Article of the Month: Practicing What You Preach: The Impact Of Authentic Leadership On Organizational Success Britton Bloch, VP of Talent Acquisition Strategy and Head of Recruiting at Navy Federal Credit Union, emphasizes the importance of authentic leadership in maintaining trust and driving organizational success. According to Gallup research, only 23% of employees strongly trusted their leaders, leading to lower job satisfaction and motivation. The article highlights that leaders must align their actions with their stated values, as any inconsistency can erode credibility, employee trust, and engagement. Trustworthy leaders create positive environments where employees feel valued, heard, and empowered. Bloch proceeded to provide 5 keys to being an authentic leader:  1. Engage with employees' concerns: Leaders must foster two-way communication, encouraging honest feedback and solutions. 2. Value employees' uniqueness: Recognizing the individual value of each employee and promoting inclusivity is essential. 3. Practice empathy: Empathy fosters trust and innovation, helping create a supportive and engaging workplace. 4. Lead ethically: Integrity and authenticity are critical in building trust and fostering a positive organizational culture. 5. Think creatively and with sound judgment: Creative problem-solving helps leaders adapt to challenges and build innovative solutions. By practicing these qualities, leaders can cultivate trust, empower employees, and ensure long-term organizational success.

Article of the month: Four Questions for Every Manager to Ask Themselves Managers often confront time constraints as they balance their many responsibilities. The article suggests 4 questions managers should ask themselves to reflect on to improve their leadership. “Would I hire this person again?”: Inspired by Peter Drucker's advice, managers should evaluate whether each team member still fits the role. A "yes" affirms success, while a "no" prompts the need for feedback and strategies to enhance performance. “How often am I hearing dissent?”: Amy Edmondson's question searches whether managers encourage open debate. If dissent is rare, it may indicate a lack of psychological safety. “What should we automate?”: With AI advancements, managers should identify repetitive tasks that can be automated to boost productivity. However, automation should be coordinated to avoid inefficiencies from too many independent platforms. “How many people are leaving my team?”: While high turnover is bad, no turnover can signal that talent is being hoarded. Studies show that managers who promote employees attract better talent. The author put these questions together based on different studies and industry professionals, intending to help time-pressed managers reflect and refine their leadership.

Company culture is the "personality" of an organization! No wonder, it was ranked as the biggest driver of employee engagement at Shane Jensen, Changing People and Organizations poll last week with 83% of the votes. But what is company culture? It is a shared set of values, attitudes, behaviours, and practices that define how an organization operates both internally and externally. A company's culture isn't confined to a policy manual; it's often a living, evolving force that shapes the day-to-day experiences of employees. As you can see in our graphic, all those components are part of a company's culture! All together, having a great culture is central to employees’ work experience and a key driver of organizational success! When employees feel trusted, valued, and enjoy their jobs, they will improve performance and engagement! What are your favourite aspects of working in an organization with a great culture? #NewQuest #CompanyCulture #EmployeeEngagement #OrganizationalSuccess
