By any conventional startup logic, LumberFi should already be slowing down. In just two years, the construction-tech platform has gone from zero to more than 70 employees, 5× annual growth, and recognition from both NASDAQ and the NYSE as one of the fastest-growing companies in its category. But founder and CEO Shreesha Ramdas is already operating in...
Across large enterprises, AI is moving quickly from experimentation into daily work. That shift is forcing leaders to confront issues they can’t delegate to technology: how performance is measured, how people are supported through change, and how values show up when machines start doing more of the work. Not every company is approaching those questions...
Fractional executives aren’t just a trend. They are now essential to the modern startup toolset. However, if bringing one part-time leader on board is a challenge, hiring several at once is a whole new management game, and most founders aren’t fully prepared. As more CEOs tap into a “portfolio” C-suite, the struggle shifts from simply getting the talent to actually...
When I look at the leaders best equipped to guide companies through the turbulence of AI transformation, one question keeps surfacing: Could tomorrow’s most successful CEOs come from today’s CTO and CIO ranks? Certainly not every future CEO will come directly from the CTO or CIO’s chair. But every successful CEO will need the qualities of...
After 25 years of coaching executive teams, I’ve seen countless company transformations first hand and it’s often not pretty. For many reasons, rarely do we get a real look under the hood in the books we read. When I picked up “Reinventing the Leader” by Guilherme Loureiro and Carlos Marin, I found something refreshing: a...
“Most organizations don’t fail from lack of talent or strategy—they fail because they’re stuck in outdated leadership models.”
Teamship flips the script: shifting from hierarchical leadership to peer-to-peer co-elevation where teams share the load, challenge with candor, and build trust through deliberate practices. The result? Faster decisions, higher accountability, and breakthrough performance that traditional leadership simply can’t deliver....
“Sarah Bond didn’t climb to the top of Xbox by following the old leadership playbook—she rewrote it.”
Her secret? Teamship—a peer-to-peer model where interdependent talent is unleashed, vulnerability builds trust, and shared leadership delivers impossible wins, from record growth to Microsoft’s $69B Activision Blizzard deal....
“I’m waiting for you to retire so we can get a divorce.” It was not the answer the chief financial officer of one of America’s largest public companies expected when he tried a workplace candor exercise on his wife. He had written her a dinner invitation suggesting they have a conversation about everything they never...
In an operating room, a surgical technician notices something concerning during a procedure. In traditional hospital hierarchies, they might hesitate to speak up. But a transformation in healthcare leadership is under way that would make that moment of hesitation unthinkable. The old deference to hierarchical leadership is giving way to a new mode of behavior...
As major corporations issue return-to-office mandates, organizational leaders focus on the wrong metrics. The critical question isn’t where employees work but how teams collaborate to drive results. Data from more than 3,000 global teams analyzed by the Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute indicates that transforming traditional leadership models to more collaborative peer-to-peer “teamship” yields measurable performance...
Most companies struggle to scale AI because they rely on top-down mandates. The real breakthrough comes from empowering “super users” and mobilizing peer-to-peer coaching networks—your black belts of AI—to spread adoption organically and sustainably across the workforce....
Our traditional instinct has been to look to our leaders to steer a clear path through uncertain and complex times. But marshaling the foresight to navigate today’s volatility and disruption requires something more than leadership. It requires teamship—the combined talent and insight of peers sharing the leadership load rather than expecting one heroic individual to...
As we look ahead to 2025, four shifts will help to determine which organizations thrive and which get left behind. These aren’t just predictions; they’re imperatives for any leader who wants to drive breakthrough performance in today’s volatile business environment. 1. The Shift from Leadership to Teamship For decades, business has elevated the role of...
