Ahhh, the narcissistic boss. The ones that always need to be the center of attention, flashy, and arrogant, must be constantly praised for their work and be seen as highly competent. For them, the title and all the bells and whistles that come with it are more important than actually being able to do the job or lead their people. They can take a bad day and turn it into a world-class train wreck and then turn around and blame you for the mess.

So how do you recognize and deal with the narcissistic boss?

join us as Rich and Maikel unpack 15 signs of a narcissistic boss and how to deal with them in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Leaders, Lead Well!

Versatility is the master capability for leading in a VUCA world — that is, one characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. We define versatility as the ability to read and respond to change with a wide repertoire of complementary skills and behaviors. 

However, versatility in leaders is rare.

In a case study by Kasier Leadership Solutions, 24,000 leaders were assessed over six years using a 360-degree tool they designed. The outcome was that less than 10% of those leaders tested had the skills and capabilities to be effective leaders in a VUCA world. That means that more than 21,000 of those leaders were not prepared for the business challenges of today. However, the skills and talents to lead are not as mysterious as some would think they are.

in our 300th episode, Rich and Maikel discuss those leadership styles that help leaders be capable of effective leadership in a VUCA world. Join us on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

In this part 2 we get into why it is critical to give a 100% effort at all times.  However, does this mean that each team member's 100% should be the same as everyone else? Or does that mean giving 100% effort based on your individual skills and talents and your place on the team? 
We also discuss why it is critical to understand the leader's style in your organization and how to complement that within the team. 

Join Rich and Maikel on this episode of the Art of Leading Teammates on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Love or hate him, there is no denying that Tom Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. He holds several records as a quarterback but what about his ability to lead a team? So often we obsess about who is the “greatest of all time,” who is most responsible for a win, or what players or coaches a team might add next season to become even better. What can get lost in this way of thinking is that leaders don’t accomplish anything by themselves. In fact, nothing of significance in life is achieved alone.

In an article published in Harvard Business Review, Tom talks in-depth about the importance of being a team player.

Rich and Maikel pass this topic around in this multi-part series on Tom Brady and the Art of Leading Teammates in this Mainline Executive Coaching ACT episode.

We often discuss the benefits of great leadership in organizations. How great leaders impact great culture, employee retention, engagement, and success. But what about the true impact of poor leadership and what is the real cost?

Studies show that the negative impact of poor leadership goes far beyond just a toxic culture or unengaged employees. The real cost can show up in unhappiness in life, not reaching full potential, poor health, and even death! Yes, studies show that executives are  "52% more likely to die earlier" due to stress. 

The bottom line is that the cost of poor leadership impacts far more than just the numbers. You may think you are above this; however, statistics show you are more likely to be one of those impacted. 

Rich and Maikel discuss why poor leadership costs far more than just the bottom line on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

There is a lot stigma still surrounding executive coaching. Almost like a topic discussed in the darkest corner out of earshot from everyone else. Places where you would hear, "Don't say anything but I think Bob is getting coaching," or "Can you hook me up with a good coach?" The genuine fear is that if your peers found out, you'd be thrown out of the good ole boys club for certain or branded mediocre at best. All of which is NONSENSE!

The fact of the matter is leadership coaching has become critical in today’s modern working world. Industries and technology are evolving fast, and it’s important for companies to continue hiring and developing top talent to keep pace, not to mention retain that talent. Coaching has a proven track record for success with a measurable ROI.

Alexandra Popkova, PCC, is a results-driven OD executive with +10 years of international experience. Alexandra has a proven track record of effective team leadership, robust client engagement, and strategic planning across diverse regions including Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, India, and Russia.

Alexandra joins Rich, and Maikel as we discuss why executive coaching ain't just for sissies anymore on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Unfortunately, global statistics show that most organizations don’t have effective leaders. The truth is that the vast majority of people in "leadership positions" aren’t trained to be leaders! Even those who may have pursued advanced business degrees are likely overwhelmed by theory, not practical advice and opportunities for application. 

Unfortunately, in many job settings, skilled individual contributors tend to be promoted into leadership positions, whether they have the requisite leadership skills or not. This all too common practice leads to a significant leadership skills gap in most organizations. 

The bottom line is that just because somebody is in a leadership position doesn’t mean they have leadership skills. When leaders fall short everyone suffers. Or in other words, everything else sucks.

Rich and Maikel dive into the deep end of poor leadership on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Effective leaders are frequently characterized as "passionate." They are deeply committed to their cause, their leadership style, and their positive influence on others. However, patience is not a trait commonly linked to business owners, executives, or managers. Despite this common perception, patience and passion share a surprising similarity. In fact, they are two sides of the same coin.

Patience is more than just a virtue; it is an emotionally intelligent approach to leadership. Leaders who harness the power of patience are likelier to make well-considered decisions for the greater good, lead with integrity, and establish sustainable companies for long-term success. 

Rich and Maikel discuss how passion influences patience in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

In our continuing series on culture trends for 2024, we discuss some current organizational culture trends outlined in this article from OC Tanner. We are passionate about culture, and how it impacts the most important part of any organization, the people. The fact that organizations and leaders need to be reminded of these important aspects of organizational culture is at a minimum proof positive of the sorry state of culture in so many organizations globally. 

Rich and Maikel continue to discuss these five cultural trends in part II in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

In part one of this series, we discuss 5 trends for organizational culture in 2024. Do we agree with all of these trends, not necessarily.
