Cultivate Advisors’ Post

This is a really insightful article in IMD that I’d recommend you check out on the #leadership skills which today’s leaders need in order to succeed.    As entrepreneurial leaders, especially those leading rapidly growing remote teams, our ability to adapt and innovate - not just the product, but team culture, business models, and operational processes - is key to our success.   Here are a few takeaways that stood out to me from the piece:   Emotional intelligence - For #entrepreneurs, understanding and managing our emotions, and our ability to coach our team to do the same, can make or break our ventures. In a remote setting, this means being even more aware and intentional about fostering a supportive virtual environment.   Adaptability - The entrepreneurial journey is full of twists and turns as well as successes and lessons learned. Our ability to pivot and adjust strategies quickly in response to new challenges and learning from mistakes is crucial. Embracing change and fostering a culture of innovation are important drivers of sustainable growth.   Visionary thinking - It’s important to understand the industry and competitive landscape, and then to develop and share a compelling vision with our teams. Helping teams focus on vision while still making progress on the day-to-day needs of running a start-up is essential for achieving our long-term goals and navigating through the startup chaos. Communicating this vision effectively, not just with in-person teammates but with our remote team members, is key to keeping everyone motivated and on track.   Empathy and inclusion - Many articles have been written about how a diverse and inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued can lead to greater collaboration and creativity… it’s been written about so widely, because it’s true.   Continuous learning - The entrepreneurial journey is a continuous learning curve. Creating a culture that rewards new knowledge and learning from mistakes can become a strategic advantage.   This article covered a number of important traits which entrepreneurial leader should possess.   If you believe that there are other traits which a leader must have in order to succeed, let me know in the Comments section below!   #entrepreneurship #thoughtleadership #leadershipdevelopment

Entrepreneurial Leadership and Entrepreneurial HR – Delivering Success The current dynamic world is increasingly demanding for leaders, and it's becoming clear that those who develop an entrepreneurial mindset to navigate this are more successful. That applies to all leaders no matter where in the organisation. To enable that development to take place HR must become more entrepreneurial itself. Our event on July 9th at UCL School of Management explores how we can build Entrepreneurial Leaders supported by Entrepreneurial HR to Accelerate Success, the first event on this topic. We have leading experts contributing, Anthony Klotz, Perry Timms, Davide Ravasi, Tapio Peltonen, Andreas List, Harveen Chugh plus some of my insights having worked on Entrepreneurial Leadership and helping HR be more entrepreneurial for over 20 years. Anthony, the creator of the Great Resignation concept, will share his insights on the dynamics and tensions around developing more entrepreneurial approaches. Tapio will give insights from his EEX Oy project creating Advisory Boards of corporate leaders to help startups scale and which has had significant benefits for all involved. Then Andreas, currently leading a transformation in Robert Bosch for 240,000 employees, will share his experience of how working on an Advisory Board for a year had a transformative impact on his approach as a leader and senior HR professional. We will also have a panel discussion with our great audience of senior leaders, with some of HRs Most Influential Thinkers and Practitioners amongst them. Please join us to discuss then network and experience the amazing views from the 50th floor of One Canada Square in Canary Wharf, see image.

Powerful Business Lesson by Richard Branson My company teaches that leadership starts from the bottom, not the top. Managers are trained to prioritize the needs of front-line employees because they are the closest to the customer. So, what’s a simple approach to ensuring this bottom-up equation works? We teach three underlying principles that will get the best out of your employees so that the customer experience is off-the-charts: Help employees feel connected at work Research continues to explore and validate the critical link between employee connectedness and engagement. What does it mean for employees to feel a connection in the workplace? You connect them to the company’s mission, values, and leadership vision You connect them to their co-workers and managers through authentic relationships You connect them to their work so they feel like they’re making a positive impact on the company’s goals You connect them to their aspirations — that they’re growing and developing in ways that mean something to them This intrinsic motivation stems from their passion that comes from within, from their hearts. Branson says, “With you and your employees approaching your work with renewed energy and commitment, you’ll find that there’s little that you can’t accomplish together.” Branson’s philosophy is that happy and fulfilled employees lead to satisfied customers who keep returning for more.

I can't say enough about this book. What an impact this book has made for a culture shift within my team. This is a gem for anyone in the service industry looking to build a culture of true positivity and production. Our human experiences connect us at all levels within the workplace. Creating a business that allows employees to blend and flow can shift your company from incentive based to meaning based. Quite literally meaning your employees are motivated by the belief of the success of your business. Once you capture this level of engagement and trust limitations are lifted, collaboration is seamless and everyone works towards the bigger picture. Chip Conley said it in one sentence for my industry...... "service from the heart". At the core of what we all want is very similar we just have different ways of experiencing it and different paths to attaining it. Great read, I strongly recommend it for any company or leader that is trying to pave a path of synergy or quality engagement! Listen to Peak by Chip Conley on Audible. https://lnkd.in/embrtKcC
