Happy October! Let's take a moment to reflect on the past quarter and set new goals for the rest of the year. What are you most excited about? #October #NewBeginnings #Goals #LinkedIn

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝. Today's business challenge begins with a changing marketplace and continues with a new generation workforce. Higher order thinking and creative problem solving are the new skills in demand in the 21st Century. That calls for a 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒. Left directed thinking still matters in society but its not enough. Today we are moving into an era in which right-directed thinking will increasingly determine who gets ahead. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Traditionally, left-directed thinking, which is associated with analytical, logical, and critical thinking, has been highly valued. However, right-directed thinking, associated with creativity, intuition, and emotional intelligence, is becoming increasingly important. In today's rapidly changing world, both left-directed and right-directed thinking are crucial for effective leadership. Leaders who can combine analytical skills with creativity, empathy, and intuition will be better equipped to navigate complex challenges and inspire others. The next generation of leaders must engage and interact with each others in new and innovative ways. 2. 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: 1. 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 As Simon Sinek's "Start with Why" has popularized, understanding and articulating a company's purpose is crucial for attracting and retaining talent, especially now. While income remains a significant factor, Millennials and Gen Z often prioritize companies that align with their values and offer a sense of meaning and contribution. Studies have shown that organizations with a clear purpose and strong social impact tend to be more successful in attracting top talent and achieving long-term growth. Young people are more likely to go the extra mile and put in greater effort when they believe in the company's mission and understand how their work contributes to that mission. A strong sense of purpose can lead to higher levels of productivity. 2. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝. Putting on a façade can only sustain for a brief period, and recovering from being disingenuous as a leader is challenging. New generation expects transparency and authenticity. By being vulnerable and honest about one's own shortcomings, leaders can not only gain young people's trust, but also inspire them to embrace their own imperfections and continuously strive for personal growth.

𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤? 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞? (An interesting question asked by Gen z employee during one of my sessions). As Gen Z enters the workforce in increasing numbers, their unique perspectives on work-life balance, mental health and autonomy are reshaping organizational dynamics. Here are some key shifts that we may witness in the coming years: 1. A renewed emphasis on mental health. Having grown up in a more socially conscious and open-minded environment, Gen Z are more attuned to their own emotions and needs. 2. Gen Z employees value work-life balance more than previous generations. They are less willing to sacrifice their personal lives for their careers and are more likely to seek jobs with flexible work arrangements, such as remote work or flexible hours. This shift is driven by a desire for a healthier and more fulfilling life outside of work. 3. Gen Z employees are more likely to seek jobs that align with their values and offer a sense of purpose. They want to work for companies that are making a positive impact on the world and that share their commitment to social and environmental responsibility. 4. Gen Z employees also expect open and honest communication with their employers. They want to be involved in decision-making processes and to receive regular feedback. This is a departure from previous generations, who were often more passive and deferential. 5. Gen Z employees have grown up with technology and expect it to be integrated into their work lives. They appreciate employers who invest in technology to improve efficiency and productivity. 6. Finally, Gen Z employees are seeking mentors and opportunities for professional development. They want to grow and advance in their careers, and they expect their employers to support their aspirations with trainings, coaching and mentorship. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 To attract and retain Gen Z top talent, employers must adapt to these shifting expectations. Here are some key strategies: 1. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: Clearly articulate your company's mission and values, and demonstrate how employees can contribute to a meaningful cause. 2. 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Provide flexible work arrangements and support work-life balance. 3. 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Create a culture of open communication and transparency, where employees feel empowered to share their ideas and concerns. 4. Invest in Technology: Provide employees with the tools and technology they need to be successful. 5. 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Invest in employee development programs, trainings and provide opportunities for mentorship.

 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, the workplace was often seen as a place where emotions should be left at the door. This outdated perspective, however, is rapidly changing.

Emotions, often overlooked in organizations, serve as the invisible yet powerful force that shapes the workplace environment. Emotions directly impact employee performance, as positive emotions foster ownership, problem-solving abilities, and overall productivity. On the other hand, negative emotions can hinder performance, leading to decreased motivation, increased errors, and reduced job satisfaction. Engagement, a key metric of organizational health, is intimately linked to emotional culture. Employees who feel valued, supported, and connected to their organizations are more likely to be engaged and committed to their work. Negative emotions, such as stress, frustration, or burnout, can erode engagement and lead to higher turnover rates. Moreover, emotions play a significant role in decision-making processes. When individuals are emotionally invested in their work, they are more likely to make thoughtful and informed decisions Recognizing the importance of emotional culture is the first step toward fostering a positive and productive workplace. Organizations can take several proactive measures to cultivate a positive emotional climate including:  1. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩:  Leaders should actively model positive emotions and behaviors, setting the tone for the entire organization. 2.
