The Standing Eight Count - leadership article by Imad Lodhi

Leadership

The Standing Eight Count

Resilience does not always mean getting back up immediately. Sometimes people and teams need a deliberate pause to regain their footing, understand what happened, and return ready rather than merely standing.

When Motivation Goes Missing - leadership article by Imad Lodhi

Employee Experience

When an employee loses their spark, leaders often label it a motivation problem. But before blaming attitude, managers should examine whether the workplace has quietly removed purpose, progress, recognition, autonomy, and the ability to make a difference.

What You Celebrate Becomes the Culture

A leader once told me, “We recognize people all the time.”So I asked him to think about the last big IT delivery win. The person who restored the service at 2:00 in the morning was thanked publicly.

‍The Hidden Cost of Emotionally Investing in an Underperforming Employee

Have you ever watched a parent insist that their child is the best player on the hockey team… while everyone in the arena can clearly see they aren’t? The parent isn’t lying. They’re emotionally invested. That emotional investment changes how they interpret reality. Unfortunately, the same thing happens in organizations. Only this time, it isn’t a parent. It’s a manager.

When Your Team Bonds Over One Difficult Coworker

We’ve all seen it happen. A team that seems incredibly close. They have inside jokes. They finish each other’s sentences. They help one another without hesitation. From the outside, it looks like the perfect team. Then you spend a little time with them. Almost every conversation eventually circles back to the same person.
