We all know trust matters. But you can’t put “build trust” on your to-do list. Trust is accumulated through the small interactions we have with each other every day: what we choose to give, and what we choose to withhold.

What happens when leaders know their time together is limited? Here are six questions every leadership team should ask before handing the organization to its next leaders.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about lately is how easy it is to mistake strong execution for a strong organization.

Every leader wants a team that genuinely shares ownership of the mission. In this article, I explore one often-overlooked idea—and one simple question—that can help make that happen.

Creating the right environment is one of a leader’s most important responsibilities and helps teams do their best work together.

When projects stall, decisions get escalated, and leaders become bottlenecks, we often blame accountability, communication, or urgency. But sometimes the deeper issue is that people don’t believe they’re allowed to carry the ball themselves.

Most of us have also been on teams where two or more people couldn’t seem to work together, meetings were tense, and the friction affected everyone else. How do we create a leadership team that gets along better?

Misalignment has several potential causes. But beneath those symptoms is another cause I have seen play out that doesn’t get talked about enough.

When alignment starts slipping, most of us communicate more. But sometimes the deeper issue isn’t communication at all. It’s a lack of clarity about what matters most.
