One of the better articles I've seen on hashtag lately. In my experience, delegating effectively and often is a true differentiator for people who aspire to senior leadership roles. I especially love this quote: "My advice is simple: When considering any meeting, task, or responsibility, always ask yourself, “Am I the best and cheapest person to get this done?” If the answer is no, delegate the work and give the person you’re handing it to the context needed to succeed." Are you delegating as much as you could be? Do any of the challenges cited resonate, and if so, what are you going to do about it?

All leaders—from new managers to seasoned executives—must delegate tasks to free up time and attention for the big-picture work their more-senior roles demand. But too often leaders find themselves caught in the weeds of ex*****on. This article helps leaders determine which work to keep and whic...

Insightful HBR article on . As should not surprise anyone, most organizations are frustrated at the quality of their succession planning efforts. This is evidenced by the lack of sufficient bench strength and successors who are ready when the need arises. I often talk about shifting from "replacement planning" to "succession readiness" and I love the term "failure proofing" used in the article. The concept of building scenario planning into succession efforts can also be valuable. What is your organization doing to enhance succession planning?

The potential upsides of effective succession planning are huge, and yet most companies are not realizing these benefits, even though many are spending countless hours on the effort. Although most succession planning processes no longer work for today’s business realities, companies can make a few...

So many decades of "automation" and yet most companies haven't broken the code of smooth implementation. In this post my colleagues and I from Forbes Coaches Council suggest some remedies. I argue that we still pay to little attention to the impact on the humans involved.

If companies rush to automate without fully understanding the processes, people or goals involved, it can lead to costly missteps and resistance from teams.

I've never heard of an employee coming into work thinking "Gee, I wonder what I can screw up today?" --and yet, as people managers we've all had to deal with employee performance problems. I weigh in with colleagues with some tips for dealing with under-performing employees. My tip is to remember to give praise when warranted, not just give corrective feedback hashtag

Using the right coaching techniques, people managers can uncover the root causes of their team members' performance issues and help turn challenges into breakthroughs.

Ever thought about serving on a Board? I share my thoughts about serving on a non-profit Board (which can lead to serving on a for-profit Board) with Forbes Coaches Council colleagues. Warming: beware of those expecting large financial contributions if you're not willing to do that!

Serving on a nonprofit board is a great way to apply your expertise outside your business, but making the most of the right opportunity takes more than good intentions.

"Hurry and care can't co-exist." So very true when it comes to people and relationships. Leaders who frequently cancel or re-schedule 1:1 meetings with team members, or hold them in a perfunctory way, may not realize the damage they are unwittingly doing. How often do you hurry and think you're still demonstrating caring?

According to recent research, just 39% of employees strongly agreed that someone at work cares for them as a person. Additional research shows that 30% feel “invisible” and 27% feel “ignored.” It’s hard for people to care or be engaged at work if they don’t first feel cared for. Feeling ...

As a businessperson with clients, it's important to have some tactics to stay connected even when you're not working on an active engagement. I share some tips with colleagues from Forbes Coaches Council

Staying engaged with clients and prospects strengthens trust, keeps a coach’s services top of mind, reinforces their value and opens doors to growth and referrals.

https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbescoachescouncil/2025/05/06/how-to-enhance-a-coaching-practice-19-technologies-coaches-rely-on/ Technology is everywhere, and while everything is not the best fit for everyone, technology that is a good fit can be a game changer. Thanks to Forbes Coaches Council for sharing my thoughts on technology that works well for coaches

The right technological solutions can remove friction from scheduling, communication and client tracking, which gives coaches more time to actually coach.

Have a hard time tooting your own horn? Some people still naively think the world of work is a meritocracy and excellence should speak for itself, but that's just not the way it works. As Klaus says in "BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It," you can bring attention to your accomplishments without boasting. I weigh in along with colleagues from Forbes Coaches Council

Letting others know the critical role you play in major wins ensures that your work is seen and valued—recognition that could ultimately lead to career advancement.

An effective way to enhance your business as a coach or consultant is to do public speaking. But how do you let people know you're available as a speaker? Happy to share my ideas with colleagues from Forbes Coaches Council

Speaking engagements are a powerful way to build credibility, expand your audience and attract new clients, but breaking onto the circuit requires more than expertise.

It's still the first quarter for companies whose fiscal year is the calendar year. If that's you, you've probably just completed the goal setting process,--or will have it completed soon! How well communicated and integrated are the goals within your organization? I weigh in on some best practices with colleagues from Forbes Coaches Council :

A manager’s role in helping team members set goals is pivotal to ensuring that each employee's development efforts contribute to strategic organizational objectives.
