most precious asset. And it's non-renewable. We all have the same number of hours each week: 168. The key question is how we spend the time we have. Vistage members don't join because they're looking for something to do. In fact, they are among the most productive leaders anywhere. As a colleague of mine is fond of saying, "Vistage doesn't take time, it nets time." How? By putting a stop to doing other people's jobs, by practicing how to delegate effectively, by getting home earlier, and by devoting more time to the most important relationships in their lives. In this podcast you'll hear how they manage the time commitment.…
