NEW #podcast episode on Leadership Reimagined featuring Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM! "'THINK': How a Five-Letter Word Sustained a 104-Year-Old Tech Giant" Join us as Arvind shares his insights on how a single word, “Think,” has sustained IBM for over 100 years and continues to drive the company’s innovation today. When it comes to leadership, Arvind emphasizes the importance of key traits: “Curiosity, grit, and followership, the hallmarks of modern leadership. I look for that, and then I know they are going to be a great fit. At the end of the day, you’ve got to help support and inspire employees to do what they do best. Not everybody has all the skills that you would ever want, but if you can surround them with people who can complement them, then the team can win.” Arvind also notes: “Will AI displace people? I don’t think so. Will AI displace people who don’t use AI? Probably.” With over 30 years at IBM, Arvind has led the company through significant transformations in AI, hybrid cloud, and quantum computing. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation where Arvind shares his vision for the future of technology, growth, and innovation.

NEW #podcast episode on Leadership Reimagined featuring Cathy Engelbert, Commissioner of the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association)! "Meet the New WNBA: How One Woman is Changing the Game" Join us as Cathy returns and shares with Janice the strides the WNBA has made over the past four years and the three pillars she established to guide decision-making: players first, stakeholder success, and fan engagement. Cathy says: "We are witnessing the confluence of momentum, a moment we've never seen before with women's sports, with the WNBA right at the center." The progress made is astounding.

What’s driving you to create? What’s driving you to go after the next great thing? It’s the love of the work.

Corporate Culture & Talent: Navigating the New Norms As seen in Hunt Scanlon Media's recently released Corporate Culture Newsletter, the keys to unlocking a successful corporate #culture are predicated upon how leaders in organizations perceive culture as a top priority “To effectively evolve their culture for the future, companies must ensure that cultural change initiatives are supported and actively promoted from the highest levels of #leadership,” said Janice Ellig, CEO and Barbara Stahley, managing director of Ellig Group. “A key strategy involves fostering a culture of inclusive communication, where the commitment to openness and dialogue starts with the CEO and senior leaders. By creating a questioning environment, these leaders not only encourage but also model the behavior of open questioning and engagement without fear of reprisal. This approach allows for a more dynamic exchange of ideas, promotes transparency, and builds #trust throughout the organization.” Read more >> https://lnkd.in/eck_TgF
