🚀 Why Companies Miss the Mark on Maximizing Employee Potential 🚀 Despite the wealth of management theories available, many companies struggle to blend the best practices to unlock their team's true potential. Often, they focus too heavily on either rigid objectives or employee engagement, without realizing the power of combining both. 🌟 Unlocking Peak Performance: Combining Drucker’s Management Theory with Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Theory 🌟 To truly maximize potential, we need to blend the best of both worlds: 🗝️ Clear Goals & Feedback: Peter Drucker: Aligns teams with clear objectives through Management by Objectives.

Handling resistance from stakeholders who focus solely on tangible outcomes in L&D involves a strategic approach from someone who’s been in the L&D field for 20+ years: 1. Share Stories, Not Just Stats: Talk about real people who’ve grown because of L&D. Stories stick better than statistics. 2. Connect the Dots: Show how happy, skilled employees lead to the tangible results stakeholders love. It’s all connected. 3. Small Wins Matter: Start with a small program that shows both tangible and intangible wins. The proof is powerful. 4. Speak Their Language: Use terms that resonate with stakeholders. Talk about ‘returns’, ‘investment,’ ‘growth,’ and ‘competitive edge.’ 5. Improved Employee Retention: Employees who feel they are growing professionally with L&D initiatives are likely to stay with an organization for longer. 6. Improved or Consistent Employee Engagement Surveys: L&D initiatives directly influence employee engagement and retention. Hence, you should use metrics related to employee engagement to prove the worth of L&D. 7. Share only Relevant Info: Typically, stakeholders are busy professionals. Hence, share only what’s relevant and high impact to leave a lasting impression. 8. Patience Pays Off: Change doesn’t happen overnight. Keep showing how the intangible benefits are just as important as the tangible ones. Remember, it’s about balance. Show how the intangible enriches the tangible, and you’ll turn resistance into support. #stakeholders #elearning #coursecreation #founders #ceo #employee

I recently ran a poll question on LinkedIn asking why people think the turnover of D&I leaders is at an all time high. 10% said it was due to a lack of employee engagement, 30% of respondents said it was because leaders what quick results, and 60% said it was due to a lack of leadership buy in. What if I told you I know how you can get leadership buy-in, I can reinvigorate employee engagement and I can show you the steps you need to take to get quick and effective wins?

Just wrapped up an insightful webinar session with Heidi Kupke on "Strategy Starts & Ends with a Purpose" as part of my PDU journey. Yesterday's session was a fantastic exploration into the core of strategic planning and execution. Heidi's expertise truly shines as she delves into the significance of purpose in every aspect of our strategic endeavors. Here are 3 key takeaways from the webinar: 1. The importance of aligning strategic planning with a clear purpose. A purpose-driven approach ensures that every decision and action within an organization serves a meaningful objective, fostering alignment and coherence across different departments and initiatives. 2. The significance of purpose in guiding strategic decision-making processes. By grounding decisions in the overarching purpose of the organization, leaders can prioritize initiatives that are not only profitable but also contribute to the long-term vision and mission. 3. A purpose-driven strategy can enhance employee engagement and alignment. When individuals understand the broader purpose behind their work, they are more motivated, productive, and committed to achieving organizational goals. This alignment fosters a culture of collaboration and shared purpose, driving success at every level of the organization.

Investing in first line managers is often too far down the list of priorities. Just because they were good at their job doesn’t mean they will naturally thrive after promotion. You must invest in their performance - they’re depending on it.

People and Resources, what Predictive Index stands for. Two days ago, I attended the The Leadership Forum, themed "People and Resources". It was incredibly insightful, particularly the keynote by Chris Allen, who emphasized that managers influence 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores. At Lee Global Consulting, we are passionate about enhancing managerial effectiveness and optimizing employee engagement. Our tool, the Predictive Index (PI), is pivotal in achieving these goals. PI combines behavioral science with intuitive software, enabling stronger, data-backed decisions across the entire employee lifecycle. With PI, you can stop wasting time and resources on hiring mistakes, underperforming managers, and unwanted turnover. It's not just about managing better; it's about building a category-defining culture that thrives. We are excited to leverage such powerful tools and continue our mission to improve workplace dynamics and performance at all levels. Thank you Josh Miekley 🏀 Miekly and The Leadership Forum team for such a valuable event, full of insights and with wonderful people! #TheLeadershipForum #Management #EmployeeEngagement #PredictiveIndex #LeeGlobalConsulting
