    Leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean have gathered to deliberate on the role of governance in ensuring the legitimacy of public institutions, enhancing security and accelerating the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through improved governance. As a governance enthusiast, I am eager to see the Caribbean reap the fruits of the ongoing two-day dialogue on governance for development in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is clear that for the public and private sectors, Governance is no longer just a compliance checkbox. It's a strategic imperative! The way organizations govern themselves directly impacts their reputation, risk profile, and bottom line. Are you prepared for the governance challenges of tomorrow? Are you confident that the organisations that you serve, and those that serve you are prepared for these challenges? Let's discuss! #governance #businessstrategy #riskmanagement #corporategovernance #leadership

  • A very timely reminder that we can all choose to be transformational leaders at any stage or our careers. Leadership is more than a title, and titles do not make great leaders.

    Emotional intelligence shapes how we lead every day. It guides us in making meaningful connections and impactful actions. 6 Ways to Practise Leadership Daily, No Matter Your Role. True leadership isn’t confined to the corner office or a fancy title. Those with leadership titles can sometimes be the least effective. Their job title gives them a false sense of accomplishment. What truly counts are the actions we take, not the title we hold. Here are 6 daily practices to become the leader you aspire to be, ↳ right where you are: 1. Take Initiative ↳ Spot opportunities and act on them. ↳ Be the proactive force that drives positive change. 2. Cultivate a Growth Mindset ↳ Embrace challenges and learn from criticism. ↳ Turn setbacks into stepping stones for improvement. 3. Communicate Effectively ↳ Clear, concise, and open communication builds trust. ↳ Listen more than you speak, and speak with intention. 4. Show Empathy ↳ Understand and share the feelings of others. ↳ Empathy fosters strong, supportive relationships. 5. Lead by Example ↳ Your actions set the standard for others. ↳ Integrity and consistency inspire those around you. 6. Encourage Collaboration ↳ Foster a culture of teamwork and mutual respect. ↳ Great leaders elevate others and celebrate collective success. Some of the most effective leaders don’t have it as their job title. What they're good at is inspiring others ↳ and getting people to work collaboratively on a problem. "Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence, and inspiration." - Robin S. Sharma Which practice resonated with you the most? Let me know in the comments💬 P.S. Repost this ♻️ to share it with your network. And follow me Véronique Barrot for more posts like this. Let's foster positive change in people and organisations globally.

    People Leader. Business Partner. Talent Enthusiast.

    Organizations are usually made of and made for human beings! But too many Leaders still believe in a switch for ⚡️People’s emotions ⚡️People’s attitude towards change ⚡️People’s committment, when not being treated with respect ⚡️People’s high performance, when leaders did not remove roadblocks ⚡️People’s will to openly share their views, when leaders always know better ⚡️ People’s view of feeling understood, when leaders ignore their non-verbal cues ⚡️People’s will to showing opportunities for improvements, when leaders minimize their problems Yes, human beings are complex. And being a leader means to deal with these complexities, and not only with business complexities. Most businesses are dependent on people, so make people your business. #leadership #emotionalintelligence #recognition #peoplefirst Image: Visualize Tom

  • Strong corporate governance isn't just a checkbox - it's the foundation for building trust and achieving sustainable success. Here's why EVERYONE in your organization, not just the Board and Management, should be aware of the importance of governance: > Transparency & Accountability: Good governance fosters open communication and clear decision-making processes, ensuring everyone understands their role and how it contributes to the bigger picture. > Mitigating Risk: Proactive governance practices help identify and address potential issues before they escalate, safeguarding your company's reputation and financial health. > Investor Confidence: Investors are increasingly looking for companies with robust governance structures. Demonstrating awareness showcases your commitment to long-term value creation. > Employee Engagement: When employees feel like they're part of a well-governed organization, they're more likely to be engaged, productive, and proud of where they work. What can YOU do? > Educate yourself! There are plenty of resources available online and through professional organizations. > Start conversations! Talk to colleagues about the importance of governance and how it impacts their roles. > Champion ethical practices! Speak up if you see something that doesn't align with your company's governance principles. By working together, we can create a more transparent, accountable, and successful business environment for everyone. #CorporateGovernance #BusinessEthics #Sustainability Let's discuss! What are your thoughts on the importance of corporate governance awareness? Share your insights in the comments.
