The Cost of Nightmare Leadership
Jason, Freddy, Chucky… from horror movies to ghost stories around a campfire, some people like the thrill of a good fright. A few of us have paid real money to watch a psychopathic, knife-wielding doll terrorize full-sized adult people. I’m not saying who, cough cough, but some of us have. Still, we aren’t so thrilled […]
Is Your Management Style Driving People Away?
It’s tough out there. People are reprioritizing what they want at work and leaving jobs that aren’t meeting those needs.

We hear, more often […]
The Great Motivation: Are you doing these 6 things to engage your team in 2022?
It’s the year of the “greats” … the great resignation, the great reset, the great reshuffle, the great reprioritization, the great share, the great mental breakdown. I may have made that last one up.

Leveraging Personality Type to Build Effective Teams
A coworker of mine, we’ll call her Tonya (because that’s her name) always says, “Teamwork makes the dream work,” a phrase originally coined by John C. Maxwell in his book by the same name. We all expect her to say it any time one member of our team helps out another. Nothing beats that feeling […]
Omnia CEO Spotlight: Heather Caswell on Building a Winning Team
It started around a dining room table. Three people, a dictionary, a thesaurus, and four other assessments. The trio wanted to make sure their instrument was different. And as a member of Omnia’s current team, I’m grateful they did. Without that first idea, that first meeting of the minds to make something unique, I wouldn’t […]
Benchmarking: All you need to know
Remember when you were a kid, and your little sister (or brother) decided it would be fun to spend the day doing everything you did with relentless commitment. All. Day. Long. “Mom!
