🔐 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 (𝐊𝐁𝐈𝐬)might be the true measurement and key to success when driving transformation. New research by the EY and Saïd Business School, University of Oxford found that: 👉 75% of leaders and workers believe that emotional support is often missed during planning and executing a major transformation. 👉 72% of leaders admit they find it difficult to spot warning signals due to the pressure to “get to green” 👉 32% of transformation team members were concerned that they would not be taken seriously if they flagged an issue to leadership. It’s time to get this right. How are you measuring your KBIs? #leadershipbehaviors #transformation #scaling https://lnkd.in/eGer6vMg

🤯 We couldn’t agree more with scaling expert Rob Bier about the confusion and hype between ‘𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠’ and ‘𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠’. Growing means — more revenue, customers, staff etc. Scaling means 'growing something while preserving its essential qualities'. With a lack of funding, technology hype curves, and demands of employees, companies need to learn to scale in a much more cost-effective and sustainable manner. “𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴, 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤-𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴” and of course, be supported by the right initiatives at the right time.

When we support companies to scale and assess their organizational readiness, we help them adopt a strengths-based approach to unlock individual strengths for greater performance and then come together in teams, to interlock the power of strengths to mitigate weaknesses.  Here’s a team favorite from our app-guided coaching 👇 In one of your next team meetings, introduce a ‘Strengths Share’ activity to encourage openness and mutual understanding. Here are questions you can ask for your first ‘Strengths Share’: 🔹 "What tasks or activities at work energize you the most?" 🔹 "What strengths do you see in your colleagues that contribute to our team’s success?" 🔹 "How can we better leverage each other’s strengths to enhance our teamwork?" 🔹 "Can we identify any projects or tasks where our combined strengths could be maximized?" 🔹 “How can we ensure that each team member's strengths are recognized and valued within our team culture?” What to learn more about how your company or team wants to become ready to scale smartly? Send us a message and we’re happy to share more. #LeaderLabs #LeadershipDevelopment #StrengthsShare #OrganizationalReadiness

Many of us at Leader Labs have held various HR and L&D roles ourselves and we want to share this contentious article rapidly drawing both criticism and respect.  We partner with many amazing HR & L&D & Talent practitioners seeking innovative ways to support and keep their leaders and teams engaged, thriving, and productive.  In support of all of you, here’s our view as to what still needs to be done to go from HR sucks to HR rocks: 1️⃣ Showcase your clear strategy and wins(!) how people (employees and customers) are contributing to the success of the business. 2️⃣ Focus on value creation for the business - align everything to supporting the business goals and measure often - think and act like a product expert and if you don’t know how, go seek them out and get their help. 3️⃣ Say “I disagree” more often than not when it comes to major decisions impacting the people and back it up with a solution. 4️⃣ Network and be visible - sit with other teams, hold regular check-ins (walking meetings if you can) up, across, and down the organization - you’ll have more of the pulse as to what’s really going on and can build trust as you in the business with everyone. 👉 Agree? Disagree? What else to add? https://lnkd.in/edkPmBtx #hr #hrsucks #peopleandculture #learninganddevelopment #chro #hrdirector #headofhr #headofpeople
