A lot can change in 90 years.

We've gone from handwritten letters to instant messages, face-to-face meetings to video calls, and conversations around the office to connections across the world. Through it all, the principles in Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People have continued to stand the test of time.

People still want to be treated with respect. A sincere compliment still means something. And taking a genuine interest in someone can open the door to a lasting relationship.

That's the beauty of this book. Its lessons are just as useful around the dinner table as they are in the workplace.

Here's to keeping those principles alive for generations to come.

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.

Sometimes psychological safety can be as simple as knowing you can say, “I need help,” and trust what happens next.

People do their best work in environments where they feel included and able to contribute, learn, ask questions, and raise concerns.

That kind of workplace doesn’t happen by accident. It grows through the way people listen to each other, respond to mistakes, handle disagreement, and make room for different voices.

What’s one thing a leader can do to make it easier for people to speak up?

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.

That isn't resistance. It's misalignment. And it starts before implementation ever begins.

"The Dale Carnegie Course was the first course, and Dale Carnegie's book was the first book in self-help that I employed." - Marc S. Cooper, Chairman & CEO of Solomon Partners
