In 2026, leadership is happening in a faster, noisier, more complex world, but one thing hasn’t changed:

We still need to be heard.

This updated intro to a guide originally written in 2007 explores why employee surveys still matter. Used well, they can do more than gather feedback they can inform insight, support alignment, focus action, and demonstrate results.

Worth a read for anyone leading teams, shaping culture, or working to turn employee feedback into results.

Yard cleanup complete. Time for a book and the fire.

What kind of legacy builds not just a company, but a way of leading?

My latest post tells the story of Tudor Williams — from wartime England to rural Saskatchewan to Syncrude and, ultimately, the founding vision behind TWI.

Long before employee engagement and internal communication became common language, he was already doing the work: listening carefully, involving people, and helping organizations build cultures where change could take root.

At the heart of his work was a simple but powerful belief: research is not just about measurement; it is about a relationship. It gives people a voice, invites participation, and helps leaders make wiser, more human decisions.

This piece is both personal and foundational. It reflects on the values that shaped Tudor’s life and the legacy that continues to guide TWI today.

In 2025, organizations face unprecedented challenges shaped by political uncertainty, technological advancements, regulatory pressures, and talent scarcity.

The essence of leadership lies in bridging the gap between current realities and the potential for a thriving, purpose-driven future.

The rise in cynicism, disengagement, and distrust among employees and consumers necessitates a more nuanced approach to leadership—balancing optimism with reality and fostering resilience in the face of adversity.
