- Be Coachable: Ten Truths of Being Coachableby Michael McKinney on August 7, 2026 at 5:07 pm
SPORTS analyst Ric Bucher wondered, after rubbing shoulders with some of the greatest athletes, which traits separate the best from the rest? The common denominator was: I was coachable. In Coachable, Bucher explores ten truths of coachability through the stories of all-time great athletes. The truths are applicable to all walks of life. What is coachability? “Synthesizing your vision of who and what you want to be with someone else’s vision of who and what you can be by collaborating to realize that shared vision.” TRUTH 1: Giving In Is Not Giving Up Change is a constant in the short and long term. Sometimes what you set out to do is not what you should be doing. Giving in to a pivot may be just the best thing. It’s not giving up on your dream; it’s growing. “Being coachable is fundamentally about self-improvement. I want to get better, and I’m willing to go backward to go forward.” TRUTH 2: A Fixed Flaw Is a Fountain of Faith Humility to take correction and do something with it. Every problem is there to teach us something—to move us forward. The frustration of having to reconstruct something as fundamental as his shot led Stephen Curry to learn to have faith in the process. He told Bucher, “There’s faith that comes with going through that, working toward that intended outcome of who I want to be. But that whole process, for me, requires having trust in myself to be able to solve whatever…

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. Jeremy Pollack on certainty: “Certainty is the nemesis of peace. Our drive toward certainty, which underlies our subconscious and conscious desires to be right, is antithetical to our capacities for flexibility, open-mindedness, and collaboration with those we perceive as sources of conflict. And the unfortunate news is that our brains are certainty-seeking machines.” Source: Wired for Peace: Using 7 Neuroscience-Based Principles to Resolve Conflicts II. Phil Le-Brun and Jana Werner on organizational slogans: “Your organization’s clarity isn’t found in your mission statement; your employees and stakeholders find it in what they experience. They find clarity in the last difficult decision a leader made and how it made sense given their understanding of the business. They find clarity in the project that got funded (and those that didn’t) and how it matches the mission as everyone understands it. They find clarity in the last person who got promoted because they operate in a way that reflects desired values. These actions are the signals that communicate ‘what matters here.’ If your stated clarity contradicts these lived realities, the slogans are worthless.” Source: The Octopus Organization: A Guide to Thriving in a World of Continuous Transformation * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading Blog.

- Lift People without Demoting Yourselfby Dan Rockwell on August 5, 2026 at 10:31 am

- The Hidden Leadership Trap: When Your Definition of Success Isn’t Really Yoursby Michael McKinney on August 4, 2026 at 2:34 am
AS an executive coach, I’ve noticed something interesting. People almost never hire me because they’re questioning their definition of success. Business owners call because they want to grow their business or prepare for an exit. Executives call because they want to become a better leader, figure out why their team isn’t performing, or be more influential. But coaching never stays in one place, and business is always personal. A good coach will never help anyone build a strategy without digging into the reason for the intended growth. I’ve had leaders sit across from me with thriving companies, respected reputations, and everything they once thought would make them happy, only to finally find the courage to ask me, “Why doesn’t this feel like success?” And admit “I’m not sure I even want this.” It’s rarely because something has gone terribly wrong. In fact, it’s usually the opposite. Their business is growing. Their career is thriving. People admire them. They’re well compensated for their efforts. They’ve achieved goals they once only dreamed about. The problem isn’t that they aren’t successful. The problem is they never stopped to ask whether they were chasing their definition of success—or someone else’s. From an early age, many of us absorb a remarkably consistent message about what success should look like: a bigger title, more responsibility, a larger paycheck, constant growth, a reputation for always being available, and always achieving. What many people don’t realize is that the way leaders define success shapes every decision they…

- First Look: Leadership Books for August 2026by Michael McKinney on August 1, 2026 at 2:42 pm
HERE’S A LOOK at some of the best leadership books to be released in August 2026 curated just for you. Be sure to check out the other great titles being offered this month. Practice Makes Culture: How Welcoming Elephants, Creating Ownership, and Facilitating Daily Practice Transform Organizations by Christine Hudson and Ronica Roth After decades of organizational transformation efforts, the failure rate remains stubbornly high: over 70%. What’s missing? The human element. In Practice Makes Culture, you’ll discover why most transformations still fail and how to ensure yours succeeds by addressing what other approaches miss: the emotional dynamics, hidden narratives, and everyday behaviors that truly shape your organization. This practical guide introduces a powerful framework centered on three critical focus areas: Elephants: Address the emotional aspects of change, recognize diverse perspectives, and tackle difficult conversations that most leaders avoid. Ownership: Create transformation that people actually want by ensuring those affected by change are the ones steering it. Practice: Transform meetings into powerful practice fields for cultural change through consistent, daily reinforcement of desired behaviors. Inviting Genius: How Good Leaders Use Conflict to Become Great by Matthew Abrams Most teams don’t fail because of conflict. They fail because they avoid it. In Inviting Genius: How Good Leaders Use Conflict to Become Great, Matthew Abrams offers a roadmap for leaders who want to build high-performing teams without sacrificing humanity. After 15 years working with visionary leaders, Abrams shows that tension isn’t the problem. It’s the path. As you apply the concepts…

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 Hodges on growth: “Growth is rarely impressive in the moment. Most days it looks ordinary. Quiet. Unnoticed. It’s choosing to learn when it would be easier to coast. Choosing to reflect when reacting feels faster. Choosing to stretch when settling feels comfortable. I’ve had to make those choices more times than I can count. Start where you are. Use what you have. You don’t need to see the whole path or have everything figured out. You just need the humility to stay teachable and the courage to take the next step.” Source: Legacy Letters: Timeless Principles I Learned, Lived, and Leave Behind II. Ron Friedman on feedback: “When feedback is tied to a formal review, the conversation shifts from growth to judgment. That shift triggers anxiety and defensiveness, two emotions that make it almost impossible to learn. Busy managers often assume that no feedback communicates that everything is fine. But employees tend to interpret silence differently. A lack of feedback makes them feel invisible. Feedback is therefore About more than just guidance. It’s a signal that we’re valued, respected, and seen.” Source: Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading Blog.

- You Can Just Do Thingsby Michael McKinney on July 28, 2026 at 1:43 am
PERSONAL agency is the ability to see choices and the belief in your ability to act on them. Agentic people take ownership of their own lives. You Can Just Do Things author Cate Hall believes that personal agency is learnable. And while agency may not matter on an average day, “agency really matters when you’re faced with an opportunity that could change your life completely. A little moment when choosing to deviate from your routine could have outrageous results.” You Can Just Do Things provides valuable insights into growing our agency and living an intentional life. Hall says that most people are selectively agentic. That is, they don’t apply the same can-do approach and resourcefulness equally in all areas of their life. If you divide life into three areas: work, relations of all types, and self-relationship, which includes health, mindset, and spirituality, then you might be high-agency in one but not the others. “The exertion of willpower makes you feel like you’re trying. But the feeling of effort doesn’t mean that you’re Actually Trying.” You may think that you’re really struggling to deal with problems in the other areas of your life. “But struggling is not evidence that you’ve tried everything. To the contrary, the continuous need for willpower may be the sign of a badly engineered life.” I’ve talked with people who don’t think they have a choice. They just take has been handed to them. “The human default is to voluntarily accept constraints, convincing ourselves that they…
- Your Business Has a Pest Problemby Michael McKinney on July 24, 2026 at 2:44 pm
I’VE SPENT 45 years in the pest control industry: 30 in corporate leadership and 15 building my own company, Pied Piper Pest & Lawn, from the ground up. In that time, I’ve seen just about every kind of infestation imaginable. But some of the worst ones never required a spray wand. Early in my management career, I started noticing something strange: the same thought processes I used to assess and control pest infestations worked just as well for diagnosing problems with employees, clients, and suppliers. The behaviors were almost identical. The strategies for dealing with them? Surprisingly similar. Whether you’re managing a cockroach or a coworker who helps themselves to whatever they want, understanding their behavior is the key. Once you know what motivates them, what they’re scared of, and what their kryptonite is, you can manage your environment and make your business a place where good people actually want to stay. Here are four field-tested principles I use to keep both kinds of pests from taking over. 1. Know your pest before you decide how to control it. In pest control, the biggest mistake an amateur makes is the shotgun approach: buy whatever’s on the shelf, apply it everywhere, and hope for the best. It rarely works. That’s because different pests require completely different treatment methods. What eliminates a flea infestation will do nothing for termites. The same logic applies to managing difficult people. In my book Infested, I break workplace pests into four categories: Bloodsuckers (those who…

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. Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig on managing emotions: “Stress, anger, and anxiety can cause narrow-mindedness and the fight-flee-or-freeze syndrome. It’s not at all helpful when you need to engage in critical thinkIng, problem solving, innovative thinking outside the box, or designing experiments to learn. Positive emotions, on the other hand, have been scientifically linked not just to higher health and well-being but also to broader attention, open-mindedness, deeper focus, and more flexible thinking, all of which underlie creativity and innovative thinking.” Source: Humility Is the New Smart: Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age II. Walter Lippmann on getting the questions right: “The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully. Here lay the political genius of Franklin Roosevelt: that in his own time he knew what were the questions that had to be answered, even though he himself did not always find the full answer. It was to this that our people and the world responded, preferring him instinctively to those who did not know what the real questions were.” Source: Roosevelt Is Gone, Today and Tomorrow, April 14, 1945 * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading Blog.

- Apply Lessons from “Moneyball” to Business Recruiting and Find Your Next Tom Bradyby Michael McKinney on July 20, 2026 at 3:45 pm
ORGANIZATIONS often believe they’re selecting the best candidate when in reality they’re selecting the person who best matches familiar credentials, patterns, or assumptions. That distinction matters. As the 2011 movie Moneyball demonstrated through baseball recruiting how success improves dramatically when talent is evaluated against the factors that actually predict performance — not the ones people traditionally favor. The same lesson applies in hiring. If companies want to identify exceptional talent before competitors do, they need a clearer, more disciplined way to define what success in a role truly requires. What Baseball Got Right About Talent Billy Beane of “Moneyball” fame inherited one of the smallest budgets for any MLB team player salaries in 2002. Frustrated with his inability to outbid other teams for talented players, he took a different approach. He called Paul DePodesta, a Harvard alum and professional sports executive interested in data analysis. They combed through decades of data on hundreds of individual players to devise a better strategy for recruiting players. They discovered scouts were overlooking statistics that could better predict a player’s performance versus relying on subjective things like attitude or whom they’d played for in the past. In short, scouts were asking the wrong questions to assess talent. The scouting process failed to include individual components that made up a player’s performance and match that to what the baseball team needed — much like hiring managers looking at academic qualifications or years of experience as a proxy for the responsibilities the individual needs to…
- Same as Ever: What Never Changesby Michael McKinney on July 17, 2026 at 3:01 pm
SOME things never change. When it comes to human behavior, some things stay the same. And those behaviors can make the future more knowable even as so much is changing all around us. Throughout history, circumstances change, but human nature does not. You may not know specifics of the change, but you can know how people will respond. And that can help to explain how we got where we are. In Same as Ever, Morgan Housel presents us with 23 things that never change. He asks, “What would be true in every imaginable version of your life, not just this one? Those universal truths are obviously the most important things to focus on, because they don’t rely on chance, luck, or accident.” Every current event-big or small-has parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, siblings, and cousins. Ignoring that family tree can muddy your understanding of events, giving a false impression of why things happened, how long they might last, and under what circumstances they might occur again. Viewing events in isolation, without an appreciation of their long roots, helps explain everything from why forecasting is hard to why politics is nasty. Let’s look at six of the twenty-three timeless truths Housel presents. Risk is What You Don’t See Risk is what you are not prepared for. “As financial advisor Carl Richards says, ‘Risk is what’s left over after you think you’ve thought of everything.’” It’s what you don’t see coming. If you knew what was coming, you would be prepared for it….
- Leading Thoughts for July 16, 2026by Michael McKinney on July 16, 2026 at 5:08 pm
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 Ries on the incoherent organization: “An incoherent organization is one where what gets rewarded contradicts what gets proclaimed. Where the values on the wall are betrayed by daily reality. Some such companies claim they value innovation but ostracize those whose experiments fail. Others promise work-life balance while ensuring only workaholics are invited to strategy meetings. Still others swear they put customers first but praise employees who engage in deceptive sales practices. Departments clash due to opposing cultures-product aspires to be Apple, but finance aspires to be Goldman Sachs. The result is a company at war with itself. And like a human body suffering from an autoimmune disease, it becomes increasingly weak and vulnerable.” Source: Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad… and How Great Companies Stay Great II. Walter Lippmann on the forgotten foundation of democracy: “What separates us from the totalitarian regimes is our belief that man does not belong to the state. This is true. But if we are to be clear about what that really means, we must say also what it is that man does belong to. There are, perhaps, many different ways of saying it. But there is no better way of saying it than to say it as the authors of our liberties were accustomed to say it. They said that man belonged to his Creator, and that…
- Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisionsby Michael McKinney on July 13, 2026 at 5:27 pm
WE can be too close, too present in a situation, to look at it constructively. Good decision-making occurs when we can step back and look at the situation from a broader, more objective perspective. We respond differently when we see differently. Authors L. David Marquet and Michael Gillespie warn us in Distancing, “When excited, stressed, or threatened, we are pushed further into a state of self-immersion, a closed-in feeling of me-here-and-now, which narrows, filters, and distorts what we see, reinforcing our previously held beliefs.” There are three ways we can step back and get some distance: We can be someone else We can be somewhere else We can be sometime else Be Someone Else Being someone else is about learning to become your own coach. If you can see yourself as a coach might see you, you can uncover answers that you already have inside. It is distanced self-talk. This distanced self-talk “helps red helps reduce stress because it removes some of the emotional baggage that tends to cloud thinking, decreasing performance.” A coach helps you to see your future self. Who do you want to be? How do you want to talk about this episode of your life? When we imagine ourselves as someone else, we access the strengths of that alter ego and break out of any self-consciousness and attachments to our prior decisions. Be Somewhere Else Often referred to as going to the balcony, be somewhere else takes you out of the moment. Be a fly…
- The Way of Excellenceby Michael McKinney on July 10, 2026 at 4:01 pm
EXCELLENCE is not a destination. It is the way we move in the world. It’s the direction we grow towards. In The Way of Excellence, author Brad Stulberg defines excellence as “An ongoing process of growth and becoming that imbues life with meaning and vigor. It emerges from involved engagement in something worthwhile that supports your values and goals. Excellence combines mastery and mattering. It is not something that is out of reach, but rather it is your birthright, a core part of your nature.” Stulberg also notes that excellence is not perfectionism or obsession. It is becoming a better version of yourself—seeing the future. “When it comes to the pursuit of excellence, we are often faced with the comfort, pleasure, or ease of short-term decisions that contradict our values and long-term goals.” Denying our present to secure a better future. We have to be able to distinguish between what is significant and what is not. To be excellent, you have to care about what you do. “If you want to have a rich and meaningful life, then you have to expose yourself. You have to make yourself vulnerable.” Goals add to the richness of life not for their achievement but because of what you become in the pursuit of the goal. You remember most not getting to the peak but what happened on the climb. Excellence comes from consistency. “Staying consistent often requires demonstrating a bit of restraint today so that you can pick up where you left…

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. Mark Pincus on doing something great: “Being truly ambitious and committed to winning means: 1. Maintaining ruthless objectivity about your ideas. 2. Being willing to kill them often. 3. Losing any emotional attachment to specific implementations. 4. Testing multiple variants quickly rather than going all in on one. “When you’re trying to build products, good is worse than bad. B+ ideas are good enough to get funding, get customers, attract talent, and keep hope alive. But they’re never good enough to be great. You can avoid good and get to great by asking questions: Would your smartest friends invest their own money? Are you pursuing this idea out of desperation?” Source: Life at the Speed of Play: Launch Products People Love! II. Anne-Laure Le Cunff on experimentation: “No matter how good your tool or deliberative your thought process, one thing never changes: There is no right choice. If you’re used to zero-sum thinking, that point of view may frustrate you. But it’s almost impossible to fail when you see everything as an experiment. In a life of experimentation, there is no wrong choice, either. A pact isn’t a destination. It’s a path you walk to discover more about yourself and the world. Success and failure are fluid constructs, not fixed labels. If you simply keep going as is, it means you found an ideal…
