This system actually works

Hiring solely based on intelligence or technical skills may not always lead to the most successful outcomes for a team or organization.. Hiring individuals with high EQ can contribute to a positive work environment and stronger team dynamics.. While intelligence and technical skills are important, they should not be the sole criteria for hiring decisions. By prioritizing qualities such as cultural fit, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and diversity of thought, organizations can build stronger, more cohesive teams that are better equipped to achieve success.

In hiring, we often prioritize individual brilliance. However, building successful teams goes beyond that. Complementary skills and a positive office culture are key. Diverse skills bring fresh perspectives and drive innovation. A supportive culture encourages collaboration and open communication, leading to better outcomes. Let's focus on creating cohesive teams and nurturing a positive work environment. This approach leads to unparalleled success. #TeamSynergy #OfficeCulture #Collaboration #Innovation

This is solid career advice. We all get out in this place at some point. I think the art of leadership is understanding that some situations are not within their control but it is how they handle those situations that determine the outcome. People don’t always remember what we say but they always remember how we made them feel. The article speaks to processing it for ourselves as well since we can’t lean on our staff to vent or commiserate!

Great leaders pay attention to their employees

"𝗜'𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂." Recognition goes a long way, especially virtually. Celebrate your team's wins! 3. "𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀." Foster connection by highlighting how each team member contributes to the bigger picture. Remote work can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or imposter syndrome.

Wonderfully said. In the journey of my career I have experienced many more people who are all talk and no action seeking what value they can extract from the relationship than authentic allies and collaborators who actively pursue a relationship anchored in beneficial mutualism. Regenerative Leadership is about ways of “being” in relationship which expresses the 10 principles of living systems, empowering all participants in the relationship dynamic to thrive, rather than applying our competition and scarcity mindsets to “how” we work. Regenerative Leadership is not just about “doing” projects in a regenerative way, but of “being in right relationship” to all participants in the groups and systems you are working with. Regeneration is about actively creating conditions for all of life to thrive

My career in a few words.

I was once told, “If you are not at the dinner table, you are definitely on the menu!” This statement means if you are not sitting at the upper-management table making decisions on who the next person is to fill a position, then they are discussing you. But what are they discussing? They are talking about two things: * Your Performance * Your Behavior Now, ask yourself, how is your performance and behavior compared to your colleagues? They are your competition. If you have someone supporting you and riding for you behind closed doors, make it easy on them by keeping your performance standards high and, most importantly, using your emotional temperament to keep your behavior in line for success. I cannot stress how many I have witnessed lose out on upper management promotions while I sat at the table of upper management due to their emotional temperament. Repost if you can relate.

So true!! In both business and life in general.
