<p>If you’ve been in our world for a hot minute, you’ll have heard us talk about the mental run up. <br/><br/>The mental run up is made up of automatic thought patterns in response to an upcoming situation. Some we’re...

<p>Being a passionate leader is an outdated goal. In fact, trying to run your team on passion alone is akin to running a team on adrenaline. It’s just not sustainable. And it can get in the way of strong...

<p>We work with a lot of teams in crisis. And where leaders are blindsided by incident after incident, we see the opportunity for people to find a performance edge and not miss the leadership lessons this crisis will...

<p>Leaders are often looked to as experts. But they’re not. The strongest leaders surround themselves with experts, which means, you don’t know the answer a lot of the time. <br/><br/>When leaders feel like they should...
