60% of CEOs said that creativity was their most sought after leadership quality. Engaging with a new generation of employees, partners and customers. Inventive in expanding management and communication skills, invite disruptive innovation, drop outdated approaches, take balanced risks.
Visionary ‘’Come with me’’ – best when a change in direction is necessary.
Coaching ‘’Try this’’ – to help an employee improve performance or develop long-term strengths.
Affiliative ‘’People come first’’ – to heat rifts in a team or to motivate people during stressful circumstances.
Democratic ‘’What do you think’’ – to build consensus or to get input from valuable employees.
Pacesetting ‘’Do as I do, now’’ – to get quick results from a highly motivated and competent team.
Commanding ‘’Do what I tell you’’ – in a crisis, to kickstart a turn around, with problem employees.
The workspace is changing, leadership is changing. The future is Habits of Collaborative Leaders. Collaborate leaders believe power is greatest in a collective team, openly share information and knowledge, encourage suggestions and ideas from their team, facilitate brainstorming with their team, enable their team by allocating time and resources right away, allow roles and responsibilities to evolve and fluctuate, offer immediate and ongoing feedback and personalized coaching.
Habits of Collaborative Leaders will eclipse competition every time.
Individual work will always have its place in the office but teamwork and collaboration boost overall company success.
I hope your team will be transformed from Me into We and my post will help your company drive innovation, productivity and growth.

I’m already working–virtually, of course–with clients on what comes after COVID and what the future may hold. One trend is clear: the “virtualization” of our world has greatly accelerated. Work from home, telemedicine, virtual shopping, distance learning, socializing, exercise: more activities than we might imagine will move to the virtual world during the rest of […]
We are only as unified as our loneliest team or Disconnected Worker community members. No one is immune to feeling lonely at work—not even the outgoing top sales associate, the customer success representative that brings her dog into the office, or the charming vice president who always declines every happy hour invitation due to “overcommitments.” Entry-level […]
Whenever I speak about my entrepreneurial journey on Digital Inclusion, I often start by stating that I’m from Terry, MS. The big city of Terry with a population of a little over one thousand residents and only stop signs, no stoplights. I open with that statement because I want anyone reading or hearing about my […]
If we are going to do new things to survive in the Industrial Age, we are going to meet uncertainty. If we are going to meet uncertainty, we are going to discover risk. A show of hands… How many people, when you were 12, 13, 14 years of age, had a mother or a father […]

As we strive to position ourselves as top-level experts in our industry, a demure and deferring persona […]
The most common question I am asked when I identify myself as a mountaineer is “Why take on a challenge?” From my education as a life coach, I’ve learnt that the neurology (the brain) doesn’t like the question “Why” very much – in fact the neurological reaction is to defend, justify or shut down.
