Connex Leadership Networks ’s Post

Two Cities: One Global Conversation On October 9th, we’re bringing together global enterprise leaders for a powerful, dual-city event in London and New York City for our first Blend member global conversation: “Mind The Gap- Bridging the Generational Divide” We will discuss how to retain and engage talent by balancing control and realistic promises while navigating the challenges of managing impatience and ambition. We’ll also explore the differing expectations between generations and uncover the unique benefits each approach brings to the workplace. Whether you join us in person in London or NYC or virtually from across the globe, this dynamic conversation will illuminate the commonalities and uniqueness within our global community of leaders. Harnessing the cognitive diversity within our global community is a profound force. It enables us to tap into a rich cross-functional network of enterprise leaders to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and collaboratively shape the future of leadership. We look forward to rolling out more community-wide conversations in 2025 so we can continue to collaborate in a truly globalized way. Step into our next global conversation and shape the future of leadership: Blend #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #innovation

Today is Small Business Day, and it feels like a most appropriate time to share this stat… 🎯 82.1% of a company's success and overall business performance can be attributed to the mental state and wellbeing of its leaders. Or, when we consider that another way… 🧠 Your mental state may be impacting your business success in ways you aren’t even aware. For better OR for worse… Back in March I conducted a survey to shed some light on the inner state of Ireland’s C-Suite. I surveyed over 100 Irish Business Leaders across 44 industries on Mindset, levels of stress and mental resilience to show the impact on Leadership Performance, happiness, and ultimately Business Success. This was just one of the findings that was uncovered.

These simple yet powerful actions will help you build the foundation of a strong community by building strong relationships and fostering a sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging among colleagues. Here's how you can start building a community of leaders at an individual level: 👉 Commit to Being a Community Builder: Are you focusing on self-interests or wasting energy on office politics? Commit to being a community builder by fostering trust and collaboration. 👉 Develop a One-Company Mindset: Think beyond your team or department. When leaders sacrifice time and resources to help colleagues, it can shift the entire company's mindset. 👉 Celebrate Successes: Embrace the victories of peers and colleagues. A one-company mindset means your colleague's success is also your success. 👉 Cultivate Credibility and Trust: Work tirelessly to build strong credibility and trust with your colleagues. Your actions will lay the foundation for a trusted and credible leadership community. 🔗 Ready to dive deeper?

👉 Human Leadership matters and is key to effective, future-ready organizations. Gartner defines Human Leadership as: ➡ AUTHENTIC: Acting with purpose and enable true self-expression, for both themselves and their teams. + ➡ EMPATHETIC: Show genuine care, respect and concern for employees’ well-being. + ➡ ADAPTIVE: Enable flexibility and support that fit team members’ unique needs. When formal leaders can leverage Human Leadership, the organization benefits. And, it's easier said than done and requires a combination of meaningful development and systems to support deliberate practices that nurture these components. This is what we specialize in - developing, human, effective, future-ready leaders and workplace cultures. If your organization could benefit from a leadership or culture tune-up, we'd love to talk to you! #courageousleadership #leadership #rehumanizingworkplaces

The 8 Essentials identified in our book will change your life and transform your leadership. It’s the leader, always the leader.

Each of us makes approximately 35,000 decisions each day. That means our influence as a leader depends greatly on others’ responses to our decisions. If you want to make the most of these 35,000 daily decisions, check out “Don’t Wait for Someone Else to Fix It,” by think2perform CEO Doug Lennick and Chuck Wachendorfer, former t2p president of distribution, and executive coach. They discuss obstacles to wise decisions and lay out the four Rs of decision-making: recognize, reflect, reframe and respond.

🌟The Human Side of Leadership🌟 Today, I want to shine a light on an essential aspect of leadership: corporate leaders are human too. They navigate significant stress and a variety of leadership styles every day. As directors, it’s our responsibility to comply with leadership requests while also protecting our teams. However, it’s crucial to approach this responsibility with a level-headed perspective. Emotions can sometimes cloud our judgment, which is why I believe it’s important to have clear phrases in our toolkit for defending and supporting our teams: 1️⃣ "Our team has consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability, achieving significant milestones despite challenges." 2️⃣ "It’s vital to acknowledge the hard work and dedication our team has put into this project, which has led to tangible results." 3️⃣ "The diverse strengths of our team members drive innovative solutions, and their collaborative efforts truly deserve recognition." Let’s continue fostering a culture of support and understanding within our organizations. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments! 💬 #Leadership #TeamSupport #CorporateCulture #EmotionalIntelligence
