These are interesting times. The Great Resignation is a thing. The business landscape is ever changing, and leaders are challenged to find – and hold on to – good people.

The research is clear. People perform at their best when and only when:

They know their leaders care.

Their work has meaning.

They have a real chance to learn, grow and develop.

To accomplish this leaders today need:

Emotional intelligence

Strong interpersonal skills

Awareness

Bring out the best in your people. INSPIRE. EMPOWER. GUIDE.

“Overcoming resistance to change”. You hear about it all the time, especially as changes continue to emerge in your industry.

Change often brings resistance. Resistance is a signal that people are concerned, that they’re paying attention, and that adjustments might be needed.

More than anything else, people support change when they respect and trust their leaders. To earn respect, trust and loyalty, you have to extend it. The leader goes first!

This is exactly what you’ll dig into in RISING LEADERS–and more.
