    Leadership

    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...

    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...

    The following article is from Steve Wood Operations Director at Creative Foods, UK May 23, 2023. Courtesy of Steve Wood: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-wood-1a60a15b/ A #growthmindset is perhaps the thing above all others we look for in those who have the potential and ability to #lead. There are many other facets of character and behaviours that are required, yet without the spirit and appetite for improvement and leaning both individually and collectively very little can be achieved of substance and longevity. It is therefore, very important that...

    Courtesy of Building the Best The following article is courtesy of John Eades in "Building the Best" on may 23, 2023. The truth can set you free and create a brighter future than exists today. However, leaders often avoid the truth for fear of what might happen because of it. So they surround themselves with "yes" people who will shelter the truth and tell them what they want to hear. While it might seem like a good idea, a...

    The following post is courtesy of Robert Glazer's "Friday Forward" from February 17, 2023. Over the past decade, coaches and players in professional sports have criticized referees more openly and aggressively, with many star players setting the bad example. However, this is likely not because officiating has gotten worse in that time span. In fact, the reality is that officiating is probably better and more accurate now than at any other time in history. Referees have more technology at their disposal,...

    The following article is courtesy of John Eades in "Building the Best" on January 4, 2022. Ask a group full of professionals what they want from a manager, and chances are you'll hear "someone that cares about me" at least half the time. While it seems like an obvious and simple desire, the sad reality is that it's a rarity.   According to Gallup, managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores across business units, yet only 36%...
