You don't have to be a great leader. In fact, you can be an above-average manager in today's work environment, make a pretty good living, and have a long-standing career. But then you would miss out on one of the great joys in life. Seeing someone else break through a barrier they didn't believe was possible. You could think of it this way: Believing...

    Courtesy of Building the Best Time doesn't just kill deals; it also demoralizes employees. Working for or with a toxic leader is draining. The longer a team member experiences an absence of empathy, poor communication, or a lack of vision, the more unhappy they are regarding their work. It's an age-old challenge for companies, big and small. Companies often find themselves left grappling with ineffective leaders or toxic leaders who deliver results but leave a wake of disaster behind them...

    Courtesy of Iven Joseph By Dr. Ivan Joseph When I was a new coach, one of the first things I did was enrol in a coaching license. I was excited because it was being taught by Anson Dorrance, head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. He had won 14 national championships and led the US women to Olympic and World Cup gold medals. I hung onto every word he said like it was gospel truth. One of his lessons has...

Many of our readers would question why an article such as this on a coaching website? Well let's put this in context: More and more coaches at the University and College levels have to deal with these types of parent in their coaching, and if it's not shut down quickly when they arrive, it can be 2 -5 years of "hell" especially...

    Leadership

    Letting someone go is one of the most challenging actions for any leader. Outside of an egregious reason that requires an immediate dismissal, letting someone go is often a defining moment of failure. Rarely do people fail alone. It's often a combination of a lack of skill, passion, work ethic, leadership, and coaching. While exceptions exist to every rule, involuntary turnover is a judgment of a team member's performance and a manager's leadership.   Involuntary turnover is a judgment of a...

    Courtesy of John Eades, Building The Best: The following post from John Eades on October 13, 2023 in his "Building The Best" weekly post from LearnLoft and he addresses the importance of measurement of performance. Most performance reviews are a gigantic waste of time and effort. Managers don't like them, team members despise them, and HR doesn't know what to think. However, before you start to believe this is a bashing session around performance reviews, think again.   Measuring performance...

    The following is from John Eades and the "Building The Best" weekly series from September 26, 2023. Making excuses is commonplace for many professionals. Who could blame them? Making an excuse is easier than taking responsibility. If that wasn't enough, it simply feels better to blame someone or something else for a mistake or a lackluster outcome.   However, just because something feels good doesn't mean it helps you. Take Shawn, a first-time manager, as an example. An HR executive...

It's often called "soft" or "moderately important." In reality, culture is anything but these things. In Building the Best, I defined culture as "The shared values and beliefs that guide thinking and...
