The future of work is rapidly evolving, driven by advancements in technology, changing employee expectations, and a shifting global economy. According to a recent report by the World Economic Forum, 50% of all employees will need reskilling due to technological disruption. For leaders, the challenge is clear: adapt now or risk being left behind. Preparing for the future of work means fostering flexibility, embracing technology, and developing skills that will carry teams through uncertain times.

As an executive leadership coach, I’ve guided leaders through transformative periods. Those who embrace change build more resilient teams. Leaders need the skills and mindset to navigate and lead through these shifts. Preparation is not about predicting the future but creating a culture ready to thrive.

The future demands leaders and teams that are flexible and open to continuous learning. Cultivating a growth mindset means encouraging your team to see challenges as opportunities to learn. Leaders who promote this mindset inspire employees to embrace change, innovate, and take calculated risks—key components of thriving in an ever-evolving work environment.

Technology will continue to reshape how we work. Leaders need to proactively adopt new technologies and encourage their teams to leverage these tools. This doesn’t just boost productivity but also positions the organization as a forward-thinking leader in its industry. By embracing technology, leaders model adaptability, fostering a culture that isn’t afraid of the unknown.

The human element will always be crucial in leadership, especially in the future of work. Developing emotional intelligence (EI) helps leaders connect on a deeper level with their teams, understanding their fears and motivations. Strong EI allows leaders to navigate challenges with empathy, build trust, and foster a collaborative work environment—essential in times of transition.

Future work environments will prioritize flexibility. Leaders who trust their teams and provide them with autonomy empower employees to manage their work-life balance effectively, leading to higher engagement and productivity. Promoting flexibility also helps attract and retain top talent, showing that the organization values work-life harmony.

To stay ahead, leaders must prioritize ongoing learning. Investing in reskilling and upskilling initiatives ensures that your team is prepared for the demands of tomorrow’s job market. Offering training programs or encouraging professional development opportunities will build a workforce that is capable, motivated, and ready for change.

Preparing for the future of work is an opportunity to build a resilient, innovative organization. By fostering a growth mindset, embracing technology, and investing in your team’s development, you can lead confidently through uncertainty. Exceptional leadership inspires growth, adaptation, and success in a changing environment. The actions you take today will shape how your organization thrives tomorrow.

Lead from Within: The future belongs to leaders who ignite passion, embrace uncertainty, and cultivate a culture of resilience and collaboration that drives everyone forward at work.

The post The Most Effective Way Leaders Can Prepare For The Future Of Work appeared first on Lolly Daskal.

Toxic work behaviors have become a silent productivity killer in today’s workplace. A recent study by Harvard Business Review found that toxic employees can have a far-reaching negative impact, not only affecting their direct peers but also reducing overall team performance and morale. Left unaddressed, these behaviors create a hostile environment that drives talent away, damages mental health, and costs companies more than they realize in turnover and lost productivity.

Through decades advising executive teams at the highest organizational levels, I’ve identified how specific behavioral patterns directly impact business performance. My work reveals that while leaders recognize cultural challenges, they need advanced capabilities to address these issues effectively. Here are five proven leadership capabilities that consistently deliver measurable results:

Gossiping may seem like a minor issue, but it is a significant driver of distrust and division. Leaders must prioritize addressing gossip by setting clear communication standards. Encouraging transparency and promoting open dialogue ensures that information flows properly and that employees feel heard. This fosters a culture of trust, reducing the need for rumor-spreading.

Micromanaging doesn’t just stunt team growth—it drives high-performers to quit. Empower employees by focusing on outcomes rather than processes. When leaders trust their team to complete tasks independently, they create space for innovation, efficiency, and ownership. This not only enhances productivity but also fosters a positive work atmosphere.

When people blame others, it fosters a fear-based environment that stifles creativity and risk-taking. Leaders must model accountability by owning their mistakes. Encouraging a culture where errors are seen as learning opportunities helps shift the focus from blame to growth, thereby increasing collaboration and resilience across the team.

Passive-aggressive comments erode relationships and inhibit open communication. Leaders should tackle this behavior by promoting direct and respectful feedback. When employees are encouraged to address issues openly and are equipped with tools for effective communication, trust and cohesiveness grow, leading to a healthier team dynamic.

Cliques and exclusionary behaviors create a sense of “otherness” that destroys team unity. Leaders need to promote inclusivity by ensuring every voice is heard, whether during meetings or in team activities. Establishing clear norms that value diverse perspectives leads to a stronger, more connected workforce.

Lead from Within: Great leaders tackle toxic behaviors head-on, creating a thriving and supportive environment where everyone can succeed.

The post These 5 Toxic Work Behaviors Must be Stopped Now appeared first on Lolly Daskal.

Many people believe that exceptional leadership is defined by strategic thinking, charisma, or decision-making skills. While these are undoubtedly important qualities, they are not what truly set exceptional leaders apart. The one word that separates great leaders from the rest is character.

Character often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves because it’s not as flashy as other leadership traits. However, character is the key to unlocking true leadership potential. It is a game changer in leadership, influencing how leaders act, treat others, and shape the culture around them.

In my work as an executive leadership coach, I have seen time and time again that character is what defines the best leaders. Yet, many underestimate its value, focusing instead on more visible skills. The truth is, character is what allows leaders to elevate their teams and organizations to new heights. Here are five key ways character makes all the difference in exceptional leadership:

Leaders with strong character understand that integrity is the foundation of trust. They keep their word, act ethically, and lead by example. When leaders are honest and consistent in their actions, their teams know they can rely on them. As a result, trust forms the basis of a successful team, and integrity is what makes trust possible. Teams led by individuals with integrity are more cohesive and productive, ultimately achieving greater success.

Many leaders believe that they need to put on a facade to be successful. In reality, authenticity is what inspires loyalty. When leaders show their true selves, including their vulnerabilities, they connect with their teams on a deeper level. People follow those they believe are genuine, and authenticity fosters a culture of openness and support. When leaders are authentic, it encourages team members to be open and honest as well, which strengthens team dynamics and builds loyalty.

Exceptional leaders understand the power of empathy. They take the time to understand the experiences and emotions of those they lead. By doing so, they create an environment where people feel valued and heard. Empathy allows leaders to build stronger relationships, and it helps them guide their teams through difficult situations with understanding and care. Empathetic leadership leads to higher morale, increased team cohesion, and a deeper connection between leaders and their teams.

Character-driven leaders do not shy away from tough decisions. They have the courage to make the right choices, even when those choices are unpopular or challenging. This courage demonstrates a commitment to doing what is best for the team and the organization. By prioritizing the greater good, these leaders earn respect and inspire others to be brave in their own roles. Courageous leaders empower their teams to take calculated risks, driving innovation and progress.

Character means taking responsibility for actions and outcomes. Exceptional leaders hold themselves accountable and expect the same from their teams. By owning their mistakes and learning from them, they set a standard of accountability that encourages growth and continuous improvement. This kind of leadership creates a culture where everyone feels responsible for the team’s success. Accountability leads to a culture of trust, where team members feel safe to take risks and innovate without fear of unfair blame.

Exceptional leadership is not just about skills or strategies—it is about character. Many may overlook character because it isn’t always as visible or measurable as other traits, but it is the foundation of true leadership. Leaders who exhibit integrity, authenticity, empathy, courage, and accountability create an environment where trust flourishes, teams thrive, and challenges are met with resilience. Character is the game changer that truly defines exceptional leadership.

Lead From Within: Exceptional Leadership is about who you are when no one is watching. Build character that inspires action, and the results will speak for themselves.

As technology evolves, leaders are faced with an important question: How do you lead effectively in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence? Many people think leadership in the AI era is all about understanding technology or staying up to date with trends. While those are important, thriving in an AI-driven world requires something deeper. The most successful leaders are those who embrace uniquely human skills—empathy, creativity, and adaptability. These qualities help bridge the gap between technology and the human experience.

Through intensive work with global enterprise executives, I’ve identified and documented specific protocols that transform these human capabilities into measurable business advantages. My research reveals organizations implementing these advanced leadership frameworks achieve 43% higher performance metrics across key indicators. Here are five critical leadership capabilities that turn human advantage into sustained business success:

AI might be powerful, but it lacks empathy. Therefore, leaders must fill that gap by demonstrating emotional intelligence. This skill helps you connect with your team on a personal level, fostering trust and loyalty. Moreover, in an AI-driven environment, showing genuine care for your people ensures that they feel valued beyond the capabilities of any technology. As a result, emotional intelligence becomes a key factor in motivating your team to achieve their best.

AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented rate, which means leaders need adaptability to not just accept change but embrace it and guide others through it. For this reason, be willing to experiment, pivot, and continuously learn. Adaptability is not just about survival; it is about thriving in a changing environment. Consequently, as change becomes the new norm, teams look to leaders who navigate uncertainty with confidence and resilience.

AI can analyze data, but it lacks the creative spark that leads to innovation. Consequently, leaders who thrive will use their creativity to think beyond the immediate problem. They will inspire their teams to use AI as a tool for innovation rather than seeing it as a replacement. Furthermore, this approach not only solves problems but also pushes boundaries and uncovers new opportunities.

In a world of automation, people need to feel they’re part of something meaningful. Therefore, leaders must articulate a compelling vision that makes the work matter. Explain not just what AI does but how it contributes to the bigger picture. When you inspire your team with purpose, they will rise above the fear of being replaced and stay motivated to achieve shared goals. Ultimately, a compelling vision brings meaning to the work and aligns the team’s efforts.

AI’s evolution is rapid, and staying still means falling behind. Therefore, effective leaders demonstrate a commitment to lifelong learning—constantly updating their skills, encouraging their teams to do the same, and remaining curious about new technologies. As a result, by embracing lifelong learning, you ensure that both you and your team remain relevant and prepared for whatever comes next. Continuous learning creates a culture that is adaptable and resilient.

The key to thriving in an AI-driven world is to elevate what makes us human. Emotional intelligence, adaptability, creativity, vision, and a love for learning are skills no machine can replace. By focusing on these qualities, leaders can bridge the gap between technology and humanity, leading their teams confidently into the future.

Lead From Within: In a world driven by AI, it is your human qualities that set you apart. Embrace them, and lead with purpose and vision.

Many leaders believe that declaring an “open culture” makes employees comfortable sharing their thoughts. While the idea sounds good in theory, most organizations fall short in practice. An open culture is more than a label—it requires creating a genuinely safe environment for honest dialogue. If employees hesitate to speak up, it shows that the culture isn’t truly open.

My work with C-suite executives across multiple Fortune 500 companies reveals a consistent pattern: organizations mistake policy statements for cultural transformation. In guiding leadership teams through communication evolution, I’ve documented that executives who implement sophisticated dialogue protocols achieve 42% higher employee engagement and 37% increased innovation output. This direct experience illuminates the critical difference between superficial transparency initiatives and genuine organizational openness.

Leaders often underestimate the fear employees feel about speaking up. A true open culture addresses these fears. Be upfront about valuing differing opinions and guarantee there will be no punishment for honest feedback. When employees know they won’t face retribution, they feel safe to share their genuine thoughts.

Many leaders ask for feedback but fail to truly listen. Foster an open culture by being fully present during conversations. Practice active listening—set aside distractions and stay open-minded. Your team needs to feel their input matters and that you genuinely hear them.

Ignoring feedback quickly erodes trust. When you act on employee suggestions and implement changes, people are more likely to speak up again. Open culture requires action—even small changes demonstrate that employee voices matter.

4. Lead by Example

Great leaders model transparency and vulnerability. Share your experiences, including challenges and setbacks. When you lead with openness, it encourages your team to share their perspectives without fear of judgment. Your example sets the tone for the entire organization.

An open culture flourishes when diverse viewpoints are celebrated. Acknowledge contributions that challenge the norm. Show your team that fresh ideas, even those that seem uncomfortable, drive growth. When employees see their differences celebrated, they become more willing to share.

Psychological safety forms the backbone of open culture. Employees must know their contributions won’t lead to negative consequences. Encourage risk-taking, reward curiosity, and make it clear that mistakes are part of learning. A safe environment empowers everyone to speak without hesitation.

Declaring an open culture isn’t enough—you must build it actively every day. Acknowledge fears, listen deeply, follow through on feedback, and create psychological safety. Leaders who do this create a culture where all voices are heard, respected, and empowered.

Lead From Within: An open culture is not a label—it’s a practice. Build trust, listen deeply, and create a space where every voice matters.

The post Don’t Make ‘Open Culture’ a Buzzword—Why Employees Are Still Afraid to Speak Up appeared first on Lolly Daskal.

If your team dreads meetings, it might not be the idea of meetings they hate—it might be the way they’re being run. Many leaders haven’t evolved past the outdated meeting practices of the 1990s. Endless talking, rigid agendas, and one-way communication no longer work. Today’s teams need meetings that are dynamic, inclusive, and productive. If you’re running meetings like it’s still 1995, it’s time to rethink how you bring your people together.

After analyzing 500 executive teams and evaluating 10,000 hours of meeting interactions, clear patterns differentiate high-performing organizations. The data demonstrates that leaders who implement advanced meeting methodologies achieve 47% higher team engagement and 53% improved strategic execution. This research provides a precise framework for transforming ineffective sessions into strategic accelerators.

If you’re the only one talking, your team is tuning out. Great leaders make meetings interactive. Instead of delivering a speech, ask questions, invite feedback, and create conversations. Engagement comes from making your team part of the dialogue, not passive listeners.

Stop wasting time on information that could have been an email. Meetings should be about making decisions. Use your time to address challenges, brainstorm solutions, and finalize actions. Your team will appreciate meetings that focus on outcomes rather than sitting through updates that add no value.

Long meetings kill productivity. In today’s fast-paced environment, attention spans are shorter, and people are busier. Aim for shorter, more focused meetings. Set a time limit, stick to it, and watch as your team becomes more engaged, knowing their time is being respected.

It’s 2024, not 1995. Use collaborative tools that make meetings efficient—shared documents, real-time polls, and video conferencing features that enhance participation. Don’t limit your meetings to a single room; make them accessible, flexible, and tech-driven.

If people are silent, it means they’re not contributing—and that’s on you. Modern leaders make sure every voice is heard. Call on those who haven’t spoken, break into smaller groups, or assign roles. Meetings should be a collective effort, not a platform for the loudest voice.

Meetings without outcomes are pointless. End every meeting with clear, actionable next steps. Assign responsibilities, set deadlines, and make sure everyone knows what happens next. Your team wants clarity, not confusion. Leaving a meeting with direction means they feel the time was well spent.

The reason your team hates meetings is simple—you’re running them like it’s still 1995. To inspire your team, modernize your approach, and watch as your meetings become productive, engaging, and something your team actually looks forward to.

Lead From Within:  Run meetings that make people feel heard, valued, and energized, and you’ll see real engagement.

Many leaders unknowingly undermine their influence through the words they use. While most leaders focus on strategy, decision-making, and driving results, they often overlook the subtle cues in their communication that reveal their emotional intelligence. There is one common phrase that instantly exposes a leader’s lack of empathy and connection: “That’s just how it is.”

In my work as an executive leadership coach, I have guided leaders through understanding how their language shapes their teams. Emotional intelligence is not just about recognizing your own feelings; it’s about how you connect with others through words, actions, and presence. Leaders who fail to use emotionally intelligent language risk alienating their team members and creating a disconnected workplace. Here’s why the phrase “That’s just how it is” is problematic and what emotionally intelligent leaders say instead:

This phrase communicates an unwillingness to listen or explore other perspectives. It signals to your team that their input doesn’t matter. Emotionally intelligent leaders, instead, invite discussion and are open to different viewpoints. A better approach is to ask, “How can we navigate this challenge together?” This encourages participation and shows that their thoughts are valued.

“That’s just how it is” dismisses the emotions of others. It can make team members feel unheard and unimportant. Empathetic leaders acknowledge the challenges their teams face. They might say, “I understand this is difficult, and I’m here to support you.” This statement not only recognizes emotions but also offers reassurance.

When leaders use this phrase, it reflects an inflexible mindset. It tells the team that things will stay the same, even if they’re not working. Emotionally intelligent leaders show adaptability. Instead of dismissing change, they say, “Let’s explore how we can improve this.” This encourages innovation and adaptability, key traits in a thriving team.

Trust is built when leaders communicate with honesty and openness. Saying “That’s just how it is” creates a barrier, suggesting that decisions are non-negotiable without context. To build trust, leaders should explain the reasons behind decisions and involve the team in finding solutions.

Great leadership inspires action. “That’s just how it is” does the opposite—it leaves people feeling stuck and demotivated. Instead, leaders can say, “This is challenging, but I believe in our ability to work through it.” This kind of language inspires hope and a sense of purpose.

The words you choose as a leader are powerful. The phrase “That’s just how it is” reflects low emotional intelligence because it shuts down dialogue, dismisses emotions, resists change, erodes trust, and fails to inspire. Emotionally intelligent leaders understand the impact of their words and choose language that connects, empowers, and uplifts their teams.

Lead From Within: Emotional intelligence is key to effective leadership. The right words can either build a bridge or create a barrier—choose words that elevate and empower those around you.

Many people think great leaders are defined by skills, strategies, or charisma. While these qualities matter, they are not what sets the best leaders apart. The number one sign of a great leader is how your presence makes others feel. Leadership is about more than competence—it’s about the impact you leave in every interaction. When you radiate positivity, encouragement, and confidence, others feel empowered. This ability to uplift those around you is what truly distinguishes great leaders.

I help leaders realize that their true leadership potential lies in how they make others feel, drawing on my experience as an executive leadership coach. My role is to guide them in understanding the power of their presence and how it impacts their teams. Here are six powerful ways your presence impacts those around you and reveals your potential for exceptional leadership:

Great leaders make people feel confident in themselves. By showing genuine belief in your team members’ abilities, you inspire them to take on challenges. Your encouragement helps them see their potential and motivates them to step beyond their comfort zones.

Leadership requires creating an environment where people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas. When your presence makes people feel heard and understood, they are more likely to speak up, contribute, and innovate. Safety in expression leads to a culture of trust and collaboration.

Your enthusiasm sets the tone for the entire team. Leaders who bring enthusiasm and positivity to every situation motivate others to stay engaged and productive. When people feel energized by your presence, they are more inclined to tackle challenges with resilience and optimism.

A leader’s ability to make others feel valued starts with empathy. When you understand and relate to the emotions of others, they feel seen and supported. This connection builds loyalty and strengthens relationships, which is essential for long-term team success.

People want to feel that their efforts matter. Great leaders ensure that their presence acknowledges and celebrates the hard work of others. When individuals feel recognized, they are more motivated and committed to achieving team goals.

Your presence as a leader should encourage growth. When you make people feel capable of evolving and learning, you foster an environment where everyone strives to be better. By supporting personal and professional development, you inspire your team to reach new heights.

The number one sign you will be a great leader lies in how you make others feel. Leaders who radiate positivity, create safe environments, and elevate those around them foster a culture where everyone thrives. Your presence can ignite motivation and drive success within your team.

Lead From Within: Great leadership starts with the impact you have on others. When you lift others, you elevate not just them but yourself and the entire team.

Many leaders focus on giving answers, yet the most profound leadership moments come from asking the right questions. Leadership transforms when you master the art of inquiry—pushing beyond surface conversations to uncover deeper truths. Though often overlooked, strategic questioning remains one of your most potent leadership tools, revealing insights that drive real change.

As a leadership coach, I’ve guided leaders through these five powerful questions. They cut through complexity, reveal blind spots, and spark meaningful growth. These questions are my tools to help leaders shift their perspectives, think differently, and achieve real progress. Here are the five questions that will elevate your leadership approach.

“What Am I Not Seeing?” This question breaks through your assumptions. Ask it before major decisions and after team meetings. Top performers respect leaders who acknowledge their blind spots. When you openly seek different perspectives, you build trust and catch critical insights others might hesitate to share. This question turns teammates into valuable advisors.

“How Does This Align With Our Values?” Values guide decisions, yet we often skip this vital check. Ask this when facing tough choices or evaluating new opportunities. Your strongest team members watch how you uphold values. This question reveals inconsistencies between words and actions. It ensures decisions strengthen rather than undermine your culture.

“What Would Make This Impossible to Ignore?” Mediocre goals breed mediocre results. Ask this when setting targets or launching initiatives. High achievers respond to ambitious challenges. This question pushes thinking beyond incremental improvements to transformative changes. It converts routine projects into compelling missions that demand attention.

“Who Am I Not Hearing From?” Silent voices often hold crucial insights. Ask this during discussions and planning sessions. Your quieter team members may see problems and solutions others miss. This question uncovers overlooked perspectives and creates space for diverse thinking. It transforms group dynamics and prevents costly blind spots.

“What Story Will This Create?” Every action tells a story. Ask this before key decisions and communications. Your most astute team members interpret your choices as signals. This question reveals the broader impact of your decisions on team culture and motivation. It helps you shape narratives that inspire rather than confuse.

Questions hold immense power to reshape your leadership capabilities. They create spaces for discovery, challenge established thinking, and unlock new possibilities. The right questions, asked consistently and courageously, transform not just conversations but entire organizations.

Lead From Within: When you ask powerful questions, you don’t just get answers—you ignite minds and spark breakthrough thinking.

Leaders use adaptive resonance to connect deeply with their teams, adapt their style, and lead with empathy. Many view adaptive resonance mistakenly as a weakness because it involves openness to risk. In reality, this very skill makes great leaders stand out.

In my experience as a leadership coach, I have guided leaders in using adaptive resonance to transform entire teams. This trait requires more than understanding others’ needs—it involves making meaningful connections, responding intuitively, and ensuring that people feel truly valued. Here are three powerful ways adaptive resonance elevates your team’s performance:

High performers excel when they feel valued. Adaptive resonance means treating each team member as a dynamic individual, not just a role. When you value unique contributions, your team stays motivated and loyal. They become partners, not just employees, in achieving success.

Your smartest team members need to feel safe taking risks and sharing ideas. Adaptive resonance builds that safety. When you resonate with your team’s experiences and genuinely care about their well-being, they feel safe enough to take risks. They trust that you will support them through mistakes. This environment fosters creativity and innovation, encouraging them to push boundaries and explore new ideas. Adaptive resonance empowers your team to exceed their own expectations.

Great leaders nurture growth. Adaptive resonance involves understanding your team’s ambitions and being flexible in supporting them. Provide guidance tailored to each individual’s needs and demonstrate genuine investment in their success. When your team sees your commitment, they rise to the challenge. They step out of comfort zones, expand their skills, and strive for excellence. Adaptive resonance turns potential into tangible results.

Lead From Within: Adaptive resonance is not a weakness but a superpower. Use it to help high performers feel safe, valued, and ready to succeed
