Leadership Week in Review: Feb. 4-10, 2024

by David E. Shellenberger on February 12, 2024

Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..

Korn Ferry Insights:

RTO and the Bottom Line:
Leaders say productivity increases when workers are in the office, but a new study asks: Do profits get any better?
(Week of Jan. 29, 2024).

“[M]any companies may need to consider how to make the office experience more engaging for employees. ‘You can’t just order people back. You need a new office culture to get them back, or they’ll be embittered about it for the next twenty years.'”
……..

Julien C. Mirivel and Julie Allison:

How to Reboot After Disappointment at Work:
We can bounce back better from a disappointment if we pay more attention to our internal dialogue.” (2-6-24).

“‘This moment is a gift, and I can use it to do what I love.'”
……..

Ted Kitterman, Great Place to Work:

7 Best Practices To Improve Employee Listening Efforts and Build Trust” (1-29-24).

“For every survey given to employees, make sure you follow up with action items based on the feedback you receive. If employees feel that their feedback is being ignored, participation rates for your employee survey will drop.”
……..

Rohit Kar and Allan Watkinson, Gallup:

Culture Transformation: What Leaders Need to Know” (3-24-23).

“Gallup’s decades of research shows that a strong culture is a powerful differentiator in the marketplace. A great culture attracts customers, retains them and turns them into brand advocates — and attracts and engages high-performing employees.”
……..

John Baldoni:

“‘Stay Out of the Clubhouse‘” (2-4-24).

“Knowing, connecting, and understanding are central to effective teamwork, not simply on a ball diamond but in life itself. Any manager will do well to try to relate to his direct reports as people. A manager’s job is not to make friends but to earn their trust.”
