One of the most common challenges I hear from organizational leaders is helping new leaders understand the fundamentals of what it takes to be a great people leader. Far too often, leaders are promoted because of their technical skills, yet they lack the leadership know-how to guide, inspire, and develop their teams effectively. That's why I’m excited to share Joyntly's latest post, Leadership Fundamentals: The 10 Essential Competencies for Success. Whether you’re a new leader or a seasoned professional, mastering these competencies will help you build strong teams and drive long-term success. Check it out (below) and start refining your leadership toolkit today! Want to learn more about how Joyntly can help your leaders develop these competencies?

Recently, I had a conversation with an executive who was frustrated by the high costs of traditional leadership coaching. We talked about how valuable coaching can be, but the cost and time commitment often make it difficult to scale across an entire organization. It’s a dilemma many leaders face—wanting to provide the best development for their teams, but hitting roadblocks with expensive, resource-intensive methods. That’s when we started discussing how technology is transforming leadership development. Today, we can provide leaders with personalized, high-impact development experiences—offering the precision of one-on-one coaching—without the hefty price tag. Scalable, tech-enabled solutions allow us to tailor leadership growth for every individual while keeping it cost-effective for organizations. It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come, and I’m excited to be part of this shift towards accessible, scalable, and personalized leadership development.

A little bit of gratitude can go a long way, folks! I just heard from one of my MBA students in my Organizational Behavior class with Florida State University - College of Business, and her feedback has made my day! She said: "I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your class! I work in Talent Acquisition, so you talk about topics that I live and breathe every day. Even after 20+ years of experience, I learn something new and the scientific facts that you provide back up so many of my work initiatives and projects. I am talking about something I learned in class every day at work with my team and senior executives. I can't get enough - thank you!" Gratitude has a ripple effect, so I'm taking a moment today to acknowledge and thank my incredible colleagues who continue to inspire and support me. Let’s keep the gratitude flowing! #gratitude #OB #academia
