For the past two years, many conversations about AI in the workplace have revolved around productivity. How do we get more output? How do we automate tasks? How do we reduce cost? All important questions. But they’re still focused on efficiency while the real performance breakthroughs in organizations don’t come from speed alone. They come...
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...
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...
Sometimes, you get challenged with a question that opens up your goals—that reaches right into your why? An editor asked me recently, “What’s the most rewarding aspect of writing about leadership?” When I wrote my first book, Never Eat Alone, I had people from around the world tell me that it changed their life. When...
You know what it means, but have you ever had the feeling? Have you ever experienced what Harvard professor Amy Edmondson first described a quarter of a century ago—psychological safety, the belief you can share ideas or speak up without the risk of being put down by others? Have you ever worked in a team...
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...
