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.

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

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.

The difference between a manager people follow and one they simply report too often comes down to one thing: influence over authority.

The best leaders inspire trust, build engagement, and bring out the best in others, regardless of their title.

Great leadership isn't about position, power, or pay grade. It's about the qualities that motivate people to willingly follow your lead. According to the latest Dale Carnegie blog, influential leaders consistently demonstrate seven key traits, including strong communication, integrity, emotional intelligence, accountability, and the ability to develop and empower others.

Whether you're leading a team, preparing for your next leadership role, or looking to strengthen your impact as a manager, these qualities can help you build trust, increase engagement, and create a culture where people perform at their best.

These principles, originally shared by Dale Carnegie in How to Win Friends and Influence People, have remained relevant for decades because they focus on a timeless truth: influencing others isn't about pointing out what's wrong, it's about encouraging growth and positive change.

Too often, conversations focus on mistakes and shortcomings. Strong relationships, whether at work or in life, are built when people feel valued, respected, and empowered to improve.

While communication methods may evolve, the fundamentals of human relationships remain remarkably consistent. People want to feel appreciated, understood, and respected.

Which of these nine principles do you find most impactful in your interactions with others?
