    During our previous webinar the live survey revealed a 95% gap between what people want, need and where most investment goes instead. It reflected perfectly the results those activities deliver and the reasons why engagement is plummeting as sharply as burnout is skyrocketing. If you want to avoid the same trap and make better decisions for your own business, this upcoming webinar might just be the best 57 minutes investment in October you don't have to spend money on, you can only save a fortune with it. "Busy" people won't make it, the ones who are committed to the future of their organisation, employees and growth will. Hopefully see you there! #leadershipdevelopment #futureofwork #humanresources #psychologicalsefty

    We hear it all the time: “Make a difference.” But what does that really mean in the workplace? For most, it’s more than ticking off tasks. It’s seeing visible proof of our efforts. Imagine donating to charity: Do you feel more motivated by seeing a child receiving food in real-time or by a distant promise? Most would choose the immediate impact because it shows trust and purpose in action. The question is, in your work, do you see how you’re making a difference? If not, are you just working for numbers on a screen? It’s time to get real about impact and transparency! Both for your motivation and your team’s. Tell me your thoughts below. #leadershipdevelopment #futureofwork #humanresources #psychologicalsefty

    Actions are the physical manifestation of decisions, words are often just the confusing packaging. Commitment is built on actions as a result of a series is decisions processed internally. If I decide to invest my time, money or energy in something, it means I value it more than what I don't invest in. That is going to determine what I am going to reap as a benefit and what I lose out on as a consequence. Considering the opportunity and anxiety cost of decisions is a practical way of developing accurate thinking that can significantly reduce internal panic. Its benefits are way beyond well-being. What we have notice after having done 100s of team assessments is that by optimising individual mindset, team dynamics show measurable and rapid improvement, too. #leadership #teams #futureofwork

    How Do You Decide If One of Your Team Members Is Disengaged?   What are some tell-tale behaviours? Missed deadlines, lack of participation, or that glazed-over look during meetings are the obvious ones. But sometimes what looks like disengagement could just be a cultural difference.   A few weeks ago, I was training a young woman who had just transferred to a new office in another European country for the same company. She was surprised by how often people were standing around the coffee machine, chatting. To her, it seemed like lack of engagement. But in this new environment, the coffee machine wasn’t just a place for small talk—it was where people connected, exchanged ideas and solved problems.   The real danger lies in making assumptions. If we don’t understand the values and communication needs of our colleagues, we risk misinterpreting their actions. In this case, what appeared to be disengagement was actually a sign of high engagement.   For example, some team members are motivated by short emails—“Write me the task in brief bullet points and I’ll let you know when it’s done.” Others need a human touch. They pick up the phone, chat through the project details and ask lots of questions before they can take the first step. If we don't recognize these different motivators, we might assume someone is disengaged when, in fact, they’re just not getting what they need to feel involved and valued.   So how do we keep culturally diverse teams engaged and motivated?   1. Celebrate Differences, Don’t Suppress Them  One of the quickest ways to disengage team members is to ignore their unique cultural perspectives. Encourage everyone to share how their background shapes their approach to work.   2. Tailor Communication Styles Adapt your communication to that of your colleagues to motivate them. A person who needs the big picture tends to get very lost when you send them bullet points.   3. Give Purpose to the Big Picture When teams are globally spread out, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the overall mission. Remind them regularly of the *why* behind their work. You might have one team member in Buenos Aires while the rest of you sit in Paris. Unless you link their tasks to the larger goal of how their input will help the project it can seem all vey worthless to them.   At the end of the day, assumptions can lead us to believe a team member is disengaged when they simply have different ways of working or communicating.   We use **ICQ Global** to measure team engagement. It gives us a “photograph” of the team, showing where individuals fall in four quadrants: high-performing, apathy, comfort zone, or anxiety zone. This snapshot helps us understand where the team stands on the growth zone, so we can take the right steps to boost engagement across the board.   How do you motivate your culturally diverse teams? Share your insights or funniest cross-cultural moments below! #culturalintelligence #motivation #growthzone

    Are you struggling to convey thoughts and concepts to people throughout your organization? Do you think your communication is crystal clear or dare I say “common sense”; yet, you are still not getting traction? Misalignment, misunderstanding, and miscommunication, can derail the best teams. My friend Csaba Toth wrote a book that deals with this very thing. 👇🏻

    A lot of people are passionate about psychological safety, inclusion and motivation, but only a small percentage of them are committed enough to equip themselves with up to date expertise and tools to optimise those invisible forces and make a real difference. They are Level 4 experts who can make things better by using internationally accredited, multi award-winning, data-driven approaches to provide their clients with the highest return on investment in a transparent and measurable way.

    Most people talk about AI and psychological safety like teenagers talk about sex. They claim they are outstanding and very experienced and there is not much more they could learn about the topic. That is usually extremely far from reality, although it is much easier to forgive the unfounded confidence in kids than it is to accept the incompetency of organizations' inability to create an inclusive culture where people thrive and others strive to join. This Forbes article is highlights the bright and dark side of AI and ways to create synergy with it. #AI #leadership #futureofwork #forbescoachescouncil https://lnkd.in/e-NudTgX
