Self-care. I learned this lesson late in life.

And as I celebrate today my 66th birthday, my mission is clear.

To help successful leaders and their teams to even balance caring for themselves, and with the positive energy received, even better care for both those in their charge and business results.

Thank you today to 3 of my many mentors who were willing to spend 5 weeks with me.

Gratitude is a magical emotion, unleashing positivity.

Try it and share!

When I became a trailing spouse and followed my darling French/Italian wife to Gex, France, just outside of Geneva, I could not have believed what goodness would unfold.

Massive gratitude gives me the energy to be, according to the words of one highly successful Swiss Entrepreneur of the Year, "The most positive person I have ever met."

Are you or is someone you know looking for an Executive Coach able to infuse you with massive positivity AND hold the mirror with authentic courage to share what is holding you back?  DM me.

Best visualization ever of 
unconditional positive regard.

If, like me, you learn visually, gollow Pejman Milani !

@milanicreative | Visual teacher simplifying complexity with visual metaphors | +20 years high school teacher

What’s the difference between generosity and strategy?

Or more precisely, what connects your actions and your expectations?
(whether it’s spoken aloud or a silent understanding)

• “I’ll help you ONLY WHEN you help me" → Transactional
• "I'll help you BECAUSE you helped me" → Reciprocal
• "I'll help you SO THAT you'll help me later" → Manipulative
• "I'll help you." → Unconditional

Some relationships are meant to be transactional. That's okay.
It’s how most of the world works.

But the relationships that hit different are the ones that don’t keep score. 

And it's worth knowing which kind you're in and which kind you're offering.

P.S. If you're new here, I'm Pejman Milani (milanicreative).

I've made hundreds of visual metaphors like this as friendly reminders to help live a more intentional and creative life.

$30B lost in < 2 years!!!

Customer Focus. Process Improvement.    

Both can transform a business.

When treated as an "either/or" even Starbucks can be brought to their knees.

Customer Focus. Process Improvement. These are a "both/and." 

Question for you, dear reader and the insightful Leysan :

Would you agree that Exec Team continuous leadership growth is as important as Customer Focus and Process Improvement?

Follow me for another example of  massive value creation and loss.

CFO | Strategic Business Partner | Financial Performance

Starbucks is on its 4th CEO in less than 3 years.

September 2024: Brian Niccol takes over. His job: fix the $30B mess Narasimhan left in 17 months.

So what happened there?

March 2023: Laxman Narasimhan becomes CEO.

On paper, he looked perfect. 19 years at McKinsey. PepsiCo executive across 100+ countries. Just turned around Reckitt (saved £2B, grew 8.6%).

The board gave him 6 months to train as a barista. He relocated from London to Seattle. He was all in.

His plan? "Triple Shot Reinvention With Two Pumps."

Yes, that was the actual name.

$600M in technology. 
Supply chain optimization. 
Data-driven decisions.
It looked smart. It sounded strategic.

But he brought the wrong playbook.

At Reckitt, success came from cost cutting and portfolio optimization.

At Starbucks, success comes from customer experience and baristas who know your name.

And he never asked customers why they stopped coming.

Mobile orders hit 31%. The coffeehouse where people loved to hangout for hours became a pickup counter they rushed through.

Sales dropped for the first time in 3 years. 
Then traffic down 6%. 
Then stock down 20%.

$30B in market value — gone.

August 13, 2024. Before market open.

Board announces Narasimhan out. Effective immediately.
No transition. Just out.

Stock soars 24% that day. 

Biggest gain in Starbucks history. 
$20B in value created by his departure.

Brian Niccol's first move? "Get back to what made us special."

Not more data. Not more technology. Customer experience.

He spent 6 years turning around Chipotle after food safety scandals. 

Stock up 773%. Margins from 17% to 26%.

But Chipotle took 3 years to turn around and Starbucks is 10x bigger: 41,000 stores across 80+ countries.

That's the CFO lesson:

You can spend $600M on technology and optimize every part of supply chain — but the wrong playbook costs billions. 

No amount of data replaces listening to your customers.

Can Brian Niccol pull off a turnaround 10x bigger than Chipotle — or will the board panic before year 3?

♻️ If this resonates, share it with your network.

For decades my childhood operating system ran me.

As the oldest of 6 kids, my parents mantra?

"If you do not have anything nice to say, don't say anything." 

Helped me earn the description from a Swiss Entrepreneur of the Year, 

"Bill Zeeb is the most positive person I have ever met."

Not useful when a critical word is needed, which is ever more often in today's chaotic world.

The good news is that this operating system can be upgraded.

Thank you to William A. (Bill) Adams and Robert (Bob) J. Anderson and Paul Crick  and many others for introducing me to The Leadership Circle Assessment to diagnose and see this and to Marshall Goldsmith and Frank Wagner and Brandon James Mergard - Marshall Goldsmith Coaching for helping me with a simple (never easy!) and highly time efficient system to reboot my new operating system.

At its best, Courageous Authenticity opens the door to trust, growth, and genuine connection. But when fear takes the lead, we self-protect, withdraw, or withhold what most needs to be said.

Can love be measured?

Can leadership effectiveness be measured?

Today I celebrate the 65+ million  leaders and stakeholders who have participated in perhaps the greatest experiment on leadership. Over 20+ years.  

Follow me if you want to learn more about the Harvard defined different levels of human development and latest research on how to grow your leadership faster with less pain and even some fun.

Thank you Vinay for this powerful graphic on the 3 measurable and trainable (like a muscle) stages of leadership effectiveness.

Scaling Leadership * Strengthening Individuals & Teams * Creating Sustainable Impact

Being a Chemical Engineer by training, before working with any instrument, it's important to me to understand the core premise upon which it is built, the research behind it, and evidence of connection to business performance. Here's what it is for Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) as I have come to understand it, and why today LCP is the only leadership 360 instrument I choose to work with. 

LCP's Core Premise

1. Structure Determines Performance.  

Deeper the roots, the better the tree withstands the storms.  A warehouse is built for storage and shipping, a home for living. Different structures, different performance.  Similarly, for us humans, our conscious is our structure, our operating system. Therefore, if we want to increase our effectiveness and create higher levels of performance, we must be restructured. As it's said, what got us here isn't going to get us there.

2. Humans grow, IF they grow, vertically through a series of stages. Think of these as stages of levels of maturation.   Per research, as leaders grow vertically, they become more effective. This matters - a LOT - as effectiveness is directly connected to business performance.

As can be seen in the graph below, as leaders move up from Reactive to Creative to Integral, which points to different stages of development, they become significantly more effective.

Where Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) comes in is that it helps leaders gain invaluable insights into the level they're operating from, and what their unlocking move is to grow further in their level of consciousness.  

In my own personal experience, and that of having worked with leaders at various levels and many industries, here are some of the changes I have observed that result from these shifts:

* Leaders become much more self-aware, which is important and serves as the foundation upon which they develop personal mastery.
* Leaders are able to take more perspective, see more options and choices, and reflect and contemplate on those choices.
* As a result of the above, leaders are then able to take wiser decisions and more effective actions, which ultimately leads to better business outcomes.

If you're a leader and you are committed to growing further in the coming year, I encourage you to learn more about LCP.  You can do that by visiting: https://lnkd.in/eTszRRFS.

Coaches Rising is a great podcast I recommend for anyone seeking more consciousness or self-awareness or leadership effectiveness.

Never be embarrassed to be an optimist.

The world will always have threats.

The question is: What do you see first?

People who believe they can succeed see opportunities where others see threats.

They aren’t naïve - they’re focused.

They aren’t ignoring reality - they’re choosing where to invest their energy.

Optimism is not denial.
Optimism is courage.

Life is good.

The Leadership Circle is 'A Universal Model of Leadership'which the Swiss have chosen as their favorite.  

Roche, Syngenta, Dectris, Optotune, Swisscom, Tillotts, Tocco and AXPO are a few of the successful Swiss organizations using this "Leadership MRI" to measure 27 leadership behavioral tendencies - - - on a 1 to 100 percentile scale leveraging a global database of 684,000 leaders and over 1,000,000,000 (that's one billion) observer answered questions.  

As a Lean Six Sigma data freak, I find even more powerful the available correlations and text comment research revealing correlations between these leadership tendencies and leadership effectiveness itself.

Game changing for me. And for the successful leaders I accompany.

Thank you Christian Hofstetter for sharing this example of the powerful Leadership Circle mat, which has helped me and thousands of other leaders to physically "step into" our leadership.

Step into?  What does this mean? 

1.Both  "reactive" tendencies (safety based, or 'play not to lose') which cancel out our leadership. 

2. And our "creative" tendencies (purpose based or growth mindset or  'play to win') which expand our leadership.

Starting in January I will be running a monthly meet-up in Zurich to share with leaders who do not yet know this model or who wish to learn more a multitude of specific examples of measurable individual and collective leadership growth.

The past years I have been privileged to spend 5 weeks with the Founder and Chief Knowledge Officer of "A Universal Model of Leadership,'  Robert (Bob) J. Anderson  and Ambassador - CEO  William A. (Bill) Adams.   As a European Ambassador for The Leadership Circle it is my turn to share this gift with the planet.

Repost or comment to receive advance notice and an invitation to join one of the monthly sessions starting in January.

We loved this powerful reflection from Christian Hofstetter as he kicked off a new cohort at Swisscom exploring the inner dynamics of leadership through the Leadership Circle Profile.

💡 Rather than adding tools to the toolkit, this program invites leaders to explore the stories, beliefs, and nervous system responses that shape their leadership—consciously or unconsciously.

As Christian puts it:
“Are you acting to avoid discomfort, or acting for what you want to create?”

The journey of transformation is personal, profound, and never linear. But with tools like the LCP, leaders gain a clear, grounded path to more conscious, creative leadership.

Ever notice that people tune out when you hit the slides—but lean in when you start a story?

Slides inform, but stories unite teams, shift mindsets, and drive action. Next time you present, try swapping bullet points for a narrative your audience can see themselves in.

How do you bring your big ideas to life—through slides, stories, or something else?

Share your best tip or story for making ideas stick. Your approach could inspire another leader today.

#Leadership #Storytelling #Communication #Influence #WayneBrown #Coaching4Companies

A giant orange billboard on a modern city office building displays the words, “Stop presenting slides. Start telling stories.” The image captures the importance of using narrative, not just data, to influence and inspire in leadership and business.

Innovation isn’t luck; it’s a practice.

What’s in your personal playbook for turning inspiration into real results? Mine is four steps:
Curate fresh inputs, block 30 minutes weekly for idea connections, test something small, and review monthly to lock in what works.

How do you keep your ideas from gathering dust? Got a favorite ritual, review, or “test kitchen” approach?

Share your process; let’s help each other make innovation an everyday habit, not a one-off spark.

When we stop blaming and start learning, every missed target becomes an upgrade.

What’s one lesson your team has learned from “failure”?

It’s easy to get stuck following your own assumptions—until you realize they’re holding your strategy back.

The most innovative leaders I know challenge everything, from ‘the way we’ve always done it’ to the stories they tell themselves about what’s possible.

When was the last time you tested an assumption and found a better way forward?

What’s your favorite trick for uncovering blind spots or asking disruptive questions?

Drop your insights below; your experience could help someone avoid the trap of “business as usual.”

Ever left a brainstorm feeling inspired but still unsure what to do next? Too often, great ideas get stuck in conversation and never see daylight.

A 15-minute ideation sprint can change that—fast.

With silent solo brainstorming, rapid sharing, and a quick dot vote, you get a democratically-chosen, concrete idea to test before the meeting ends. No wasted time, just real progress.

What’s your biggest frustration with traditional brainstorming sessions?

How do you make sure every voice gets heard and ideas actually get tested?
Share your tips or challenges—let’s make group creativity actually work.

Resilience isn’t about gritting your teeth and powering through every storm. It’s about designing a system that helps you bend without breaking and bounce back with insight, not just exhaustion.

Maybe it’s a weekly reset, a non-negotiable boundary, or a small ritual that recenters you.

What’s one practice that keeps you grounded when things get tough?
Share yours; your system might be exactly what another leader needs to hear today.

Ever hit that 3 PM wall where every decision feels impossible? Decision fatigue is real; especially after hours of Zooms, emails, and nonstop choices.

My secret? Dump everything on a page and use a simple Decision Matrix: High Impact vs. Low Effort. It takes just a few minutes, but the clarity and relief are real.

How do you beat decision overload when your brain feels maxed out?
Share your best 3 PM survival tactic in the comments—someone needs your tip today.

An illustration of a cluttered, overwhelming workspace transforming into a calm, organized desk. Red line art shows the flow from messy decision fatigue (scattered objects and notifications) to decision clarity (minimal, neat workspace), with the text: “Decision Fatigue → Decision Clarity. The 3 PM survival tool.” The visual highlights a method for regaining clarity and mental energy in the workday.

Without a shared story, even the best teams can lose momentum. But when everyone is clear on the “why” behind the work, focus and energy multiply.

Have you seen a clear narrative turn scattered projects into real progress?
How do you create, share, or reinforce your team’s “bigger story” so everyone can move with meaning and intent?

Drop your experience below—there’s real power in shaping and sharing the story together.

#Leadership #Purpose #Clarity #TeamEnergy #WayneBrown #Coaching4Companies

A Wayne Brown quote on a white square: “Without a clear story, energy dissipates. With it, every action has purpose and direction.” The background features a blurred cityscape, highlighting how narrative clarity brings focus and momentum to teams and organizations.

Most teams conduct post-mortems only after the damage is done. A 20-minute pre-mortem flips that script by asking, “If this project failed six months from now, what went wrong?” and then fixing those risks now.

It’s a simple way to turn healthy paranoia into better planning, more substantial alignment, and fewer nasty surprises.

Have you ever tried a pre-mortem or something similar? What questions helped you spot risks early?

Share your approach; your lesson could save someone else’s next big project.

Specs inform, but stories inspire. The moment our stakeholders not only
understood the plan—but could feel its impact—was when momentum truly began.

In your experience, what’s helped you win hearts as well as minds in a big project?

How do you translate complex details into something people remember, support, and act on?

Let’s swap our best tips below. Someone’s next green light depends on it.
