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
Trish Sadar's insight:
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?

The ability to ask great questions is a critically important skill for leaders. Questions determine the answer, and the course of a conversation. The moment a question is asked, the entire course of events can change. A well worded question is truly THAT powerful.

Although the ‘Great Man’ theory of leadership belongs to the scrapheap of history, its allure continues to mystify. Underlying this theory is the assumption that if the right man (yes, it is often assumed to be a man) for the job emerges, he will almost magically take control of a situation and lead a group of people into safety or success. While such leaders are rare, there are times when a singular individual steps out from the crowd and serves as a paragon of leadership. One such individual was Alexander the Great; one of history’s most famous warriors and a legend of almost divine status in his own lifetime. He falls into the elite category of individuals who changed the history of civilisation and shaped the present world as we know it. Via Kenneth Mikkelsen

A recent study shows those who are in tune with their colleagues' emotions may be more financially successful.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Interesting study supports that Emotionally Intelligent people make more money.
Awareness is the beginning to all change, and emotionally intelligent people not only strive for self mastery -- to understand, manage, and use their strengths...they are aware of how their actions impact people and situations.
What are your thoughts? How can you tell when you a leader is emotionally intelligent?

Billionaire businessman Richard Branson is experimenting with unlimited vacation for staff at Virgin Group offices.
Trish Sadar's insight:
As a leader it is always curious to me how much we value our vacation time as a benefit; however, so many of us don't use the vacation time we can take.
I think that Richard Branson is on to something! What are your thoughts on this?

To some extent, the connection between leadership and the bottom line has been made. Yet most evidence on this point comes merely from the personal treatises of famous and successful executives.
I love research that supports what most of us have seen for ourselves. There is such a strong ROI on investing in leadership talent. I was just having this conversation yesterday with an executive.
I believe that leaders are alot like computers. Just like our computers, we need to make sure that we invest a significant amount of time and money into making sure that we have the most updated software and virus protection for our leaders. Most leaders are running off of programming from years ago...Isn't it time to reboot, get the viruses out, and update our programming so that we can be aligned with the organization's network (goals), communicate more effectively, and work more efficiently.
As leaders when we stop learning we stop growing. If that happens, what happens to our teams?

The human ingenuity within any organisation are it's greatest competitive advantage. Yet according to the latest statistics, over half of todays workers are disengaged . When leaders are committed and actively working to engage, inspire and embolden – they unleash untapped potential and raise the bar not just on productivity, but on the value their organization contributes to all stakeholders.
As a leadership coach I get so revved up when I hear about organizations that have cultivated this type of culture! Trust and Appreciation are part of the environment, and every employee is empowered, engaged, and inspired to contribute. Walking around an organization like this is a bit like electricity with the buzz, energy, and positivity!
Another interesting thing happens is that employees seem to transform into entrepreneurs who are committed and "own it" each day. They know their role, what is expected of them, are accountable, and make decisions each day confidently to solve problems, take care of customers, and make the organization better.
In this type of environment each person knows their boundaries, and makes a difference each day. They are empowered and not afraid of making mistake, because they know that their leaders and the organization have their backs. What a great feeling that to work in an organization where you could not fail, because your entire team had your back, and mistakes are seen as stepping stones towards growth.
What are your thoughts? Have you worked at an organization like this or do you currently? Would love to hear from you.

Turbulent times are where the "action is" and when leadership is needed the most ... and when it counts the most. The only question is will you choose to grab the "turbulent" bull by the horns and lead your people and organization to even greater potential, or will you let someone else lead instead ( ... perhaps your competition or adversary)?
