Leading a Burned-out Workforce
Post-COVID research from HBR, Gallup, and others is revealing that about half of us are in denial and telling ourselves lies. We have been distancing ourselves from the real problem… often to protect ourselves, our leadership gaps, and frankly our organizational pressures.
What can you do for yourself and your team? What can provide a lasting change and address root causes, not just symptoms?

Fixing Delivery in the Boardroom
It’s not surprising that large complex organizations are challenged to execute with predictability.
It’s not that we don’t realize our problems are systematic and only we are able to address them in the executive layer (aka “the boardroom”). Do we really believe these issues are better solved downstream by managers & teams… or are we simply distancing and avoiding dealing with these issues ourselves?
