Discover 25 ADHD organization tools for adults, from time-management systems to mental health apps, plus practical tips to stay focused and reduce overwhelm.

CEOs understand the importance of resource allocation, operational resilience, and strategic planning. Yet an equally important asset often goes unrecognized, even inside the most sophisticated organizations. A corporate legacy is a strategic narrative that documents a company’s origins, defining moments, culture, contributions, and long-range ambitions. When crafted and implemented intentionally, the corporate legacy becomes a strategic tool that supports leadership continuity, guides decision-making, strengthens […]

Venture capital is often portrayed as a world of bold bets, visionary instincts, and gut-driven decisions. While instinct has its place, the truth is that consistently great firms don’t run on instinct alone. Like all great businesses, they run on well-organized systems. Just as startups build an operating system to scale beyond their founders, venture capital firms must establish their own internal operating […]

More than a decade ago, when I first began writing books about the power of peers, I started with a simple truth people intuitively understand because they’ve lived it their entire lives: who we surround ourselves with matters. Our language proves the point: birds of a feather flock together, we’re known by the company we keep, a rising tide lifts all boats. Peers shape our behavior long […]

We CEOs love our jargon and buzzwords. Synergy, pivot, disruption, AI… the list just keeps going. These terms often fill our meetings and presentations, conveying a sense of progress and innovation. However, one word that shouldn’t be a buzzword for CEOs is “team.”  Too many leaders throw around that term when referring to their employees and partners, without […]

Managing the present consumes a majority of the CEOs time. Chasing numbers, meeting revenue targets, managing resources, attending meetings, are all tasks that seek a CEO’s constant attention and engagements on a daily basis. Yet, effective CEOs, leading with purpose, think beyond growing numbers and business- to growing capabilities of people. Though not tangible and immediate, impact of acquired capabilities is immense, in terms of building long-term organizational resilience and success. Here are some of key capabilities CEOs can help grow in employees: #Learning: In a knowledge economy, learning is linked with one’s ability to learn. Here merely “knowing” is not enough, “know-how” is equally vital. While making a […]

For over thirty-five years, I’ve been advising businesses that are working (or contemplating working) abroad on the cultural differences they will encounter. Essentially, how to work more effectively, more profitably, “elsewhere”. For many that meant having to deal with culturally different ways of getting things done that they did not know existed and did not know how to successfully manage. Some obvious such as greetings, […]

In 2025, the world is witnessing an extraordinary wave of female ascendancy in politics and commerce. From Namibia’s first woman president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, to Japan’s Sanae Takaichi and Ireland’s Catherine Connolly, women are not merely participating in leadership—they are defining it. Yet even as corridors of power grow more inclusive, the trust placed in women leaders remains stubbornly […]

Growth takes on a different shape when purpose sets the direction. Some organizations expand because demand accelerates faster than planned. Others expand because their mission gives them a clear reason to move forward. When companies focus on both communities and customers, growth becomes more thoughtful. It becomes a process that supports real people while building systems that […]

Key Takeaways:  Traditional, short-term financial metrics limit strategic visibility and organizational resilience in volatile markets.  Higher education institutions model a comprehensive ROI, measuring not just earnings but leadership growth, adaptability, and civic commitment.  Leadership development must be treated as a primary ROI metric, focusing on measurable traits like resilience, authenticity, and adaptability.  Organizations must use […]

Most companies have some top individuals with the potential for the extraordinary. These potential Game Changers are ready and willing to make a difference. But too often, left alone instead of guided and supported, they stagnate. It is a false belief to say, “Great talents prevail anyway.” Having faith in that approach can stand in the way of […]

Traditional executives have stayed fixated on quarterly results. However, elite CEOs are quietly rethinking what modern leadership demands and placing bold bets that traditional C-suites are missing the mark. When small mistakes lead to oversized consequences, and survival depends on agility, knowing your competitors’ priorities is a necessity. Here’s a look at what top CEOs are actually […]

As leaders, we’re experts at building long-term value. What if our most powerful frameworks could be applied to our most important stakeholders: our families?  As C-suite leaders, we’re driven by strategy. We build frameworks, mitigate risk, and invest in developing our top talent. We know that long-term vision is what separates success from stagnation. It’s a challenge I’ve been thinking about a […]

Research shows we judge our own vulnerability through a more negative lens than others do. In what’s known as the ‘beautiful mess effect’, the moments we may perceive as weakness, others might view as courageous. I learnt this the day I got escorted off Facebook’s headquarters in Silicon Valley. I had flown from Melbourne with one mission: find Mark Zuckerberg and make him laugh with my best five minutes […]

It’s not about selling products, Serhant says. It’s about selling relationships.
