There's no doubt in my mind that the days of boardrooms being controlled by old men with old ideas are numbered. The question is what are you doing to create the change needed. |

According to Odean, success depends on whether you are able to persuade people to join you in your cause to create new and revolutionary things. I feel that this is true. Someone might have an extremely innovative idea, but no words to express himself. People would most likely scratch their heads in confusion by what this person says. However, another person may have a dumb idea, but package the idea so nicely that others think the idea is amazing. Although persuasion is such an important skill, schools do not educate students on how to be persuasive concisely. Instead, schools teach students to use windy evidences to strengthen their point. Using lengthy evidences will just confuse others and make them question you more. I feel that schools should also give some insights on how to have better speaking skills in order to persuade people easily. Such knowledge proves to be more useful for students when they grow up.

Top employers create a blueprint, treat HR like a sales organization and govern by meritocracy.

Company culture is incredibly important ,and far too many companies fail to invest the time and resources to create a positive one.
Make no mistake ...every single company HAS a culture, regardless of weather you try to create one, or not.
What is yours?

are you leading change or merely managing it! |
Some great advice. Simple rules to follow. I would print this out and hang it on your wall and bring it out before every group meeting to refresh what you need to cover.
That brings up another key point - when was the last time you had a team meeting. We all think we have meetings all the time but the truth is we do not have as many as we think we do or should.
Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly - what is the right frequency? Weekly is a good place to start but maybe you switch up the main purpose of the team meetings and make them mandatory.
We do monthly Team Talks - that allows everyone to communicate what is happening in their group / department and ask questions. Item #8 - Check.
We also do Lunch and Learns - that allows one person or a group /department to show off what they are thinking about or working on. Goo way to get the innovation ideas flowing - One more for #8 - double check.
Totally agree with doing a great job with on boarding - make a persons first day a great day. This is is a whole blog post on it's own. I also like sending good people off with some fanfare and a thank you. They are ambassadors for your company thank you, good luck and farewell event to highlighting in a bigger meeting is a very good idea. #9 - Check, check.
The rest of the items - are leadership touch points to that should be communicated as often as possible - such as the events listed above. In fact, we believe that these communication should be free flowing and a product like Kudos is designed to help companies do that with a big dose of #7. Show your appreciation often and say thanks to people every week.
I call it leading out loud and doing it in structured ways will make people feel more connected to the company and one another. Transparency and honesty is a good thing - Your team can handle the truth so keep them in the loop :)
If you ever wondered what those companies you admire so much do - that is pretty well it.
Cheers,
