Creating Healthy Organizations Conference ’s Post

Before getting lost in the tall grass of HOW you design, Start with WHY you design.   WHY is your raison d’etre. Your reason for being. For doing what you do. It’s probably on the Home page of your website, and hopefully not too long-winded.   Tip: If you’ve never watched Simon Sinek’s TED Talk “How great leaders inspire action”, do yourself a favour and watch it NOW: https://lnkd.in/gBN4VPnv Sinek’s core message: Start with Why. There is a very good reason for the more than 66 million people that have watched this talk. Sinek nails it. You’ll remember his thinking until such time as dementia starts shutting off your lights. Maybe you’ll still be asking 'why?' when the lights finally all go out.   Why? Simple: Why you are in the A|E|C business should drive every aspect of your HOW? and then your WHAT? It is the sparkplug in the engine of your business. Keep it in plain sight for all those in your firm who are charged with realising your Why.

Harness the Power of Wisdom in Leadership 🌟 In the dynamic field of technology and executive roles, the quality of decision-making can define success. Today, as part of our #MentalFitness series on Positive Intelligence (PQ), we delve into the transformative power of the Sage—your inner source of wisdom and positive emotions. The Sage aspect of our personality enables us to lead with an enriched blend of empathy, creativity, and strategic insight. Leaders who tap into their Sage abilities find themselves not only excelling in problem-solving but also enhancing team dynamics and driving project success more effectively. Research in positive psychology supports that accessing these positive emotions and wisdom leads to greater cognitive flexibility and innovative solutions—key traits for navigating the complexities of the tech industry. To cultivate your Sage and leverage its benefits: Identify moments of high stress or critical decision-making. Pause and ask, “What insights would my Sage offer in this situation?” Apply this wisdom to lead forward with clarity and empathy. 🚀 Are you ready to elevate your leadership by integrating the principles of mental fitness and Positive Intelligence into your daily practices? Let’s connect and discover how these strategies can be tailored to optimize your professional effectiveness and personal growth. #PositiveIntelligence #LeadershipExcellence #TechLeaders #StrategicThinking #InnovativeLeadership

Here's why: I used to think hiding my emotions and "manning up" protected my team, but I learned that leaving emotions at home is old, uninformed thinking.

Companies committed to a thriving company culture leads to more than 4 X'S higher revenue growth! Changing times require a new way of navigating. Three powerful tools: -->> BRING YOUR EMPLOYEES INTO THE CONVERSATION OF CHANGE. If your employees are skeptical of what's to come, include and collaborate in the conversation. Get to know their excitement and fears regarding the future. -->> GREAT LEADERS DON'T IGNORE PROBLEMS. Employees crave clear direction. If you are ignoring problems at hand, you are creating a culture of uncertainty. Bring to the surface what you see, feel, and hear. Ignoring problems only creates more problems. -->> YOUR ATTITUDE MATTERS. As leaders, if you aren't excited about change, don't expect others to get on board. It's far easier to forge through resistance with motivation rather than intimidation. And remember, one step at a time.. Always forward movement. Let me know which of these you are working on. ------------------------------------------------ 🎤 Hi, I’m Sara.

🌎 Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're not alone. From juggling multiple projects and teams to navigating constant change and uncertainty, the demands of leadership can be relentless. Picture this: You're leading a high-stakes project with tight deadlines, while also managing a team dealing with internal conflicts. On top of that, you're expected to stay ahead of industry trends and make strategic decisions that could shape the future of your organization. Sound familiar? It's no wonder that many leaders find themselves on the brink of burnout. ❤️🔥 The pressure to perform can be overwhelming, leading to decreased productivity, strained relationships, and even physical and mental exhaustion. 🏜️ But here's the harsh reality: When leaders succumb to stress and burnout, the entire team suffers. Productivity plummets, creativity stalls, and morale takes a nosedive. Not to mention the long-term impact on your own health and well-being. That's why it's crucial to address this issue head-on. As a leader, you have the power to transform pressure into a driving force for success. 📅 And that's exactly what my upcoming webinar on May 9, "Converting Pressure into Power: The COR.E Blueprint for Ambitious and Sensitive Leaders," is all about. Join me as we explore real-life examples and practical strategies for navigating the challenges of leadership with resilience and grace. Together, we'll uncover how to thrive in the face of adversity and emerge stronger than ever before. 💪 Don't let stress hold you back from achieving your full potential.
