Leadership Resources

Are the next leaders at your company sitting in the room?

What's the ripple effect of developing their leadership skills today?

Many people see leadership development as a 'nice to have' someday.

Others, like Stephens and Smith, see it as imperative to securing the future of their business.

Equipping leaders with skills to lead didn't only improve time management skills, communication skills, and reduce turnover...

It unified their leaders across departments, allowing the company to bid and win more projects.

$45M in sales to $75M. ESOP stock value doubled.

For a company whose motto is 'An Owner on Every Project', the professionalism and effectiveness of their leaders isn't only a $30M difference in sales near-term. It means securing the future of the businesses long-term.

Are your leaders equipped to carry the torch?

💡 June Leadership Tip: Promoting a star employee? Here's one step leaders often skip.

When a high-performing team member moves into a supervisory role, they bring a proven track record, but that doesn't automatically prepare them for the harder parts of leadership: delivering uncomfortable news, resolving conflict, or redirecting behavior.

Those skills need real practice.

Try this:
→ Pair them with a mentor in your organization who handles those situations well.
→ Walk them through real-life scenarios and ask how they'd respond.
→ Make space for role-playing so they can build confidence before it counts.

The best leaders aren't born ready, they're developed intentionally.

Recognition matters.

This month’s leadership tip from our Director of Client Solutions, Andy Grant, is simple but often overlooked.

The data makes it clear:
Leaders in the bottom 10% for recognition rank in just the 27th percentile for engagement.
Leaders in the top 10%? They jump to the 70th percentile.

Andy’s challenge for us this month is to give someone recognition! Make sure to be specific, timely, and meaningful.

Drop a 👏 if you’re committing to recognize someone this week.

Ever promote a high performer into leadership and watch them struggle?

It's not a character flaw. It's a training gap.

They're great at the work, but nobody taught them how to lead people, delegate, communicate, or manage their time at a higher level.

For Stephens & Smith, a Nebraska construction company, that skill gap was costing them. Leaders weren't communicating. Departments competed instead of collaborated. And capturing the full market was out of reach.

The Accelerate Leadership Program changed that.

They grew from $45M to $75M. Same people. Better leaders.

And that’s a wrap!

Thank you to everyone who joined our latest webinar: You set the goals—now what? From planning to ex*****on.

We had a blast hosting you all, and we hope we made a meaningful impact on your ex*****on strategies.

One of our attendees brought up a great question! “What happens when the goal itself is not clear, but it’s still being shared down?”

Watch the clip to see how our leadership coach, Laurie Matthew Tullius, responded.
