The key to positive leadership: focusing on others
When leaders are Other-focused, they can facilitate the conditions that cultivate high trust and deep engagement as a natural consequence of their communication and presence. An easy place to start is to ask more questions - both of others and also ourselves.
The power of superfans: how positive relationships fuel success
Positive leaders tune into the importance of creating the right environment to have this sort of support present for everyone, and recognise how it can inspire trust and confidence, while also facilitating collaboration, teamwork and mutual encouragement to strive for high performance.
The hidden power of the words we choose to use
Our words carry invisible impact, impact that has a direct impact on our relationships and performance. As leaders, it pays to be far more deliberate about the words we use, and research has found direct correlations between our communication, our performance and the climate we create.

Inspiring legendary loyalty to cultivate a thriving team culture
‘Employees don’t quit their jobs, they quit their bosses’ is a headline we often see in leadership literature, along with statistics such as ‘seven in 10 U.S. workers say they would leave a job if they had a bad manager,’ (LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence survey.) Leaders are often under increasing pressure to perform in challenging circumstances whilst instigating high engagement and productivity across their teams, and what can help is if we flip the script.
