We tend to assume that leadership takes place under stable circumstances. Many of our theories of leadership conceptualize leadership under these “normal” and stable conditions. But what about situations where quick, effective decisions are critical? In times of crisis, effective leadership requires making tough decisions, communicating clearly and decisively, and inspiring confidence in others. This may involve thinking outside the box, taking risks, and being open to new ideas and perspectives.

Leaders who are prepared to face potential crises possess qualities such as resilience, courage, the ability to think strategically under pressure, and emotional intelligence. 

Rich and Maikel discuss leading in a pinch in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

You're a mid-career professional. Maybe sporting a little more gray than you did just a few years ago. You may have just lost your job, or feel that ageism has crept into your office and you are getting lost because the system doesn't know how to value people approaching or after 50. Yourself included. 

The simple fact of the matter is that age-based discrimination is alive and well, the workforce is becoming increasingly multi-generational, and careers are becoming less linear and more portfolio-based. Worse yet, the hiring system is broken! 

So instead of trying to turn back the clock, or try to repeat the years,  you need to take back control over your career, define the value you deliver, and get your network to sell that for you.

John Tarnoff is a career transition coach who helps people build more sustainable, meaningful, and purposeful careers that align with their values and their most prized talents.

John joins Rich and Maikel as we discuss the importance of redefining age and careers on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

In music, some of the most memorable performances aren’t about the notes musicians play—they’re about the ones they leave out. The spaces between the sounds create rhythm, swing, and connection. What if leadership worked the same way? 

Take Count Basie’s band, for example. Basie was famous for his minimalist piano style—he played fewer notes, giving the rhythm section room to groove and the soloists space to shine. The result? Music that felt effortless and alive.
 
Leaders, like musicians, often feel the pressure to “play every note”—to solve every problem, attend every meeting, or micromanage every decision. But just as music depends on collaboration, so does effective leadership. 
Leaving space allows team members to take ownership, contribute creatively, and create synergy.

Rich and Maikel jam to the beat of less is more on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Having women in leadership roles is essential for organizations and society, from driving innovation with diverse perspectives to fostering equity and inclusion, as well as serving as role models for future generations. Women leaders bring unique strengths that lead to better decision-making, improved performance, and often bring collaborative, empathetic, and transformational leadership styles that complement traditional approaches, fostering healthier work cultures.

Simply put, having women in leadership roles isn’t just about equality—it’s about unlocking the full potential of organizations and society.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!

Most leaders are stuck with the question, "How do you get people to act exactly as I want them to?"  Many of these same leaders define "successful" leadership as a tool for achieving efficiency and effectiveness, often focusing on narrow commercial outcomes. They tend to overlook the human qualities and dynamics of both leaders and those they lead. However, truly effective leaders understand that leadership is relationship-oriented, creative, and constructive and encourages the release of human possibilities - enabling others to break free of limits that are created organizationally or self-imposed.

What we are referring to is Synchronicity in Leadership.

Join Rich and Maikel as we dive deep into the topic of Synchronicity in Leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

In today’s fast-paced world, leaders can easily get caught up in advanced strategies and trending innovations. But what about the foundational skills that create a strong base for effective leadership? A leader with a solid grasp of a few core principles is far more impactful than someone with a broad yet shallow understanding of advanced tactics. The former is likely better equipped to diagnose issues and devise practical solutions. Furthermore, essential skills like effective communication, active listening, and accountability drive high-performing teams and create resilient organizations.

Mastering the fundamentals fosters discipline—a crucial trait for success in almost any endeavor. Developing a respect for the basics is, in essence, creating a respect for discipline itself. Embracing the fundamentals teaches leaders the focus and persistence needed to achieve meaningful, lasting success.

In this episode, Rich and Maikel dive into why mastering the fundamentals is crucial for long-term success in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
