Our Director of Research, John Higgins, recently published a thought-provoking article with Megan Reitz in Harvard Business Review on a growing trend: employee activism. In today's social landscape, employees are increasingly vocal about the issues they care about. This can be a challenge, but it's also an opportunity. John will be running a webinar 11th July where he will offer a practical framework for leaders. Would be great to see you there; link to the webinar in the comments. https://lnkd.in/eE9_CJ6v #leadership #activism #workplaceculture

I think the frameworks outlined in this paper give leaders a clear pathway to ensure they stop, breath and listen, BUT and this is a biggie - it requires leaders to DO things differently. This is a challenge, I know, and I wonder who is up for it? #leadingchange #womeninchange #vistage #acmpuk #acmp Steven Bartlett https://lnkd.in/eE8H4hFj

Should You Respond to Employee Activism?: When employees speak out about political and social issues, when and how should you respond as a senior leader? Take a pause with your leadership team and consider five factors before making a public statement.

Im encountering more and more leaders and organisations struggling with how to safely and confidently engage in complex human ethics questions. I dont necessarily agree with the label of activism, but I do think this article is a good starting point for structured thinking in the space. Here are some questions you could ask yourself: Where do you think your organisation sits on the taxonomy, and why? How does your organisation’s culture impact power shadows? How do you think your power shadow impacts what data you use to make decisions? How is your view of your taxonomy impacted by your power shadow, and how does that impact your people and your strategic intent?
