Overcoming Challenges in Fostering a Learning Culture. Creating a learning culture within an organization is no small feat. Despite the clear benefits, many organizations need help to embed continuous learning into their DNA. As Amy Edmondson notes in "Teaming: How Organizations Learn, Innovate, and Compete in the Knowledge Economy" (2012), "Learning is essential for navigating uncertainty and driving innovation." Here are some common challenges and practical tips to overcome them: - Lack of Leadership Support: Leaders must champion learning initiatives. With their buy-in, efforts to foster a learning culture can continue. Tip: Encourage leaders to lead by example and participate in learning activities. - Time Constraints: Employees often feel they need more time for learning amid their regular duties. Tip: Allocate dedicated time for learning within work hours to emphasize its importance. - Insufficient Resources: Limited access to learning resources can hinder the development of a learning culture. Tip: Invest in various learning platforms and tools to provide diverse learning opportunities. - Resistance to Change: Employees may resist new learning initiatives because they are comfortable with the status quo. Tip: Communicate the benefits of learning and provide support to ease the transition. - Lack of Relevance: To avoid disengagement, learning programs need to be aligned with employees' roles and career goals. Tip: Tailor learning programs to meet employees' specific needs and aspirations. - Inconsistent Implementation: Inconsistent application of learning initiatives across the organization can lead to mixed results. Tip: Develop a clear, consistent strategy for implementing learning initiatives across the organization. As Josh Bersin highlights in "The Future of Work: 2021 Trends" (2021), "Organizations that prioritize learning are better equipped to handle change and drive innovation." By addressing these challenges head-on, you can create a robust learning culture that fosters growth and adaptability.

VUCA - Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity och Ambiguity. Sometimes it's nice to see what insight from writing a paper 2021 is still what people are realizing today, in how to cope in dynamic and changing world. Time well spent; "Besides cross-training, the employee's responsibility for development is brought forward by Raghuramapatruni and Kosuri (2017). Their idea is to put the employee more responsible for their own development. Making employees in charge of their training helps create bigger selfawareness and be better equipped to handle a VUCA world. This suggestion goes hand in hand with the ideas mentioned earlier in the paper: delegation and giving more responsibility to employees will increase motivation from the intrinsic rewards more than the extrinsic. Thus, delegating and giving the employees the responsibility also work as an intrinsic reward and increase motivation. Perhaps the challenge is finding ways that work for everyone and just not for specific groups. Treating employees as rational beings will make them act more responsible instead of treating them as machines with no autonomy and thinking."

So as if the week of BMI Executive Institute anniversary, Board meetings, VIP dinners and extra-curricular activities is not enough, I started the week with a Negotiation Skills course by the brilliant Dr. Keld Jensen (DBA). As Keld was sharing tips and tricks on different negotiation techniques, one was related to asking something and as soon as counterpart agrees, asking more, and then some more again and so on. Salami as they call it as your initial offer is sliced like salami. This reminded me of old folk story my dad used to tell me when I was 5-6 yo. It's about a peasant's daughter and the lords daughter: as the night came, the devil came to the peasant's daughter and asked her out to dance. "But I have no shoes!" - she said. The devil brought the most beautiful shoes. "But I have no dress!" - she continued. The devil went and came back with the most amazing dress. And she continued with requests until the dawn came, devil had to go back to the underworld and the girl was left with an amazing outfit. Lord's daughter, seeing that, got jealous. So the next night devil comes to the lord's daughter with the same request. "But I have no shoes, no dress, no jewelry...!" - she exclaimed. The devil brought it all at once and danced her to death till the morning. Hence, you can negotiate even with the devil if you're smart about it! Another thing I really took out of this session was smart openness. Let's be honest - at most negotiation tables, it's not the devil in front of you, but a potential partner, client or buyer and in the end of the day you're sitting at the table because both sides are hoping they can reach the agreement. Hence, being open not only about what you want, but also why it's important to you might lead to better solutions for both. One of the simulations became a perfect example of how damaging it might be to forget that. Thanks, Keld, for great two days of learning and I truly hope more of BMI community can learn to become sharper in the way they negotiate.

As an HR person I like to follow various research and statistics on changes in economy, society, labor market, longevity and more, and see what trends I have to prepare for when it comes to #futureofwork This report is very interesting for person like me, to see how my home country, Iceland, is doing in comparison to other European countries. Some pleasantly surprising and not so pleasant numbers in the report... This report is also very interesting for me as the Head of HR at #EFTA, to see various numbers from the countries we operate in and the countries we most hire talent from. Numbers like graduates from various fields of study, employment rate, gender pay gap, cost of living, living conditions, digital usage, investment in research and development and more. Therefore I share this brand new report from #Eurostat and hope you enjoy it as much as I do. #HRdataanalytics #futuretrends

CLIENT STORY:  From Hard Times to Better Times 🌱 In January, a client came to me feeling stuck and facing significant challenges in his romantic relationship. Fast forward 10 months, and he shared this today in our final session: "You’ve gotten me through hard times to better times which was a goal in the beginning of the year. I’ve learned a lot." These were some of his learnings: - learn coping mechanisms to navigate overthinking during difficult moments - reach understanding of his reaction patterns in a relationship and learn to connect from a conscious response instead - connect with himself so he can be an even better partner in a relationship - gained tools to navigate life better This journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when we choose to invest in ourselves and create space for self-connection. When we connect with ourselves, we also can change relationships with others. It’s been inspiring to witness his dedication, and I’m grateful to have supported him, and his relationship has grown stronger than ever - both with himself and his partner. THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO! 😍 If you’re navigating a difficult time in your life and are ready to create meaningful change, let’s connect. 💫 Book your connection call with me here: https://lnkd.in/dGDdqg9n #ClientStory #ChangeAndTransitions #CoachingJourney

Leading the Tribe: How I Managed 30+ Team Players (and Thrived!) I thought to share as this might help one or two persons here on LinkedIn. Managing a large team can be a challenge. You encounter diverse work styles, personalities, and goals. But with the right approach, it can be incredibly rewarding! Here are some key strategies I used to effectively lead a team of 30+ people: - Empathy & Emotional Intelligence: Understanding your team members' motivations and challenges fosters trust and a positive work environment. - Strengths-Based Management: I struggles with this initially but later found my footings. It's best to identify each team member's strengths and assign tasks accordingly. This boosts engagement and productivity. - Clear Communication: Set expectations, provide regular feedback, and keep everyone informed. Transparent communication builds trust and reduces confusion. (Communication was a very hard thing for me starting out, as a quiet and reserved person but I learnt on the job and learnt well). By focusing on these aspects, I was able to create a high-performing team that thrived despite its size and diverse personalities. What are other systems you used to excel? #leadership #peoplemanagement #teameffectiveness

Ambassadorship: The Neglected Element of X-Teams 🚨 Henrik Bresman and I have now created hundreds, if not thousands, of x-teams. Why? Because these externally active dynamos tackle complex challenges. While team members usually jump into external sensemaking and task coordination, one crucial element is often overlooked: ambassadorship. Somehow, it is much harder for teams to reach up in the organization to get input from senior leaders. Why is ambassadorship so crucial? When top managers have early involvement in an idea, they're far more committed to its success. Ambassadorship creates vital alignment between strategy setters and implementers. Too many x-teams neglect ambassadorship because they think: ⭕ It's just "managing upward" politics ⭕ The product should speak for itself ⭕ Senior execs will hijack their vision But comprehensive ambassadorship, combined with strong sensemaking and coordination, significantly boosts an x-team's chances of thriving. Team leaders can take these simple steps to bring ambassadorship back into the fold: ✅ Have regular meetings with senior leaders to get input and support ✅ Send periodic updates to maintain communication ✅ Have senior leaders who help you to secure buy-in from their peers ✅ Encourage team members to spread the word When you bring the rest of the organization along from the start, you'll achieve powerful alignment. The result? Your x-team is far more likely to deliver lasting impact. Are you prioritizing ambassadorship in your x-team? Share your experiences below! If you’re interested in learning more about x-teams, you can get more information about the book, articles, and interactive simulation by going to the xLEAD website: https://www.xlead.co #leaders #leadershipdevelopment #teammanagement #businessmanagement

In the previous articles of the Human Performance Column, Green-Jakobsen A/S discussed the difference between Work as Imagined and Work as Done. They touched upon three key principles that can help improve performance: the context-dependence of human performance, the acknowledgement that performance transcends individual efforts, and the necessity of reviews, particularly from a team perspective. 🔎 Explore the info: https://shorturl.at/zaPIF #safety #shipping
