- Avoid These 3 Goal Setting Trapsby Dan Rockwell on April 15, 2025 at 10:31 am
Goal setting drives progress—but it can also drive burnout, blind spots, and bad decisions. Before you chase the summit, ask: Are your goals worth the cost? Discover 3 goal setting traps leaders make—and how to avoid them with clarity, integrity, and sustainable motivation. Don’t die on the mountain.
- Challenges Facing Women Negotiatorsby Michael McKinney on April 14, 2025 at 7:52 pm
HISTORICALLY, women have faced significant hurdles in employment negotiations. Here’s what we know about these barriers, plus strategies leaders can use to improve fairness in the workplace. The Barriers that Women Face In 2006, Carnegie Mellon University professor Linda Babcock and her colleagues published research showing that women tend to initiate negotiations, particularly salary negotiations, significantly less often than men do. The findings appeared to at least partially explain the enduring pay gap between men and women, which has remained frustratingly stable from 2002 to 2023. In a 2007 study, Harvard Kennedy School professor Hannah Riley Bowles, Babcock, and California State University professor Lei Lai found that evaluators penalized female job candidates who asked for higher pay, but not male candidates. Evaluators viewed women who asked for greater compensation less favorably than men who did so and were less interested in working with the women the future. Women appeared to face a catch-22: If they asked for more, they risked being viewed negatively. About 20 years have passed since research on gender differences in negotiation and tailored salary negotiation tips for women began to emerge. Have things changed? Yes and no. On the one hand, evidence suggests that many women are negotiating compensation more assertively. Unfortunately, however, these efforts have failed to move the needle on the gender pay gap. Women Do Ask In a 2024 study, researchers Laura Kray (University of California, Berkeley), Jessica Kennedy (Vanderbilt Business School), and Margaret Lee (UC Berkeley) surveyed 990 graduates of a…
- Stop Copying Successful People – Do This Insteadby Dan Rockwell on April 14, 2025 at 10:31 am
Just because successful people reach the peak it doesn’t mean they know the best way up. Successful people blind us with want. We assume success means wisdom. We think money equals insight. We believe fame proves virtue. Lies one and all. Fools become influencers because we believe success equals universal competence.
- Transition Points Are Fertile Ground for Reinventionby Michael McKinney on April 11, 2025 at 5:01 pm
I didn’t start out as a founder. I started out as an arms dealer. Not in the literal sense — but in the early days of Silicon Valley, I was on the front lines of sales, business development, and corporate development. I knew how to close deals, spot trends, and move fast. I was valuable but always on the periphery of the real action. I was building. I watched teams turn ideas into companies and products into platforms. After a while, it became clear — I was contributing but not creating. So I made a move. I joined Ooma as a founding executive. We set out to reinvent home phone service and take on the telcos. It was bold and ambitious and taught me what zero to one really looks like. From there, I co-founded Jangl, a privacy-forward voice platform that lets people connect without giving out their real number. We raised money, built the team, and got real traction. Then, the market shifted, and we hit the wall. That kind of moment can knock you down — or wake you up. What I’ve learned across every chapter since is this: transition points represent some of the most valuable terrain upon which you’re ever likely to stand. They’re confusing, uncertain, and usually uncomfortable. But they’re also where reinvention happens — if you let it. Too many people try to erase what came before when they make a change. I’ve done the opposite. I’ve treated every shift in my career…
- Escape Toxic Self-Acceptanceby Dan Rockwell on April 11, 2025 at 10:31 am
Toxic self-acceptance corrodes life. Don’t be so pleased with yourself that it justifies mediocrity. We approve of ourselves and disapprove of others. Lopsided approval makes us thrash through life like a flat tire. Addiction to self-love becomes self-deception. Others aren’t your biggest challenge. Self-leadership is harder than leading others.

- Leading Thoughts for April 10, 2025by Michael McKinney on April 11, 2025 at 12:25 am
IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Eric Potterat on putting in the practice you need for success: “Effort is perhaps both the easiest and hardest aspect of mindset to practice. Easy because you know what needs to be done: more practicing, more studying, more exercising, more time. Hard because: more work. For some people (and many high performers) hard work is innate. They keep at it naturally; they don’t have to make themselves do it. But most of us are what I like to call “human”: we have a limit. When we reach that fork in our day when we could spend an hour practicing that thing we care about or rot our brain watching viral videos or reality shows, too often we opt for the videos. We’ll practice tomorrow. We suffer from (or benefit from, depending on whether you are sitting comfortably on your couch or not) an intention-behavior gap. We intend to do something, but we don’t do it.” Source: Learned Excellence: Mental Disciplines for Leading and Winning from the World’s Top Performers II. Michael Pilarczyk on knowing what matters to you: “There’s a reason behind every choice you make. There are reasons you decide to do or not do something, and those reasons chart your course. In other words, the meaning you assign to your thoughts determines your personality, your behavior, how you feel, how you react,…
- Avoid the Transparency Trapby Dan Rockwell on April 10, 2025 at 10:31 am
The purpose of transparency is to be seen for who you are. It’s awkward when your inner critic berates you. It’s difficult for those seduced by power and authority. It’s impossible when leaders lack self-awareness. Transparency is noble in concept but tricky in practice. Learn more…
- Triggers: When Someone Pushes Your Buttonsby Dan Rockwell on April 9, 2025 at 10:31 am
A baby’s giggle, an insult, and being trusted with new responsibilities all have one thing in common. They’re triggers. Frustration triggers me to talk louder. I choose to do the opposite. I ask questions and soften my tone. That’s my goal, at least. Turn triggers into advantage.
- 7 Simple Ways to Make Team Meetings Workby Dan Rockwell on April 8, 2025 at 10:31 am
Bright meetings point to energized people. Lousy meetings point to poor leadership. When everyone groans before team meetings, it’s time to: #1. Restructure the way you run meetings. #2. Refocus on purpose and mission. Why meet in the first place? #3. Remove deadwood. Teams rise when you jettison weight. #4. Retire the team. More…
- What The Senate Hearings on the Signal Chat Security Breach Reveal About the Dysfunctional Disconnect Between Internal/External Conversationsby Michael McKinney on April 7, 2025 at 7:18 pm
OUR internal conversations may seem inconsequential, but they determine the success of every interaction. They hold secrets to how we can have authentic conversations with others. When CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently testified before the Senate regarding the breach of security using Signal’s group chat during an attack on Yemen, their carefully measured responses revealed something profound. As they faced direct questions about the Signal chat, including an accidental text that included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, viewers witnessed a rare moment when the divide between Ratcliffe and Gabbard’s private thoughts and public speech became apparent. Their shifting gazes and carefully chosen words highlighted a universal human struggle: the gap between what we think and what we say. This chasm creates the tension we carry, the anxiety that keeps us awake, and the misunderstandings that damage our relationships. We all have private conversations with ourselves that no one else hears — the running commentary in our minds, interpreting events, assigning meaning, and shaping our responses to the world. The stories we tell ourselves profoundly shape how we interact with the world, yet we seldom examine these narratives with the scrutiny they deserve. Instead of creating stress by tamping them down, our hidden conversations can be an untapped reservoir of wisdom. Our unprocessed inner dialogues hold insights that could transform superficial exchanges into authentic connections. Our brains as story-making machines Human beings are natural storytellers. Our brains weave narratives to make sense…
- Why Buy-In Is the Most Overlooked Factor in Business Growthby Michael McKinney on April 4, 2025 at 6:59 pm
MOST business leaders assume that if they roll out the right strategy, success will follow. But the truth is, even the best strategy will fail without full buy-in from your team. Lack of buy-in is the silent killer of growth. It’s why so many marketing initiatives fall flat, why sales teams resist new processes, and why companies struggle to implement real change. If your employees aren’t aligned, your customers will feel it. And if your customers feel it, they won’t trust you. The Real Reason Strategies Fail The biggest mistake CEOs make is assuming that once they decide on a direction, their team will automatically follow. But people don’t resist change because they’re lazy or unwilling—they resist it because they don’t understand why it matters to them. If your leadership team makes decisions behind closed doors and then announces them as mandates, don’t be surprised when your employees push back—or worse, disengage entirely. The companies that thrive aren’t the ones with the best ideas; they’re the ones that get their teams to believe in those ideas. How to Get Your Team Fully Invested To build a company that executes at the highest level, buy-in can’t be an afterthought—it has to be built into your culture. Here’s how: Involve Your Team Early – People support what they help create. Instead of rolling out a fully baked strategy, bring your team into the conversation from the start. When employees feel heard, they’re far more likely to take ownership of the outcome….

Bob Rosen on uncertainty: “Uncertainty can become our undoing if we are not open to what’s around the corner, whether new ideas and experiences or the latest resentments or disappointments. During a state of uncertainty, we must learn to be comfortable with being vulnerable. Although the idea may seem counterintuitive, vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable says you are willing to take risks, be an imperfect person, and accept reality, whatever it may be.” Source: Detach: Ditch Your Baggage to Live a More Fulfilling Life II.

- Red Flags at Work: Recognizing Problems and Delivering the Bad Newsby Michael McKinney on March 21, 2025 at 3:21 pm
IN MY early managerial days, I would often ask my bosses and peers how they learned the skill of delivering bad news. Almost always, their answer was: “You will learn it over time,” “There is no compression algorithm for experience,” or some variation of needing to put in the time. Granted, experience is one of the best teachers, but I have discovered there are tactics that can be learned so you don’t have to navigate without help. Spotting Problems at Work Detection is about how to spot problematic situations that might require you to intervene and deliver bad news. This might include an employee who is not pulling their weight, runaway projects, and so on. As a manager, you are responsible for making sure you are getting the most out of your team and for delivering a positive return on investment for your company. You are, by default, supporting all the decisions your team is making, and if you keep backing bad decisions, you will be the one held responsible. So, how do you decide when it’s time to take notice? Employees and their personal work-related issues are the bane of every manager’s existence. There are two broad categories of people-related issues in which a manager needs to intervene: individual performance issues and personnel conflicts. They can cause a lot of damage if left unchecked. I suggest you create tenets that employees can use to resolve conflicts on their own versus solving it for them. Project management, encompassing issues…

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Writer and theologian C.S. Lewis on what why small choices matter: “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.” Source: Mere Christianity II. George Mallory, a British mountaineer on the joy of climbing: “People ask me, ‘What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?’ and my answer must at once be, ‘It is of no use.’ There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behavior of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation.

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Chris Deaver and Ian Clawson on leading together: “The dark truth of success is that if we make it all about ourselves, our own egos, our individual performance, it eventually breaks down. It won’t have staying power. Most of us have experienced the reality of bosses or corporate cultures that go it alone, pushing agendas on us rather than building with us. Startups know this feeling. People running full speed toward their dreams know this feeling. But it’s fleeting. It doesn’t last if it’s not built with others, co-created.” Source: Brave Together: Lead by Design, Spark Creativity, and Shape the Future with the Power of Co-Creation II. Joel Kurtzman on leadership: “The leader is not separate from the group he or she leads. Rather, the leader is the organization’s glue—the force that binds it together, sets its direction, and makes certain that the group functions as one. Good leaders are not outsiders who cheer on a group. They are part of that group, integrated deeply into its fabric and emotional life. Connecting with the group you lead means demonstrating you are part of the group, understand its challenges, can do its jobs, and can stand the pressure and the heat.” Source: Common Purpose: How Great Leaders Get Organizations to Achieve the Extraordinary * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading…

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Andrew Kakabadse, Nada Kakabadse, and Linda Davies on leading to learn: “It is clear that successful leadership is never truly mastered as it is an organic service which must be ever refreshed and refined. The changing nature and demands of the follower and the changing nature and demands of the external environment mean that even once the leader has reached a point of maximum provision for their troops in their current state, they must put some serious planning into the next likely situation they will face. There is no rest. Learning to lead never stops and the truly successful, the truly great leader knows that they are leading to learn.” Source: Leading for Success: The Seven Sides to Great Leaders II. Greg Satell on identifying a keystone change: “To create real change, change that sticks and won’t be soon reversed, you need to identify a fundamental issue that encapsulates the value of the mission—a keystone change that is concrete and tangible, unites the efforts of multiple stakeholders, and paves the way for greater change. Revolutions don’t begin with a slogan—they begin with a cause. “It is never enough to merely state grievances to challenge the status quo. To create meaningful change, you must put forward an affirmative vision for what you want the future to look like. You have to define an alternative that…
- Collaborative Design Thinking in Action: How to Achieve Breakthrough Outcomesby Michael McKinney on March 5, 2025 at 5:56 pm
A team approach to problem-solving, informed by the process of design thinking, can be optimally effective in triggering inspiration, leading to fresh ideas that are highly responsive to stakeholders. Indeed, collaboration can be a force multiplier in an effort to reach an intended objective. However, what seems to be missing is how team members can perform successfully and work as a collaborative entity for the good of the project. Collaborative design thinking suggests a customized framework for team members and stakeholders to work together so that the process is unique and relevant for a particular challenge and the individuals involved. A project leader can adjust the design thinking approach to the required matrix of specialties, personalities, tasks, and circumstances — and determine how and when collaboration occurs — to yield the best possible outcome. The following three summary examples include distinctive challenges. The process for arriving at an optimal solution, however, applies to many types of problems in many types of organizations. In each of these instances, the team was able to use an aspect of collaborative design thinking to ask the questions that needed to be asked and achieve breakthrough outcomes. Example 1: Empathy as a Means to Innovate in a Pharmaceutical Company Empathy — a key component of design thinking — helped this team develop a fresh mindset and a full appreciation for special needs, leading to a new way of thinking and, ultimately, to an innovative product. Developing meaningful empathy for stakeholders is a remarkable tool…

Botanists will tell you to have a vision for how you want a plant to look before you start pruning it. The same is true for your life and your business.
