Friday's Beyond Leadership with LEADERSHIP HARRISBURG AREA was a full day of focus on the 10 Essentials of Servant Leadership and a great follow up from my CLS class. Servant Leadership is not about the number of non profit organizations served by an individual, or the number of hours spent attending board meetings or community events. That is community service and it is very important. Servant Leadership, however, is about one person making an investment in the growth and development of another person; it's one person putting another's needs before their own. It happens at home, at work, and in the community, and it is very important. There is a huge difference between the two. Take this course to find out :)

The Collins Companies had a great week in San Juan, Puerto Rico attending the American Supply Association (ASA) Lead 2024 Strategic Leadership Meeting. We had two ASA volunteer leaders: Paul Andruszkiewicz , Chairman of IPD, and Micaela McDonald, former Chairwoman of Women in Industry.  Both attended the ASA LEAD2024 strategic planning meeting last week in San Juan/Carolina, Puerto Rico. Volunteer leaders gathered to discuss the disruptive forces members will confront in the next five years and how our industry association can best assist members in meeting these difficulties. #ASA #strategicplanning

Abel Frederic is the real deal. It is a privilege to get to see and learn from his thoughtful leadership and smart strategy identification and implementation.

I look forward to sitting on this distinguished panel and speaking about the benefits of partnering with minority business enterprises within the public sector. #MBEs #WBEs #EquityInBusiness #MinorityBusinessEmpowerment #PublicSectorDiversity #InclusiveEconomy

Creating an inclusive workplace demands intentional time and focus for all of us, and I’m honored to be recognized in this category with so many amazing humans! In case you need a reminder of how this impacts culture and actual business results, here are 3 great stats to share with your organizations! 1. A study by Deloitte found that organizations with inclusive cultures are 6 times more likely to be innovative and agile, and 8 times more likely to achieve better business outcomes. 2. According to a report by McKinsey, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform their industry peers in terms of profitability. 3. The Harvard Business Review reported that organizations with diverse and inclusive workplaces see higher employee engagement, increased employee retention, and improved productivity.
