Many initiatives don't lose momentum because the strategy is flawed. They lose momentum because the message doesn't translate consistently from leadership to ex*****on.

define the direction.
help employees understand what that direction means in practice.

When organizations fail to equip managers to reinforce , answer questions, and build during change, alignment begins to weaken.

Leading successfully isn't only about communicating the vision. It's about enabling managers to carry that vision into everyday conversations across the organization.

Organizations that invest in management capability are often better positioned to maintain trust, engagement, and adoption throughout periods of transformation.

map the change. Managers are supposed to carry it to their teams. But if managers were never taught how to have that conversation, the plan stalls the moment it leaves the slide deck.

That's not a resistance problem. That's a skills gap in the people delivering the message.

“My number one piece of advice is try it. Use it, look at it like a beta test. If the response is bad, and I look stupid, okay, I won’t do it next time. But let me just try it this time.” - Cheryl McKissack Daniel, Chair of the Board of McKissack & McKissack.
Courage starts with being willing to try.

On the latest episode of Take Command, our CEO Joe Hart speaks with Cheryl McKissack Daniel about overcoming fear, building lasting relationships, and leading with a long-term vision.

A few key takeaways from the conversation:
🔹 Think beyond the present. Lasting comes from investing in people, skills, and relationships that create value for generations.
🔹 Treat as a beta test. You don't have to feel completely ready to take action. Step forward, learn from the experience, and keep going.
🔹 Build through . Effective leaders are decisive, dependable, and clear about what they stand for.
🔹 Make room for others to . Leadership isn't just about what you achieve. It's about creating an environment where others can reach their full potential.

Cheryl's leadership journey includes major projects such as LaGuardia Gateway Partners Airport, the site, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Her message is a powerful reminder: You don't have to feel ready to take the first step. You only have to be willing to try.

Here's a question for our Dale Carnegie graduates: What's one skill you want to get even better at?

Think about how far you've come since your first session. The conversations you've approached differently, the confidence you've built, and the challenges you've learned to navigate. Now imagine what you could accomplish by building on that momentum. Whether your next goal involves leadership, communication, or developing your entire team, there's a path forward.

We've put together a few ideas to help you find your next move.

Your body joins every conversation you have — even when you’re not thinking about it.

A smile when someone walks into the room. Turning toward a coworker who joins the conversation. A slight nod that encourages someone to keep talking. Eye contact that shows you’re still with them.

These little signals can help people feel welcomed, heard, and comfortable around you. Make sure you take note of them.

Sales is built one conversation at a time.

The strongest sales professionals know how to get curious, listen for what matters, ask thoughtful questions, and create an experience that earns a customer’s trust.

Winning with Relationship Selling gives you the chance to practice those skills and become more intentional about the way you build relationships throughout the sales process.

If you’re ready to sharpen your approach and create stronger customer connections, join us for our upcoming course in Denver.

Your organization doesn't have a problem. It may have a problem. Many organizations invest heavily in attracting and developing talent. Yet high-potential employees often hesitate to challenge assumptions, advocate for ideas, or step confidently into leadership opportunities.

The result can be slower decisions, missed opportunities, and untapped leadership potential across the organization.

Building leadership capability isn't only about technical expertise. It's about helping people communicate with confidence, contribute more effectively, and influence outcomes at every level.

Organizations that strengthen confidence and leadership presence often benefit from:

✅ Stronger decision-making
✅ Greater initiative and accountability
✅ More effective communication
✅ A deeper leadership pipeline

Where does hesitation have the greatest impact in your organization: decision-making, communication, innovation, or leadership readiness?

Think about the last time you had an idea in a meeting. Did you share it immediately? Or did you first wonder how everyone else in the room might react?

Psychological safety means people feel included and able to learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo without fear of being embarrassed, marginalized, or punished.

Leaders help build that safety in everyday moments — especially in how they respond when someone asks a question, makes a mistake, or offers a different perspective.

“I want to become a stronger leader.”

Great. Now get specific.

Do you want to communicate more clearly? Build trust faster? Handle difficult conversations with confidence? Motivate your team? Become more effective at influencing others?

Identifying how you want to grow gives you somewhere to start.

Our trainings provide practical opportunities to develop those skills, practice them, and put them to work.

Your next level of leadership starts with deciding what you want to strengthen.

10/05/2026

Growth doesn’t wait for a certain job title. Maybe you want to speak up with more confidence. Handle difficult conversations better. Build stronger relationships. Become someone others trust and want to work with.

Those skills matter at every stage of a career.

Dale Carnegie is for people who are ready to keep learning, practicing, and seeing what they’re capable of next.

You can be incredibly good at your job and still have room to grow in how you work with people.

Maybe it’s becoming a better listener. Having more confidence in difficult conversations. Learning how to motivate different personalities. Giving feedback people can actually use.

Those skills show up every single day, regardless of what’s written in your job description.

We’re proud to share that Dale Carnegie has been recognized as a 2026 Training Magazine Network Choice Awards Winner in the Leadership Development category.

Leadership today calls for more than knowledge. It requires the ability to build trust, communicate with impact, make sound decisions, develop people, and lead through change.

That’s what we continue to focus on at Dale Carnegie: helping leaders at every level develop the human skills that turn leadership potential into meaningful performance.

Thank you to the Training Magazine Network community and to everyone who continues to learn, lead, and grow with us.
Here’s to developing leaders who are ready for what’s next.

Engagement lives in ordinary moments.

It’s in the manager who makes time for a meaningful check-in. The leader who recognizes someone’s contribution. The conversation that gives an employee clarity about where they’re headed. The decision to ask for someone’s perspective and genuinely listen.

Those moments become part of the culture when leaders consistently create the conditions for them to happen.

What’s one everyday leadership behavior that has made you feel more engaged at work?

10/01/2026

Our managers are having hard conversations every day. Or avoiding them.
Someone shows up late. A report misses the mark. Performance starts to slip.

New and experienced managers alike know they need to address it, but without the right preparation, those conversations can damage team trust instead of rebuilding it.

The challenge for L&D leaders?
They can't be in every room.
➡️ Give the entire management team a scalable way to prepare for the moments that matter most
➡️ Built for real-time constraints - on their schedule, at their own pace
➡️ Backed by an AI Coach for practice and reinforcement, not just one-time training

Dale Carnegie's Professional Development Microlearning Subscription + AI Coach turns hard conversations into ones managers are actually ready for.

Think about how many hours you spend interacting with your manager over the course of a week.

It makes sense that those interactions can have an enormous influence on how you experience your job.

In one LinkedIn poll, nearly 70% of employees surveyed said they would quit because of a bad manager. Meanwhile, a Gallup poll found 37% of U.S. workers said a manager or leader had the greatest positive influence in their daily lives.

That’s a remarkable amount of influence.

Managers have opportunities every day to make people feel trusted, supported, challenged, appreciated, and excited about the work they’re doing.

What’s something a great manager has done that stuck with you?

looks different depending on where you sit.
believe the organization is on the same page.
Less than half of individual , the people closest to ex*****on, agree.
That isn't resistance. It's misalignment. And it starts before implementation ever begins.
