To attract and retain top talent, make sure you hit this trifecta.

Too many organizations equate middle management with bloated bureaucracy. But the blame for saddling managers with bureaucratic tasks rests squarely with senior leaders—and it’s up to them to fix it.

CEOs need to develop an approach that reflects their organization’s mission, supports excellence and productivity, and promotes positive employee relations.

Even CEOs can find it challenging to give direct, honest and sometimes difficult feedback to direct reports. Here’s how to fix that.

CEOs need to connect individual roles to the larger purpose and set specific and measurable goals aligned with that purpose.

Companies need senior leaders who are brand ambassadors and who can move from transactional to transformative.

Don’t miss out on a simple but powerful way to boost performance.

Leaders can better drive performance by focusing on why and how work takes place, rather than where it happens.

Human capital may sound cold or like bizspeak, but the people side of the business is expensive and has still not gotten the attention it deserves.
