What If Leadership Was More Than a Buzzword
What if "Leadership" was more than a buzzword? What If...What if leadership was more than just another contentious term bantered around in meaningless conversations? What if leadership was truly understood, modeled, and actually experienced as the rule and not the exception?

Confidence vs. Arrogance
Confidence vs. Arrogance...is it merely a question of semantics? I think not. While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms. When you think of yourself as a leader do you view yourself as having the quiet confidence of David or the boastful arrogance of Goliath? In today's post I'll describe the power that resides with the truly…
Leadership & Change

It just made sense to me that if you really want to know what makes a great leader, that the best thing to…

Leadership Interview – Marshall Goldsmith
I recently had the pleasure of spending about 40 minutes on the phone with Marshall Goldsmith (@coachgoldsmith) whom I consider to be one of the best executive coaches in the business. In fact, I hold Marshall in such high professional regard that he is one of only three other coaches that I'll refer people to if I'm unable to meet their needs. Marshall has authored 30 books (most recently: What…
