Does your employer operate in uncertain markets? Then you'd better assess if your employer's leadership is embracing uncertainty. Why? Uncertainty is inevitable. Check if your leadership is consciously organizing: 👨🎓 information processing in a fast, furious, frequent way and include every person in and within the context of the company, far beyond the board room's limited perspectives 👨🎓 collect insights at large scale, hence unleash #collectiveintelligence, which requires a structured process to have people collaborate, learn, and emerge unique insights 👨🎓 engage people as your best #change agents: it's their mindsets that make or break responsiveness to uncertainty; companies that send engagement surveys and 'hope that's enough listening' are simply not the best place to work nor the best culture to win in uncertain markets. How do you view our new model for Active Forward Listening? Below pic. Interesting podcast by Gregory LaBlanc and Rebecca Homkes about framing and dealing with uncertainty as an opportunity.

I love this definition of high job strain... ...mostly because it contains in it the answer of how to reduce that strain for your team. Sure, give people the challenge, but then get out of the damn way! Top tip. Before you hold people accountable to a task, you need to give them 5 things. 👉Tools - Do they have the appropriate tools to do the job? 👉Training - Have they had the training to use those tools? 👉Target - Have you clearly defined what 'done' looks like and why deadlines need to be met? 👉Support - Have you agreed what level of support is needed and helpful? 👉Report - Have you agreed how often they will report back on progress and share their experience? That's your job as leader. Setting them up to do the job. Not doing the job.

One of the things I love to dig into is what it takes to build a healthy culture based on alignment and not just constantly pushing to achieve more.  What I’ve seen lately reading articles, in my work, and talking to people, we are quick to label employees as “toxic” when the truth at the core of the problem there is a misalignment in expectations and goals.  Sure, are there people who thrive on drama and lack the ability to take accountability for their actions.  But on the flip side, I’ve also seen a lack of new-era leadership where developing key players, weaving the core values, vision, and mission into absolutely everything throughout the organization, and creating an environment of independent thinking is lacking.  In my latest podcast, I dive into how we can truly identify whether or not an employee is creating drama, discouragement, and negativity or if their behavior and output is a direct result of a lack of leadership within your organization. It’s not just about removing the problem but fostering a culture of positivity and growth because the truth is that a dysfunctional culture will trump any great strategy or strong vision any day. When we focus on guiding our teams and fostering an environment of co-creating the vision, not just giving orders, we transform as a leader. When our leadership thrives, so does the entire organization. It's time we created workplaces that empower and uplift.

Corporate culture is more than just the workplace atmosphere—it influences everything in a company. It affects how we approach tasks, interact with others, and even present ourselves externally. A strong #companyculture can promote a positive work environment, open communication, and a united front when working with partners and customers. Your company’s specific unwritten agreements, processes, decision making, and change management codify the way work is done.

Unleashing Sustainable High Performance through Wellbeing 🚀 I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Charlotte Stebbing-Mills for the Thrive In The Workplace Podcast talking about performance at work 😃 In this discussion with Charlotte, I delve into the crucial role of well-being in achieving sustainable performance in the workplace. And the key part to that is ‘sustainable performance’, what do we have to do to perform well for a long period? Some of the key talking points were: 1. The threefold responsibility for employee well-being: organization, team, and individual. 2. The impact of sustainable well-being on focus, productivity, and overall happiness. 3. Strategies for leaders to build a culture that supports well-being and performance. 4. The vital link between sustainable performance and individual well-being. 5. Measuring success through valuable feedback and surveys to track progress. So are you ready to unlock high performance in your organisation? Make sure you take a listen!

I just wrapped up a thought-provoking podcast with Hakeem Adebiyi - (Accelerating Your Healthcare Export journey), in which we discussed difficult conversations in the workplace.  Here's a quick recap of the key takeaways: 1. I shared the journey of how I began working with individuals on navigating those tough talks. It all started with a pivotal moment with a manager, which ignited my passion for facilitating these crucial discussions. 2. I explore why leaders often shy away from these conversations. Emotions and fear of the unknown can paralyze even the most seasoned leaders, and it's common to feel uncertain about how to approach the dialogue. 3. The podcast highlights the significant risks to businesses when leaders dodge these discussions. Did you know the average employee spends 2.1 hours per week resolving workplace disagreements? That's valuable time lost to productivity. 4. Avoidance breeds toxicity and undercuts performance. When leaders sidestep tough talks, they allow unacceptable behaviours to fester, poisoning the company culture. 5. In the podcast we look at insights into preparing for these challenging discussions. Clarity and emotional detachment are key. Remembering to focus on actions, impacts, and collaborative development steps ensures a productive conversation. 6.  We discuss real-world examples of the consequences of dodging tough talks. From missed targets to strained team dynamics, avoiding these conversations directly impacts business performance. Have a listen.

NON-PRODUCTIVE TIME MAKES TEAMS PRODUCTIVE - CRAZY THOUGHT? Managers should think twice before going on a crusade to eliminate seemingly unproductive time within their teams. What a controversial statement! I had the honor to join Godi Hitschler in her #podcast about leadership and dealing with crisis. We touched upon how the #performance of teams can be increased. As #crazy as it sounds - one way is to embrace non-productive time. 🔴 How can non-productive time make teams more productive? 🚀 Humans need social interaction. It makes them happy. Happy people work better. 🚀 In casual talks points come up that might be missed in "official" meetings. 🚀 The relationship between people changes: anonymous co-workers become trusted colleagues that would not let anyone down. 🚀 Feeling as a team avoids intrigues, mistrust and loneliness. 🚀 Cross-departmental and off-topic communication is fruitful. People are better informed, can easily and informally gather information and find help. Research shows: 🌓 Often less than half of the working time in offices is "productive". It is better to motivate people and build trust than trying to squeeze a few more productive minutes out of them by monitoring and micromanaging. Thank you Godi Hitschler for having me in your podcast. Great experience! #productivity #leadership #remote #management #teamwork
