Leadership

Increasingly, leadership is needed at every level of an organization, so it's important to foster these traits of great leaders.

Becoming a thought leader is a long-term commitment and a lot of work. However, successful firms know the investment is worth it.

To see how effective you are, you need a combination of technical skills and must measure "above the line" and "below the line."

Looking at SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) can be a great start but must move to a deeper level of sophistication.

Suicide and mental health need to be openly discussed in the workplace so that we can destigmatize the issues and prevent tragedies.

CMOs and CIOs must collaborate to build a Dream Team and demonstrate ever-greater value. The key is breaking efforts into six chunks.

While change management is important for innovation, so is "un-change management," which focuses on eliminating waste.

Firms often don't highlight experts for fear that they (and the brand) will walk out the door, but that misunderstands thought leadership.
