Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing leaders in my network.  As a self-proclaimed leadership geek, I like to stay on top of all the current leadership issues and opportunities that organizations face.  International Women’s Day celebrates women and is also a time to ask: Are things better for women?  Last year, we began to see signs that progress was slowing. I was particularly alarmed at the number of diversity heads. Their primary reason for stepping down was a lack of commitment and funding, as companies shifted their focus to other areas they saw as having mo ..read more

Back in the fall of 2011, we hired Jenny onto the team I was leading at the time. She was our first team member who would fill a new junior consulting role.

We invested in her development, and she represented the future to me.  Fast forward twelve years and Jenny Ma once again is a colleague.

Last week, my team and I celebrated the fifth anniversary of our company. We also celebrated Carole Clarke, a critical team member and employee number two. She has spent five years with LCI and has been a critical member of the team since almost day one. It’s an opportune moment for all leaders to recognize a fundamental truth that often escapes us amidst the hustle and bustle of business life: our employees give us their lives. Not just their time or their skills, but the invaluable hours of their lives that they could spend elsewhere. They choose to be with us, to grow with us, and to comm ..read more

Note: A version of this was previously published on Forbes. You’ll find the most powerful and capable leaders at the top of a company’s hierarchy. The CEO and the senior executives yield great power and responsibility.

Who is this unsung leader? The CEO’s executive assistant (EA). They often operate in the shadows but are the linchpins that ensure the organizatio ..read more
