The Higgins Group, Inc.’s Post

Sooo insightful! Leaders need to constantly remind themselves how time consuming, costly and risky replacing a key executive will be; an 'ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' Commit the time to really engage and develop your direct reports/top talent. Even when companies go through really tough times - when general employee morale can wane, the executives who are engaged to develop and implement solutions will remain positive and lead through these difficult times. Take Donna's recommendations to heart - or your executives will be taking her calls...

The industry might feel a bit outdated and stagnant, but there are some incredible individuals out there doing amazing things that aren’t getting enough attention. I’m eager to collaborate with those driving change and those who want to be part of the industry’s future. I can’t do this alone, and we need to move past the notion that this industry is just about one person, one business, or one organization. We all have the potential to leave an imprint that can foster massive growth and create a positive atmosphere for those stepping into the industry.

With the recent passing of Dr. Kahneman, I've been reflecting on my career journey and what drives my passion for blending psychology with business. As I navigate my job search, I've found inspiration in diving into "Noise." This book explores the fascinating variability of human judgment across sectors like medicine, law, and hiring practices. Consider this: two doctors faced with identical cases might reach vastly different diagnoses, or two interviewers at the same firm might make contrasting hiring decisions about the same candidate. This inconsistency persists even when the same professionals are faced with the same decision in separate instances. This variability, known as noise, can hinder organizational effectiveness. As someone eager to grow into a future business leader, I'm intrigued by the challenge of addressing noise in decision-making processes. By implementing simple remedies, both individuals and organizations can significantly improve outcomes. Let's strive for consistency and clarity in our judgments to drive better results. To be continued!

As Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr once said, "Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses." This quote is a reminder that perspective is everything, especially when it comes to the pursuit of knowledge. The pursuit of knowledge is a journey that requires dedication, curiosity, and most importantly, open-mindedness. It is the tool we use to navigate through life and make informed decisions, both personally and professionally. As the saying goes, knowledge is power. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it even when conditions are unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come. We must always be willing to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones to continue learning and growing. For me, knowledge is the power to sustain and survive among the wisest people in the world. That's why I highly recommend checking out the videos from the Leaders Conclave on Times Ascent. It's an excellent resource for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and learn from some of the best in their respective fields. Let's continue to embrace the pursuit of knowledge and all the opportunities it brings. It's a shame that some companies play dirty politics and unfair games with their most loyal and honest employees. These money-driven companies fail to value and understand the same. We need to change this narrative and strive for a more equitable workplace where knowledge and hard work are rewarded.

Those who have known me longer also know that I have always believed in creating value by valuing people. I love collaborating with networks of unique individuals from diverse environments, influential pioneers, talented entrepreneurs, multidisciplinary experts, and future-positive thinkers who celebrate imagination. When working with someone’s future, always bring in diverse perspectives. Cultivate inclusive, critical conversations about our desired future to avoid creating a world that only benefits a few. So, here’s to breaking through conventional wisdom by celebrating dialogue and conversation with others to anticipate what’s next! https://lnkd.in/dSQiVUmn

Advice for Success In Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, he found that industry leaders succeeded due to outside support, not just talent or work alone. The "outliers" all had help and asked for it. As he said, no one does it alone. When making decisions, don't rely only on your own views. Tim Keller recommends getting perspective from others, reflecting carefully, and considering your strengths and how it affects people. Wisdom comes from many counsellors. For friends with big choices, offering your perspective could guide the best outcome. Who in your network is deciding - they may appreciate another point of view. Image credit: psychologytoday.com

5 (or even 1) year planning is a relic of the past. Get comfortable with uncertainty and name your ‘org gaps’ as the opportunities that they are…
