Clearfield CEO Cheri Beranek writes, “Like a photographer with only one lens, many leaders are still considering the workplace from their own perspective, but the incoming workforce grew up with an entirely different worldview,” in this Entrepreneur Media article.

"I opened this business to make money, plain and simple." ☝ If this is your perspective, then I have a FREE secret I will share with you.... Well ....OK...it's NOT really a secret. Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Forbes, Money, and many others have documented the value of this plan for years so it's not a new concept. Yet so many leaders disregard the data, the science, the facts, and plod on shamelessly ignoring them. It's not this scarred up hockey brain's opinion. Look it up. Do the research. So back to the original point. You're in business to make money. So.... Pour into your people. Make them a priority. Create safe spaces to work in where they can learn, grow, fail forward, upskill, reskill, grow and thrive at their own pace.

#um ...let's be real - ageism is rampant in the business world. Are there that many Mick Jagger types at the computer ... in the office....not. Corporations would rather chase the shiny veneer of youth than recognise the true value in seasoned experience and hard-won wisdom. It's a deeply flawed and myopic perspective - one that businesses do so at their own peril. Because the truth is, experienced professionals possess an arsenal of capabilities that younger counterparts simply can't match. Leveraging that expertise is key to navigating the complex challenges of today's rapidly evolving marketplace. So how do seasoned leaders fight back against this insidious ageism? The answer is to reframe the narrative and assert your enduring value. -Showcase your strategic acumen, your crisis management skills, your institutional knowledge. - Seamlessly adapt to new technologies and market shifts. - Mentor the next generation and share the wisdom you've cultivated over decades in the trenches. The future belongs to those who refuse to be defined by their age. Defy the naysayers, keep proving your worth, and make them recognize that your talent isn't expired – it's aged to perfection. #ageism #age #workforce #hr #policy #rollingstones #mickjagger https://lnkd.in/esnXfJf5

Serial Entrepreneur & Top Brand Architect Behind Lime Truck, Snibbs, & Hatch | Empowering the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
Is it sustainable to give employees more? Yes, it absolutely is, even though the market often thinks otherwise. Running three businesses, I’ve had my fair share of employee challenges —from employees wanting to quit, to asking for raises, to not feeling respected. And I’m sure this isn’t just specific to me; we all experience these challenges whether from an employee or boss standpoint. But let me tell you how we tackle these challenges: 1. We take a good, hard look at every employee. Can we help them grow? Can we bump up their pay? If not, what needs to improve? 2. We open up conversations. It's not just about what the company needs, but what our people need to thrive. 3. We find that sweet spot between improving everyone's situation and keeping the company successful. It's a balancing act, but it's doable. It all boils down to improving everyone's quality of life. Sure, money talks (let’s be real, it’s a big part of having a good quality of life), but it’s also about creating a space where people feel valued, respected, and have room to grow. Because, hey, we’re all human. We want to feel valued and have a shot at a better quality of life. And if we can create that in our workplaces, that’s when the magic happens. When employees feel genuinely cared for, they're more likely to invest their energy back into the company. I have to be honest, this will take a lot of work, creativity, and a bit of financial juggling. But in the long run? It's worth it. Happy employees are productive employees, and that's good for everyone's bottom line. What do you think? 💬 If you're running a business, how are you tackling these challenges? And if you're an employee, what do you wish your employer understood? #Culture #Job #Entrepreneurship #Business #Management

In the heart of the corporate world, there was a CEO named Emma. For years, Emma had led her company through both prosperous times and challenging trials. The business had weathered economic downturns, internal crises, and fierce competition, but it had recently hit a breaking point. Sales were plummeting, key employees were leaving, and the company's very existence was in jeopardy. One fateful night, as Emma was sitting alone in her dimly lit office, she found herself surrounded by stacks of overdue bills and resignation letters. It was a stark reminder of the harsh reality she faced. Emma had faced adversity before, but this time, the magnitude of the situation demanded a different approach. Instead of seeking immediate solutions, Emma decided to spend the night reflecting on the company's journey. She revisited the business's core values, its mission, and the passion that had ignited its creation. In the solitude of her office, she realized that amidst the chaos, she had lost sight of her true purpose – to provide value and make a positive impact. The next morning, instead of returning to the usual hustle and bustle, Emma called a meeting with her remaining loyal employees. She candidly shared her doubts, fears, and hopes for the company. It was a moment of vulnerability and authenticity that had been absent for far too long. With renewed clarity, Emma and the team embarked on a mission to reinvent the business. They engaged in open dialogue with customers, reevaluated their product offerings, and implemented cost-saving measures. It was a challenging journey, marked by uncertainty and sacrifice, but it was driven by a newfound awareness of their strengths and weaknesses. Slowly, the tide began to turn. Sales started to climb, and employee morale improved. The company's reinvented products resonated with customers, and its reputation began to recover. What was once a sinking ship was now on the path to triumph. Emma had awakened to the true essence of business leadership – the ability to reflect, adapt, and lead with authenticity. Her journey from the brink of failure to renewed success showed that in times of hardship, it was not just about weathering the storm, but also about gaining a deeper awareness of one's purpose and values to emerge stronger than ever before.

In the grand theater of corporate dramaturgy, the stage is being set for an act none of us queued up to see: the Great Workforce Cull of 2023. Picture it: employees milling about like unsuspecting cast members at a swanky masquerade ball, unaware that midnight is about to strike. Behind those ornate masks, uncertainty looms larger than life. The layoff curtain call is signaled to begin in mere weeks and wrap up neatly by year's end, leaving us to question if the Corporate Time-Keeper has synchronized his watch with Doomsday. ### 🎭 Highlights 🎭 - **The Timeline:** Job cuts are penciled in quicker than a corporate lawyer booking golf tee times. - **The Conclusion:** Expected to be completed faster than you can say office farewell party. For those caught in this tragicomedy, life might feel like it's teetering on the abyss. Today’s desk warrior may very well become tomorrow's displaced hero. The cubicles, once bustling like trader pits, could turn hauntingly silent. 🔮 **Prediction Corner** 🔮 - Like brightly colored dominoes in grim succession, expect this chain reaction to spark soul-searching, rewiring, and yes, a sprinkling of entrepreneurial enlightenment. - New paths will be carved out of necessity, pushing some into previously unexplored vocational jungles. Anyone who's navigated the choppy waters of late-stage capitalism knows this instinctively. The talent-burning bonfire often rekindles with phoenixes—not every burned out looks bleak under the ashes. We have progeny's proof: the startups—a new breed risen from redundant ages, a heroic adaptation to turbulent seas. ### 🌱 Growth in Chaos 🌱 1. The disassembled cogs of today's machine often birth the innovators of tomorrow. 2. Surviving this creative destruction means harnessing disruption—not hiding from it. 3. Ultimately, Times of Corporate Cull are a crucible for forging resilience, adaptability, and inexhaustible grit. Yet let's not kid ourselves. For the freshly coined jobless, poetic metaphors frequently pale in front of a pressing stack of bills. The necessity for immediate changes can rust the silver linings just out of reach, managing to be both stark and fiercely motivational. Final word? Navigating amidst such tumultuous seas with a blend of courage, adaptability, and resilience might just turn this looming tragedy into a fresh start we didn’t see coming—but desperately needed. ## https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV ### #Layoffs2023 #CorporateChanges #FutureOfWork #Adaptability #Resilience #WorkplaceDynamics

Disengaged Employees - There is a Remedy In their April 10th newsletter, Gallup announced that U.S. Engagement Hits 11-Year Low. This is not good news for the economy nor employers. And Employees are struggling. There is an antidote. When we engage in a conversation about our Destiny, we gain confidence, we lean in to caring more about our life, and our work. Employees have invested in this conversation. Employers have invested in their employees to be in this conversation. The gain is incremental and long lasting. #womeninfinance #career #CEO #hr #change #idealpresence #bridgethegap
