As the fog of uncertainty looms along the horizon, it is critical that we view the future with a refreshed perspective and playbook. During tumultuous periods especially, there are certain characteristics that distinguish good companies that get by – or even struggle – from great companies that thrive.

There’s no question we’re living through a period of unprecedented change and uncertainty. But is this period of uncertainty something to dread, or does it present an opportunity to transform the way we lead to achieve enduring growth and success? My guest for this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”, Faisal Hoque, certainly sees the latter as being true and he presents a compelling case for why the rest of us should, too.

When it comes to adopting new technology, one of the top questions that many organizations have is, “How will this technology change affect our relationship with our customers?” They are afraid that the introduction of technology will negatively impact the human connection with their customers. Technology is meant to support and not take away from your customer’s experience.

Forgetfulness is costing you time, money, and a ton of missed opportunities. In the age of automation, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a well-trained human mind. But memory isn’t just a parlor trick, it's a strategic edge. Human memory is one of the most underrated business skills. Whether you’re managing people, leading sessions, or having high-stakes conversations, remembering names, details, and concepts can be transformative in building trust, absorbing knowledge, and driving perform

Designing a space for a hybrid work approach can be confusing given the hard-to-answer questions around number of seats and square footage required. In an activity-based workplace (ABW) employees can choose from a variety of work settings throughout the day. This means that space is more fluid, more shared, and fundamentally less dedicated. The office of the future is one that provides that flexibility, offers more choices onsite, and focuses on meeting employee needs in a way that leads to a ha

Most company leaders say that they want their employees to be heard. They want their employees to have a voice. But, when it comes down to it, what exactly does “employee voice” include? Is it simply just about speaking up when they have a concern? What is employee voice? Employee voice is more of an all-encompassing phrase to describe the ways in which employees are able to contribute, influence and share their points of view as it relates to work activities, decisions and overall company cultu

To meet the demand for flexible work models, leaders must innovate, iterate, and constantly listen to employees. As a return to in-person work faces continued scrutiny, workers’ relationships to the corporate office and the future of work have never been more uncertain. Many employees who have spent the past two years working remotely are reluctant to return to the office on a full-time basis, even as their employers offer in-person benefits.

I have always liked the idea of the elevator pitch —that is, the ability to sell yourself and what your company offers in the span of an elevator ride. But the elevator pitch has become too slow for our times. It even sounds slow. Technology has made everything faster, so your pitch has got to be faster too. Today your “ride” lasts no more than two minutes, and sometimes as little as 30 seconds.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

How are you doing professionally? Are you thriving or barely surviving? Maybe you’re somewhere in between… The end of the year is a perfect time to reflect and reassess. Before you set goals and think about the future, it’s always wise to spend some time reviewing the past. After all, you can’t move forward if you don’t truly understand where you are and how you got there.

If you asked a random business owner what their biggest struggle is right at this very moment, what do you think their response would be? The smart money is on “hiring”. Recruiting is a massive challenge for virtually every company right now. The economy is in a weird place—not quite a recession, but not too far from one, either. That uncertainty is making any kind of long-term planning a challenge.
