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“Most organizations don’t fail from lack of talent or strategy—they fail because they’re stuck in outdated leadership models.”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....
Twenty years ago, I wrote Never Eat Alone, a book that transformed how millions approach networking and relationship-building. As I reflect on the book’s 20th anniversary year and two decades of working with leaders and teams across the globe, one truth stands out: the power of meaningful connections to achieve ambitious goals has been the...
In today’s fast-paced business world, the ability to learn and adapt quickly isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential for survival and success. We cannot possibly think we are equipped for what is happening around the corner. That’s everyone and every team—including the C-suite. There is a false belief among people who reach the leader ranks...
When most CEOs were focused solely on the bottom line in the early 2000s, Zappos founder Tony Hsieh was busy rewriting the rules of corporate culture. Hsieh’s radical idea? That prioritizing employee happiness and personal growth could be a powerful driver of business success. Under Hsieh’s leadership, Zappos became renowned not just for its customer...
The future belongs to teams that can see it coming—but our research shows that only 25% of Fortune 500 companies have a consistent, structured approach to anticipating and navigating disruption. Let that sink in for a moment. In a world where change is the only constant, three out of four of the biggest, most resource-rich...
In the heat of a high-stakes championship game, a coach throws a red flag onto the football field. Play pauses. The team does not dwell on mistakes or look to place blame; they want to check everyone is aligned and playing by the agreed-upon rules. Now let us imagine that same commitment to shared accountability...
In today’s volatile world, the most successful teams are bold in their thinking, inclusive in their collaboration, and fast in their decision-making—as a team, they’ve learned to discuss, disagree, and decide well. The vital element in this relational dynamic is trust. But it hasn’t happened by chance. In the top 15% of organizations, trust is...
If you’ve ever heard of holacracy, your reaction might have been skeptical, similar to mine, when I first learned about it from my dear friend, the late Tony Hsieh of Zappos. Holacracy is the principle of self-management and self-directed teams. For decades now with the flattening of organizational structures, it has been more and more...
Speaking with business leaders at Davos earlier in the year, I was struck by a theme I kept hearing – that more than ever they have to deal with the divisive debates racking our society infecting the workplace. The words I kept hearing to describe this increasingly poisonous atmosphere was that “hateful” exchanges were increasingly...
