I’m troubled by the recent trend among major companies enforcing strict “return to office” (RTO) policies. Here’s why.

My Boise State Broncos were struggling last year—until Coach Danielson stepped in. From that point on, the mood shifted and so did performance on the field. Fast forward to this season, and the Broncos continue to climb the ranks. What's the magic behind Coach D's leadership? I think it all comes down to this...

I was recently on a trip with a delayed flight when the gate agent came on the loudspeaker and made an announcement that went against all the advice I'd ever give a leader or organization. I was shocked. I share it all in this quick tip video.

This week's video is inspired by my daughter's reaction to her recent birthday gift. It got me thinking about the unassuming colleagues on our teams—the ones who quietly and selflessly contribute without seeking recognition. Join me as we address our tendency to inadvertently neglect these team members, and discuss how crucial it is to intentionally elevate them.

Recently, on a flight, I witnessed a flight attendant use a new approach that rallied all passengers together to accomplish a shared goal. As leaders, I believe we can learn from this approach and apply it to boost shared accountability within our teams.

Many years ago in high school, I had a rough basketball season. Instead of continuing to improve over time, my skills and execution deteriorated. Why? Because I was missing the three things that every team member needs in order to perform at their best. Do your employees have these three things from you?

Sometimes, we feel stifled by management, believing we could do our work more easily without the hierarchy in the way. Do we even need formal leadership structure in place if we have smart, high-performing employees? Google experimented with this idea in 2002. Find out what happened.

We all recognize the absolute importance of building trust on our teams, yet sometimes we're unsure of how to do it.

In this video, I draw on a recent parenting analogy to illustrate what I believe to be the most effective method for building trust with your employees.

This Two-Minute Tip stems from something I have really struggled with for years, so today's message has extra personal meaning for me.

I would absolutely love to see us reimagine the status quo in our workplaces around this challenge.

Please watch and, if you're a people leader, TAKE ACTION to challenge convention in your organization.

You know your team would benefit from more frequent team-building, but you don't know what to do or how to do it (and you certainly don't have time to research or design a bunch of activities!). Don't worry, I've got you covered. Watch this video to learn how to incorporate quick team-building activities into your regular team meetings without any pre-planning required.

Why is it that some employees are super motivated, while others seem quite the opposite? This can be one of the most frustrating things to navigate as a leader! Watch this video to learn how to overcome this challenge and spark motivation in every team member.

What happens when we make a mistake? Most of us try to find something or someone else to blame before taking ownership; yet we expect others to take full ownership immediately when they slip up. The healthiest teams have a norm of admitting mistakes and apologizing to one another quickly. If your team isn’t there yet, it’s time to set the tone and lead by example.
