Great CEOs know what's happening in the organization. By 'walking around' literally, or, by tapping into employees knowledge, experiences, worries, and ideas via modern technology such as CircleLytics ACI & Dialogue. Look at this picture for a sec. The curved, fat, orange arrow between leadership and employees represents a direct relationship to include employees - cross any hierarchy - in organizational matters and (preparing for) decision making.

Sales leaders are under pressure unlike I've never seen in my 20+ years in sales. Remote selling, the advent of #ai, hard-to-read economic forecasts, and pressure to generally do more with less. It all adds up to an incredibly tense environment. And since this is all so new, there isn't a set playbook for overcoming these challenges. Without precedent to follow, here is my advice to sales leaders out there: 👉 Never forget that the people on your team will always be your number one asset. As their leader, they rely on you to motivate them, develop them, listen to them, be empathetic with them, hold them accountable, celebrate their wins, and coach them through losses. The times might have changed. But your core function has not. Make your people better. The rest will sort itself out.

🔍 Navigating Tech Leadership & the Boardroom: Let's Dive In One important topic often arises: whether the digital leader should get a seat on the board (or not, as is the case for 35% of companies according to our research). It's a conversation worth having, as it reflects an organisation's commitment to innovation and adaptability. 💡 (Our research ALSO tells us that those orgs with a digital leader on the exec outperform their competitors on customer experience, retention, and time to market) 🤚 Here's the thing: Many tech leaders aren't getting the visibility they deserve due to reporting structures. 📊 But what does it signify when IT isn't represented at the top?   This isn't just about a seat; it's about collaboration, accelerating tech's transformative power, and staying ahead of the curve. 🚀   🎙️ Exciting News: I'm on a mission to connect with forward-thinking CIOs for the Modern Leader Podcast! Leaders who have navigated this very challenge and will share invaluable insights on bridging the gap.   🎯 Ready to Join the Conversation?

Are you, as a leader, seeking to understand how your role as a leader is evolving in the growing impact of AI? How do we understand the past but progress to a brighter future for everyone? And considering all that, how can we lead your teams and organizations when our world is constantly changing and evolving? A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of sitting down to chat with Rob Kamranpoor P.Eng, MBA, LL.M ✭ on the RK Leadership Inc. podcast. It was a deep dive into my experience and my unique use of design thinking as a leadership practice (which I call leading by design). Leading by design is the future of leadership and we dive into what it is, why it works, and more. Here's some of the things we discussed (see time stamps in the description on YouTube to catch a specific topic) 📖 My background and entry into leadership. 📈 to 🧶 Evolution from linear to nonlinear leadership and the importance of impact. 🏆 The role of design thinking in Karen's early leadership success. 🪜 Experiences climbing the corporate ladder, having the ladder on the wrong wall (more than once!) and embracing change. ▵ Advice on leadership and managing change effectively. 🤝 Creating team engagement and Karen's inclusive leadership style. ♥️ Reflections on leaving management and the shift towards volunteering and purpose. 🧑🏼🎨 🎨 Advice for those considering leaving their 9-to-5 jobs. 🔌 Finding purpose in life and the connection to design thinking. 🔮 Design thinking as the future of leadership and its principles. 🤖 The impact of AI on leadership and the importance of human elements. 🫶🏼 The significance of authenticity and vulnerability in leadership. 👧🏼 Final thoughts, advice for young leaders #designthinking #leadership #leadingbydesign #innovation #inclusivity #changemanagement #leadershipstyle #leadershipcommunication #leadershipdevelopment #purpose #AI #nonlinear https://lnkd.in/eV-pHchD
