Two Resources Leaders Must Harness to Thrive in 2026: Peers and AI

Leo BottaryLeo BottaryGlobal CEO Forum
Many leadership discussions still focus on familiar topics: strategy, talent, technology, and execution. However, two of the most powerful resources available to leaders today remain consistently underutilized—not because they are rare, but because they are misunderstood. The first already exists within every organization: the influence of peers. Your employees act as the...

Why Systems Last and Programs Disappear

Leo BottaryLeo BottaryC-Suite Perspective
Organizations don’t suffer from a lack of initiatives. They suffer from an excess of them.  New programs aimed at boosting engagement, collaboration, learning, accountability, or performance are introduced all too often. Many are well-meaning and thoughtfully planned. However, over time, most fade away. They add another layer to an already busy environment, becoming just one more...

The Productivity Bridge: Why Results Permit Groups & Teams to Expect More

Leo BottaryLeo BottaryExecutive Briefing
For years, Harvard Business School Professor and best-selling author Amy Edmondson’s research on psychological safety has given leaders a powerful lens for understanding team performance. Edmondson’s well-known 2×2 model, which shows psychological safety and accountability not as opposing forces, but as necessary partners, clearly illustrates where high performance lives: the Learning Zone. She characterizes it...

Great Training Inspires. Great Systems Transcend

Leo BottaryLeo BottaryCEO Insider
There’s something universally energizing about attending an impressive workshop or team-building session. The room feels alive. People lean forward, contribute more openly, and scribble notes purposefully. Ideas burst like fireworks, friendships ignite, and trust deepens. For a moment, everyone sees what could be. Three weeks later, the notebooks gathering dust are the only remaining proof that anything happened. The team remembers their experience fondly, maybe even with a breakthrough...

What Prevents Us from Being Better Collaborators?

Leo BottaryLeo BottaryCEO Insider
We celebrate collaboration in theory. We put it on posters, print it in value statements, applaud it in leadership speeches, and promise it in strategic plans. Yet the lived experience is often quite different. Even in organizations filled with smart, well-intentioned people, collaboration too often gives way to competing priorities, individual...

Why Your Brain On Art Matters to CEOs

Leo BottaryLeo BottarySpecial Reports
In the race to lead companies, build teams, and outperform competitors, we spend extraordinary time optimizing processes, tightening systems, and measuring output. It’s no surprise, then, that creative pursuits (writing, painting, designing, podcasting, even something as simple as sketching on a whiteboard) are often placed in a category we mentally label 'optional'. Something for “when things...

Values and Behaviors That Empower CEO Forums to Transcend

Leo BottaryLeo BottaryCEO Insider
In a world where leaders are pressed for time, overloaded with information, and often isolated at the top, the CEO Forum remains one of the few places where they can think clearly, speak honestly, and grow intentionally. The world’s highest-performing CEO Forums don’t succeed by accident. They thrive because their members operate from a deeply shared set...
