Reflect on your leadership.

Who does what, who reports to whom, and who is responsible for what is made clear with The Secret Formula for Organizational Effectiveness.

Today’s workplace trends increasingly resist traditional work structures. What’s the modern board member’s role in governing an evolving workplace?

The work world is changing. The right to disconnect, the mindset of a “Bare Minimum Monday,” quiet quitting, four day work weeks… These shifts are redefining workplace boundaries. The pendulum of power and balance for leaders and employees is certainly swinging, with some alacrity. What do these trends tell us about organizational health?

The paradigm shift in society and in the workplace over the last twenty years means that the traditional model of leaders presenting themselves as impenetrable, omnipotent, and omniscient no longer works. As leaders, can we let our guard down and be authentic? Be absolutely human, which means flawed, with each other? And, of course, how?

We are always talking about wanting great team players, how desirable a good fit is in terms of employees and new hires. But what distinguishes “those who can” from “those who cannot”? Even though organizations spend untold time (and a whole lot of money) on selections, in many cases, they are asking the wrong questions. How well can this person “do the work?” How competent is this individual? If those are wrong questions, what are the right questions to pose when searching for the Ideal Team Member?

To say the business world has seen incredible change in the past few years is an understatement. It isn’t stopping: we are in for more, and more rapid, evolution. Leaders are asking: do the emergent trends of 2023 impact us? And how do we engage with them and ensure our organizations remain pointed towards its true north?
