- What Leaders Get Wrong About Self-Acceptanceby Dan Rockwell on June 22, 2026 at 10:31 am
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Carl Rogers Self-acceptance is the starting point of change. Controlling leaders loosen their grip when they accept themselves. Accepting yourself isn’t complacency. Acceptance precedes transformation. Gain insights about self-acceptance in leadership.
- Designing Joyful Workplacesby Michael McKinney on June 20, 2026 at 12:30 am
IN today’s landscape, complete with change, disruption, ambiguity and uncertainty, it’s more important than ever that leaders are effective, not just efficient. Talent management must shift from being reactive to being strategic, intentional and aligned to outcomes. How do we move from “putting out fires” and reading smoke signals to building the “house”, or environment, to better account for potential business impacts? The answer is simple. Business strategies must also become talent strategies. Too often, organizations develop business goals and outcomes first, then call talent leaders in later to operationalize them. The deeper opportunity includes inviting talent leaders into the room during the design phase. This enables organizations to become proactive versus reactive. Across industries, leaders are balancing higher expectations with fewer resources. Employees are navigating uncertainty, financial stress and constant change. The challenge is not simply improving productivity. The challenge is designing workplaces where people feel seen, valued and connected to both their purpose and the organization’s goals. In my book, Joyful Workplaces, I introduce what I call the Joyful Workplace Design, a practical approach for building workplaces where people feel seen, valued, connected to their purpose and aligned to organizational goals. A joyful workplace is “the natural outcome of an effective, high-performing environment.” Some leaders may believe that hosting social activities, happy hours, get-togethers and fun offsites build community, show people they are valued and create connection. And, at the surface level, this is true. These moments can create shared experiences and bring people together. I also…
- Executive Blind Spots: The Hidden Risk Undermining High-Performing Leadersby Michael McKinney on June 20, 2026 at 12:28 am
RESEARCH shows that nearly 95% of employees do not fully understand their organization’s strategy, and even more concerning, many leaders overestimate how clearly they are communicating it. This disconnect is not just an operational issue—it is a leadership risk, often driven by blind spots at the executive level. High-performing leaders are often celebrated for their decisiveness, resilience, and ability to deliver results under pressure. They rise quickly, earn trust, and are entrusted with increasingly complex responsibilities. Yet the very traits that fuel their success can also obscure a critical vulnerability: blind spots. Executive blind spots are not simply weaknesses or skill gaps. They are the unseen patterns, biases, and behaviors that leaders cannot readily identify in themselves, but that others experience regularly. Left unaddressed, these blind spots quietly erode trust, distort decision-making, and create misalignment across teams and organizations. In many cases, organizations do not fail because of a lack of intelligence or capability at the top. They fail because leaders are unaware of how their behaviors are impacting the people responsible for executing their strategy. The Paradox of High Performance The higher leaders rise, the less likely they are to receive unfiltered feedback. Success creates distance. Titles create insulation. And over time, leaders can become surrounded by individuals who are reluctant to challenge their thinking or question their decisions. This dynamic creates a dangerous paradox: the more successful a leader becomes, the less visibility they often have into their own limitations. High-performing executives are particularly susceptible to this…
- Show Up Stupidby Dan Rockwell on June 19, 2026 at 10:31 am
Confusion becomes opportunity when you show up stupid. Pretending you know is self-sabotage. The more smoke you blow, the less credible you become. You’re stagnant when you run from confusion. Learn how to show up stupid in a leaderly way.

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. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on success: “‘People with very high expectations have very low resilience. Unfortunately, resilience matters in success,’ he later said. ‘Greatness is not intelligence. Greatness comes from character.’ And character, in his view, can only be the result of overcoming setbacks and adversity. To Jensen, the struggle to persevere in the face of bad, and often over-whelming, odds is simply what work is. It is why, whenever someone asks him for advice on how to achieve success, his answer has been consistent over the years: ‘I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering.’” Source: The Nvidia Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant by Tae Kim II. Brad Stulberg on rugged flexibility: “The goal is not to be stable and therefore never change. Nor is the goal to sacrifice all sense of stability, passively surrendering yourself to the whims of life. Rather, the goal is to marry these qualities to cultivate what I call rugged flexibility. To be rugged is to be tough, determined, and durable. To be flexible is to consciously respond to altered circumstances or conditions, to adapt and bend easily without breaking. Put those together and the result is a gritty endurance, an anti-fragility that not only withstands change, but thrives in its midst.” Source: Master of Change: How to Excel When Everything…

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. Sebastian Wernicke on automating insight: “Machine learning is not equally suitable for all tasks. It performs best when applied to frequent, repetitive decisions or tasks of manageable complexity. At the same time, the limits of machine learning when it comes to tacit understanding ensure that humans will be anything but redundant for the foreseeable future. For any situation requiring careful, nuanced consideration, developing and deploying a useful algorithm often costs more time and effort than it saves. And even when an algorithm eventually performs an operational activity, humans must still plan and manage it, requiring organizations to cultivate the necessary skills to guide the models and set appropriate guardrails.” Source: Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation II. Mike Grossman on scope creep: “No matter how excited and optimistic you are about the business, putting all your eggs in one basket is unsettling. As a result, it’s very tempting to look for ways to diversify. The result is scope creep. It’s also easy to be fooled into thinking that opportunities adjacent to your primary area of focus are natural extensions of your strategy. But that usually isn’t the case. It may seem counterintuitive, but less really is more. If you want to build a great business, it’s crucial to resist the temptation to spread yourself and the company too thin….
- Your Company Doesn’t Just Need a Defensible Strategy – It Needs One that Can Adaptby Michael McKinney on June 9, 2026 at 5:36 pm
IT’S a well-worn saying that the only constant in life is change, and that’s doubly true of the business world. If you’re successful, you need to constantly check your rearview mirror because there are always competitors right behind you. Earlier in my career, I became CEO of a company, Equity Marketing (which became EMAK Worldwide). My thinking at the time was: “Okay, you’re the boss, so you need to come up with all the important strategic and visionary ideas because that’s what your job is and that’s what you’re expected to do.” But I ultimately concluded that’s actually not the job. The job as CEO is to make sure the company has a unique, compelling, and defensible advantage — whether you develop that strategy by yourself, or you curate it from your team. Defensible in this context means that a competitor can’t easily remove you from your perch in the marketplace because you have a unique process, or unique technology, or unique talent with a unique culture, or unique client relationships. Whatever it is, you own something that makes it hard for a competitor to dislodge you from your position. The ultimate hallmark of a defensible strategy is that it’s adaptable to the inevitability of change. So, if nepotism is your strategy and you got into Yale or Harvard despite your mediocre high school GPA because you’re a legacy, that’s not going to be sustainable when you get out into the world and your circumstances change. When you graduate…
- Are You A “Good” Leader? That Might Be the Problemby Michael McKinney on June 5, 2026 at 6:51 pm
WHEN I speak to a room of leaders, I like to start with a quick show of hands. How many would say they’re a bad leader? No hands. Good. How many think they’re exceptional, one of the best to ever do it? A few brave souls, usually with a laugh. And how many would put themselves somewhere in the middle, pretty good to very good? That’s where most hands go up. And honestly, that’s where mine goes up too. When Good Stops Being Enough Here’s the catch. That “pretty good” is exactly where the trouble usually starts right now. For most of our careers, good was plenty. Show up prepared, communicate clearly enough, hit your numbers, and treat people fairly. Success. In a stable world that adds up to a solid leader and a steady team. But we’re not leading in a stable world anymore. Economic whiplash, AI anxiety, restructuring, burnout, or the news alert that makes a 23-year-old wonder if their job will exist in two years. Uncertainty is the operating environment now. And uncertainty changes the math. My team and The Harris Poll surveyed more than 2,000 employees about their leaders, and the finding that stuck with me is now on a sticky note on my desk: uncertainty multiplied by good leadership doesn’t produce good outcomes. It produces a slow rise in anxiety, a creeping complacency and a quiet drift. Not a collapse. Nobody calls a meeting about it. It’s the erosion you don’t notice until trust…

- First Look: Leadership Books for June 2026by Michael McKinney on June 1, 2026 at 7:56 pm
HERE’S A LOOK at some of the best leadership books to be released in June 2026 curated just for you. Be sure to check out the other great titles being offered this month. Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation by Sebastian Wernicke Ninety-nine percent of businesses surveyed say that data and AI are a top priority―but two-thirds admit to feeling stuck. What most leaders miss is that to succeed at becoming a data-driven business requires developing a nuanced understanding of why data holds such transformative power, what a data-inspired culture looks like, and how to get there. Data Inspired shows that the secret isn’t to be more data-driven―it is to become data-inspired. This book reveals the crucial strategic distinction between using data to optimize existing operations and using them as a catalyst for deep transformation and innovation. Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams by Ron Friedman What do the best teams do differently? To find out, award-winning social psychologist Ron Friedman surveyed thousands of teams and pinpointed the precise habits that separate the best from the rest. The results upend everything we think we know about teamwork. It turns out that the most successful teams aren’t the ones that collaborate most, get along best, or put in the longest hours. What really sets them apart is the way they manage their energy and attention, bring out the best in one another, and keep improving over time. Blending eye-opening discoveries with unforgettable stories,…

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. Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz on what is required to learn: “Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.” Source: Words to the Wise: A Medical-Philosophical Dictionary II. Simone Stolzoff on not knowing: “When we experience uncertainty, it activates two parts of our brain simultaneously: the amygdala, which is responsible for alerting the brain to potential threats, and the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for analytical and deliberate thinking. The amygdala signals the body to release stress hormones, while the prefrontal cortex analyzes the situation to plan for a logical response. If the situation is particularly high stakes (for example, a looming layoff at work) or if you have a particularly low tolerance for uncertainty, it’s easy for the amygdala to hijack your brain’s response, prompting you to enter a fight, flight, or freeze mindset-whether or not there is actually a threat to your survival. Dr. Anne-Laure Le Cunff, a neuroscientist who helps leaders navigate uncertainty, says, ‘Uncertainty tolerance allows us to explore different options, rather than rushing to whatever is most reassuring.’” Source: How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World that Demands Answers * *…
- Why Intelligent Leaders Still Make Bad Decisionsby Michael McKinney on May 22, 2026 at 5:56 pm
AT first glance, leadership mistakes are difficult to explain. Many failed decisions are made by highly intelligent, experienced, and capable people. The leaders involved often possess strong analytical skills, deep industry knowledge, and years of practical experience. They are not careless. They are not uninformed. And yet, serious mistakes still happen: A company commits to the wrong strategy despite clear warning signs. A leadership team continues investing in a failing initiative long after the evidence turns negative. An executive becomes increasingly confident precisely when caution is most needed. From the outside, these failures often appear irrational. But internally, they rarely feel that way. That is what makes them dangerous. Most flawed leadership decisions do not feel obviously wrong when they are made. They feel reasonable. Logical. Sometimes even unavoidable. The problem is rarely intelligence itself. The problem is the thinking structure behind the decision. In strategic environments, strong decision-makers eventually learn an uncomfortable truth: expertise does not eliminate cognitive distortions. In some cases, it amplifies them. Experience improves pattern recognition, speed, and confidence. But it can also create hidden rigidity. The more successful people become within a particular model of reality, the less likely they are to question the assumptions behind that model. This creates a subtle trap. Leaders become highly effective at solving problems inside the framework they already understand, while becoming less willing to question whether the framework itself still fits reality. Intelligent people are often exceptionally good at defending conclusions that feel internally consistent. Once the…

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. Brad Stulberg on goals: “Goals are like mountaintops. They are important insofar as they provide definition and direction for our journeys. They serve as targets, offering a wellspring of motivation. They keep us focused and prevent us from aimlessly wandering. Yet nearly all of our growth, development, and meaning occur not at the point of accomplishing a goal but during its pursuit. There is no greater illusion than thinking the accomplishment of some goal will change your life. What will change your life is how you are transformed in the process of going for it. When you select what goals to pursue, you are selecting what kind of person you want to become.” Source: The Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World II. Anne Lamott on forging ahead: “There are parts of your life you keep placing just out of reach because they feel inconvenient, unclear, or not quite ready yet. So you wait for the right stretch of time, the right version of yourself, or the right set of circumstances that will finally make it all make sense. But life doesn’t rearrange itself for clarity. It responds to movement. The thing you keep circling might not need more thinking. It might need a first step. What you are waiting for may be created by the…
- Workplace Design Is a Big Contributor to Worker Wellbeingby Michael McKinney on May 15, 2026 at 6:38 pm
THE causes of job strain, burnout, and poor mental health at work are well understood — and so are the solutions. Workload can be managed. Jobs can be designed with autonomy and voice. Leaders can be trained to create psychological safety. Systems can be built that reward recovery and fairness, not just output. Which means harm to our workers isn’t inevitable — it’s a design choice. Organizations that fail to design for good work will pay for it in absenteeism, turnover and disengagement. But the deeper cost is borne by the workers. People don’t thrive when they’re confused, unsupported, or underused. They thrive when they feel capable and valued. Research by organizational psychologist Arnold Bakker shows that when employees have structural resources (such as autonomy), social resources (such as support), and challenging demands (such as growth tasks), they experience more flow and less burnout. If organizations are serious about sustainable performance, they need to design for it. That means pacing workloads instead of treating every week like quarter-end. Well-designed work provides energy. Poorly designed work sucks it out. Designing roles that are sustainable, setting realistic expectations, and creating cultures where people feel safe and valued are central to worker’s mental health and sustainable high performance. They also fuel innovation and pay dividends in productivity. The pathway for enabling a fully functioning and committed workforce is through designing the way that people work. Every role has an architecture — the tasks, responsibilities, and demands that make up a day. Too…

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. Nicole Vignola on learning as default thinking: “The first major underpinning of a growth mindset is that people with this mindset understand that learning is a valuable opportunity in the face of adversity. When people believe that they can improve and grow from failure and setbacks, they are more likely to engage in challenging tasks and persist through difficulty. When people know and understand that the brain is malleable and are willing to adapt to circumstance, they are more likely to persist in the face of obstacles. This perseverance can enhance pathways in the brain that are associated with learning, which strengthens the notion that learning is a dynamic process that’s forever evolving.” Source: Rewire: Break the Cycle, Alter Your Thoughts and Create Lasting Change (Your Neurotoolkit for Everyday Life) II. Morgan Housel on happiness: “Your happiness depends on your expectations more than anything else. So in a world that tends to get better for most people most of the time, an important life skill is getting the goalpost to stop moving. It’s also one of the hardest. A common storyline of history goes like this: Things get better, wealth increases, technology brings new efficiencies, and medicine saves lives. The quality of life goes up. But people’s expectations then rise by just as much, if not more, because those improvements also benefit other people…
- Have You Outgrown Your Own Company?by Michael McKinney on May 11, 2026 at 6:54 pm
MOST leaders reach a point where they can see exactly where their company needs to go. The vision is clear — more sophisticated, more scalable, more aligned with the leader they’ve become. They didn’t get to this point by accident. The clarity they have now is the product of a commitment to transformation expressed through years of building, learning, and evolving. But the company is still organized around an earlier version of their leadership. The revenue is real. The clients are happy. On paper, it works. But the routines, the roles, the decision-making patterns were designed for a different stage. Maybe a different strategy entirely. As the founder, every day pulls you back into the same patterns: the firefighting, the decisions only you can make, the sense that if you stop moving, everything stops. This is the tension between where you’re going and what got you here, and it’s one of the most common inflection points in a founder’s journey. At this stage, part of your responsibility as a leader is to transform the company along with you. New Goals Demand New Thinking A founder I worked with ran a specialized professional services firm. Over a few years, he had made an important leap from transactional operator to strategic advisor. He built a new framework, renamed his practice, and reimagined his value proposition to create a market segment he could own — higher-trust, higher-fee, more durable client relationships. He knew where he was going. But the company was still…
