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“Most organizations don’t fail from lack of talent or strategy—they fail because they’re stuck in outdated leadership models.”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....
For decades, business has elevated the role of the leader. But our research with more than 3,000 teams reveals a stark reality: traditional leadership approaches leave leave billions of dollars of shareholder value on the table. When teams adopt what I call “Co-elevation” – a commitment among teammates to win together and push each other...
David Brancaccio, host of Marketplace Morning Report, the long-running public radio show, is a master of the art of sharp questions—and he aimed one in my direction he interviewed me this week about the difference between good leaders and great teams. “I think many people listening will be scarred by some of their previous experience...
Forget what you thought you knew about leading teams—old ideas no longer apply in a world of remote work, artificial intelligence, and constant disruption. In fact, just 15% of the world’s most successful companies have engineered a totally new way of collaboration. To win in today’s volatile world, you cannot think your way into a...
For years, I almost turned my back on by bestselling book, Never Eat Alone. Despite the book’s global success, I was reluctant to be labeled “the networking guy.” I always felt my mission was different: cracking the code of how to create better organizations, transform business and transform the world. But 20 years after writing...
One of the most successful senior executives I know at a Fortune 100 company makes a ritual of airing his team’s dirty laundry once a week — he calls it the Outlier Meeting, and it’s where hard issues stay on the agenda until they are fixed. “This isn’t the time or place for parade laps...
Organizations often talk about the types of culture they want to see—a candid culture, a collaborative culture, an accountable culture, a customer-centric culture, an agile culture, an inclusive culture, a resilient culture, or a culture with a growth mindset. But they miss that it all can simply boil down to the execution of simple practices...
Alignment is one of the rare attributes of truly world-class teams—and a true competitive advantage. The world may be volatile and uncertain, but dream team members know what their peers are working on, what goals are being activated; they know everyone is aligned on the same critical mission. By contrast, teams in siloed organizations are...
There’s a practical question I’m sometimes asked by leaders as they shift their teams from slow and siloed ways of working to fast, bold and inclusive collaboration: “How do we keep track of rapid decisions when we’re playing as a team?” It’s a critical question in today’s fast-paced business environment. As organizations move away from...
