You have no doubt heard or read others proclaiming: “Stop saying: ‘Return to work’. We’ve been working this whole time! And, we’ve been working longer, harder, and in more challenging ways than ever before!” You know what? They’re right. If there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s that this past year, regardless of industry, profession, etc., we’ve all had to work harder and more creatively than ever before.

Consulting probably isn’t the first industry that comes to mind when you hear the phrase “healthy work-life balance”. Indeed, the dreaded “grind” is as much an institution of the sector as PowerPoint decks and flipcharts are. There’s always been a sort of Faustian bargain at the heart of consulting: Young consultants implicitly accept that they’ll be working long hours, in exchange for generous compensation packages and the opportunity to develop their careers at a faster pace than peers who wen

Be intentional with your time. And beware of the meeting trap. Time is the scarcest resource leaders have. How a leader chooses to allocate their time is a reflection on their priorities and how they lead, and directly impacts their effectiveness and the performance of the organization. A leader’s calendar sends a powerful message to their organization.

‘Technological innovation’ has recently become an ossified catch-all term not only in venture capital circles, but in management consultancy as well. Under the deceiving influence of this catchy buzz-word, we tend to underestimate the complications which technological trailblazing entails. Such issues gain increasing relevance in a consulting career, if one decides to take projects with start-ups.

Most of us writers start with bad advice, to write “formally.” We're not supposed to talk to the reader. Or, we're supposed to avoid stories. Worse, we're supposed to use passive voice. That leads us to write like this: <A person> will be missed. Your work is appreciated. This work needs to be undertaken. Here's what's common in all of those sentences: All of them are “backwards” because we don't know who's speaking or doing the action.

Flying leg break during a black belt test in 2016. I stood facing a wall of black plastic boards, faintly hearing “U-S-A, U-S-A” chanting from the rest of our team in the stands. I measured the distance from the board with my leg, took a deep breath, and then performed a kick that I had practiced hundreds of times. I do not even think I felt the boards with my foot as my kick sliced clearly through them.

My grandfather was a civil rights leader in San Antonio, TX. He was instrumental in desegregating lunch counters and movie theaters in 1965. He was motivated by a simple but noble goal for Black girls and boys: "As I deserve, so shall it be; as I merit it, the door is open. Just by accident of birth, I'm not hindered or barred." It’s ironic that almost 56 years later this statement represents the same approach needed to ensure Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“ADEI”) initiatives hav

Delegation can be a leader’s best friend. When you delegate, you grow because you give yourself the time and opportunity to focus on higher-value activities that can have a greater impact for the firm. The person you delegate to also grows as they gain experience and expertise to take on new responsibilities. Yet, despite these obvious benefits, many leaders appear to view delegation with suspicion.
