Some aspects of organizational culture are visible on the surface, like the tip of an iceberg, while others are implicit and submerged within the organization. Because these ingrained assumptions are tacit and below the surface, they are not easy to see or deal with, although they affect everything the organization does. Via The Learning Factor

Insightful article!
As an HR Professional I have been on all sides of change: As the person leading change initiatives inside the organization, as an external consultant partnering with senior leaders to execute change, and as the recipient of change inside the organization.
What I know to be true is this: Long are the days when we would say to ourselves..."once this change initiative is complete, things will go back to normal." The reality is we are living in a VUCA environment. (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) Change is the new normal, and we as leaders are tasked with communicating effectively and connecting the dots for our organization.
It was always important for the entire team to understand where we are now, where we want to be, and what we as an organization need to do to get there. Once we confirmed our shared goals & confirmed roles, it was important that everyone understood the why -- the business reasons for the change and we all had the same picture of what success looked like with KPIs.
I would ask 3 quesions to adjust my change lens before planning or communications began: In order for this change to be effective... 1. What do we as leaders need to know? 2. What do we need to do? 3. How do we need to be?
Then repeat these 3 questions for our staff? 1. What does our staff need to know? Is there anything that they need to learn, unlearn, or re-learn? Why should they care? 2. What are we asking our staff to do as a result of this change? 3. How do we want our staff to be?
Hope this article, and my humble opinion added value to you as a leader. ---If you have any questions, comments, or best practices about culture, change, or leadership…I am on it! My goal is to share thoughts, tools, and inspiration to help you leverage your strengths, and achieve your goals!

In today’s high-tech, high-speed, high-stress world, communication is more important then ever, yet we seem to devote less and less time to really listening to one another. Genuine listening has become a rare gift—the gift of time. It helps build relationships, solve problems, ensure understanding, resolve conflicts, and improve accuracy. At work, effective listening means fewer errors and less wasted time. At home, it helps develop resourceful, self-reliant kids who can solve their own problems. Listening builds friendships and careers. It saves money and marriages. Via The Learning Factor, Katherine Bryant, David Hain

This article is more true now than ever!
A leader who is genuinely interested in what I have to say, and is actively listening to me ...I it makes me feel pretty important -- like they care about me, and prioritize me over their emails and paperwork.
The pay off is big in terms of building stronger relationships, productivity, improved communication and quality.
When you go to your next meeting do your best to keep you iphone or smart phone on silent and in your pocket. Before the meeting use the time wisely to re-connect with those who you work with.
I was told this early in my career, and I believe it to be true that as we move up the ladder in positions we need to talk listen and listen more to our teams. (When we talk we are repeating what we already know; however, when we listen chances are we will learn something new.)
Hope you enjoy this article! Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!

Bersin has completed a comprehensive research project on employee recognition (saying "thank you") and the results are really astounding: organizations that give regular thanks to their employees far out perform those that don't.
What their research found was that tenure-based rewards systems have virtually no impact on organizational performance. It turns out that many of these tenure-based rewards programs are really legacy programs from the turn of the century when labor unions forced management to give employees “service awards” and hourly raises for tenure. Most large companies still have these programs today, yet only 58% of employees even know such programs exist. So for the most part they aren’t creating much value.
On other hand, our research did find that modern, re-engineered recognition programs can have a huge impact on business performance. Via The Learning Factor, David Hain

Yesterday I've finallized a manual designed to support my view on the future of organizational development for the social economy entities, to which i've given the name of 'Engagement Management', where I've assembled these four tools as the most important any organization should embrace:
1. Strategy (to control or to develop?) 2. The importance of Employee RECOGNITION 3. Team development meetings using the principle of fostering participation and creativity 4. Self-assessment as the best way to allow indivividual, thus groupal, growth

Something as simple as Thank you drives employee productivity. I've yet to come across an employee who asked his boss to stop giving recognition because it was too much...

As leaders we are seeing shifts in how we communicate, interact, and make decisions in our global environment. More flattened organizations and flexible work settings are here. I haven't seen a shift is less emails for the organizations and leaders who I work with however.
Would love to hear how your organizations are effectively using cloud technology, and how lessened emails have been accomplished.
Make it a great day!

The smart leaders understand the concept of following from the front, that is, removing obstacles from the paths of employees to help them become successful. Scaring your employees into doing what you want is a failed approach to leadership yet unfortunately this is how many of our companies were created; it’s time to evolve this way of leading.

The ability to manage your emotions and remain calm under pressure has a direct link to your performance. TalentSmart has conducted research with more than a million people, and we’ve found that 90% of top performers are skilled at managing their emotions in times of stress in order to remain calm and in control. The tricky thing about stress (and the anxiety that comes with it) is that it’s an absolutely necessary emotion. Our brains are wired such that it’s difficult to take action until we feel at least some level of this emotional state. In fact, performance peaks under the heightened activation that comes with moderate levels of stress. As long as the stress isn’t prolonged, it’s harmless. Via The Learning Factor

This is simply not rocket science, but something that we have always known about, and perhaps forgotten down the road. Stress management has been the key to the success of everyone living in a society bordering on chaos. The successful mother, the mature director, the 'Mr Cool Dude' are all metaphors of successful people who manage their stress levels to remain calm even in the most challenging of situations. True, some might have an innate capability for remaining calm, but then others can train themselves too!

just imagine some professions like Armed Forces, Medicine, Airline Pilots, shipping, police where stress levels are very high, yet many of them remain so calm and composed. Its comes through extensive training. I guess we all have the potential to control our stress levels and be happy. Good reading

After looking at the lives of certain great men, I was able to come up 13 rules that high achievers never break. If you obey these rules, you will become a high achiever too. 1. Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them; you have no idea what their journey is all about.Stop trying to be someone else. We all have our own distinct purposes in life. Be yourself always and become the best version of you. You are original, not a counterfeit.
