Sense-making is such an important role for leaders - working on a connected and coherent narrative across the organisation is such an important part of that!

Getting to the Critical Few Behaviors That Can Drive Cultural Change

Getting to the Critical Few Behaviors That Can Drive Cultural Change | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
Focusing on a “critical few” behaviors is one of the fundamental tenets of working effectively with organizational culture. Sometimes called keystone behaviors, these are patterns of acting that are tangible, repeatable, observable, and measurable, and will contribute to achieving an organization’s strategic and operational objectives. The behaviors are critical because they will have a significant impact on business performance when exhibited by large numbers of people; they are few because people can really only remember and change three to five key behaviors at one time.

In the work done by Katzenbach Center consultants around the world, we have seen how a focus on a critical few behaviors helps bring about changes that contribute to meaningful business outcomes, whether it is a medical devices manufacturer tallying 10 straight quarters of revenue growth or a technology firm saving US$100 million a year in warranty costs.

The recruitment industry can be pretty volatile which makes it even more important for recruitment leaders to embrace change than to shy away from it. Whether it be implementing new initiatives, changing current behaviors that entice success all need buy in from your current workforce and accountability from management to see it through. Happy Reading and Happy Friday.

Why Women Entrepreneurs Are Happier Than Male Entrepreneurs

Why Women Entrepreneurs Are Happier Than Male Entrepreneurs | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it

There's a lot being said out there about the state of women in this country. The gender gap is alive and well when it comes to salary, confidence, happiness, and the number of women in the C-suite and science. Women aren't as happy as they were in the 1970s, research has shown, and their happiness relative to that of men has taken a nosedive.

 

But it's not all doom and gloom. A recent study shows there's one career path in which women's perceived happiness is greater than men's: entrepreneurship.

 

One out of every 10 women in the U.S. today is starting or running her own business, according to a that came out in June. More than a third of those women want to expand their business beyond five employees.

How This Founder Grew His Company From 10 to 400 Employees in a Single Year

How This Founder Grew His Company From 10 to 400 Employees in a Single Year | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it

One of the hardest things for any entrepreneur to figure out (after how to make money) is building a healthy, focused, powerful company culture.

 

It's easier said than done, especially in today's world of outsourcing, teams that live across the country from each other, virtual assistants, etc.

 

However, I've seen, time and again, that when a company knows how to make money AND gets their culture right, they're pretty much guaranteed to succeed. One without the other doesn't last long.

To drill down into the magic of doing this, I invited my good friend Gunnar Lovelace onto The School of Greatness.

 

Gunnar is the founder of the super-successful online warehouse of health foods at wholesale prices, Thrive Market.
