As the labor market cools, companies are increasing their efforts to bring workers back to the office, though not necessarily requiring them to come in five days a week. The trend towards remote work is still ongoing, with some employers enforcing a return to office policy, but not necessarily on a full-time basis. There is an increasing agreement that while working in-person has benefits, there are also advantages to remote work, at least some of the time.

However, the precise contours of the new hybrid status quo are still a work in progress. From a leadership standpoint, it is a potential train wreck in the making. To effectively maintain a highly functional culture, and balance organizational success, this will take a new breed of leader who are adept at keeping their fingers on the pulse of how this fast-changing reality is evolving.  The days of promoting great individual contributors to leadership positions without high-level leadership development and business acumen are in the past.

Rich and Maikel discuss the new hybrid status-quo business models in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

As job coaches, Maikel and I have seen a disturbing trend in the practice of HR ghosting candidates after multiple interviews.  This is starting to become an expected trend for several of our job seekers that we work with. Ghosting candidates after an interview is not a professional or respectful practice. It also speaks volumes about your personal leadership ability as well as the culture present in the organization you represent. 

It is important for HR to communicate with candidates, whether they are being moved forward in the hiring process or not. Providing timely closure to candidates, even if it is a rejection, shows respect for their time and effort in applying and interviewing for the position. Ghosting candidates can create a negative experience and impression of the company, which can impact the company's reputation and ability to attract top talent in the future.

Rich and Maikel discuss the increasing trend of ghosting job candidates in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

We live in a society where instant gratification has become the norm. For some reason, leadership has become something that is now a fast-track exercise. Global surveys on leadership, as well as employee feedback, show that the fast track isn't working. Quite frankly, it never has.

Too often, leaders are attempting to fast-track their careers without taking the necessary time to develop their skills and gain valuable experience. This can lead to problems down the line, as they may not have the necessary understanding and expertise to effectively lead a team or organization. Leaders need to be patient and put in the hard work to truly earn their position, rather than rushing to the top without putting in the necessary effort. By taking the time to develop their skills and gain experience, leaders can ensure that they are well-equipped to handle the challenges and responsibilities that come with their role.

Rich and Maikel talk about real leadership and why skipping the express elevator to the top has real merit on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

How many times have you felt as a leader that people just aren't listening to what you have to say? You start to feel as if nothing you say has any importance at all to the people you are talking to, regardless of who they are in the organization. You conclude that people just don't care what you have to say, or are out to get you.

Most of the reasons people may not listen to you are because of you – so be a person that they want to listen to. Be a person who listens to themselves, who speaks well and tells interesting stories well, who talks with the right people, and who is trustworthy and has a good reputation. And most importantly, has a genuine interest in getting to know the folks you work with.

Rich and Maikel talk about effective communication in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

In part 2 of this series, we go even further down the rabbit hole of narcissistic behavior in leadership. These are the folks who could give a toxic culture an even worse name. These are the relationship manipulators, rumor starters, dirt gatherers, and smile in your face while twisting the proverbial knife types. All in the name of making themselves look that much better in a twisted attempt to climb the ladder on the backs of those they betray. The Grinch wouldn't be caught in the same room with these folks!

Rich and Maikel go a shade darker to enlighten those leaders who need to turn it down a notch in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Dorian Gray from all outside appearances was the ideal vision of youth.  He lived a life of hedonism and excess, constantly seeking pleasure and indulging in his every whim. He remained young and beautiful and from all outside appearances, it looked as though he had everything going for him. However, on the inside was a different story and the portrait that held his true image showed the monster he had become. 

Dorian Gray's story serves as a cautionary tale for those who are chasing their career goals at any and all cost. 

In part 1 of a 2 part series, Rich and Maikel uncover the portrait of leadership for those who would sell out others to obtain their goals in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Imposter Syndrome (IS) is a psychological pattern characterized by chronic self-doubt and a pervasive fear of being unmasked as a fraud, despite evidence of competence and success. Those experiencing Imposter Syndrome often attribute their accomplishments to external factors, discounting their abilities and contributions. 

Imposter Syndrome can have a significant impact on one's mental health and well-being, as it can create a cycle of negative self-talk and undermine confidence and self-worth. It can also lead to self-sabotaging behaviors. In leadership positions, IS can result in a  toxic work environment and a lack of trust and confidence in those leaders suffering from IS.

To overcome Imposter Syndrome, it is important to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, practice self-compassion and acceptance, seek support from an executive coach, trusted friends, family, or a therapist, and reframe success as a result of hard work and skill rather than luck or external factors. 

Rich and Maikel discuss how to deal with Imposter Syndrome in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Global surveys show that the vast majority of leaders are struggling. Some surveys are as low as 75%, while others show that 91% of all leaders are failing. One reason they cannot escape their challenges is they have a gap; they are lacking in one area or derailing in another. Think about a sports team that is having trouble winning. A good coach can often pinpoint the problem and steer the team back on the road to success by assessing the team's gaps and refocusing their efforts on the fundamentals of the game. 

Like sports and virtually every other discipline in the world, leadership has its own fundamentals. There are five fundamental principles that uncommon leaders know and live by. Uncommon leaders are those who seek to engage and develop others and make them feel valued. So, how are you doing with your leadership fundamentals?

In this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, Rich and Maikel will talk about those five fundamental principles that uncommon leaders have in common.

In a previous episode, we asked the question, "Would You Hire Yourself as a Leader?  How many of you who listened to that episode, took the challenge, and inventoried your skills and talents as a leader? Would you hire yourself to lead your organization to success, regardless of the title or presumed perks that senior leadership comes with? We are back with a similar question on whether or not you would recommend yourself to your organization to be a leader. 

So many would consider their educational pedigree as enough qualification. Would you be disappointed if we told you that is not enough, not by a long shot? What we are asking you is to inventory your real-world leadership skills and talents dealing with the day-to-day that can only be gained through time and experience. So take the challenge and ask yourself, would I recommend myself as a leader?

Rich and Maikel discuss what it takes to be an effective leader in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Legacy toxicity is a term increasingly prevalent in organizational discourse. It refers to the deeply ingrained negative elements within a workplace's culture and practices.  Not only is this the resulting legacy of poor leadership, but it can also be the result of a hidden agenda, a poorly managed acquisition, runaway silos, or poor leadership selection. 

It is a disappointing realization that sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side and can be the same old noxious weed patch. 

Rich and Maikel discuss what happens when the new boss is the same as the old boss in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
