As an almost-15 year veteran with my organization with 25+ years of experience in my field, I really appreciate this approach. I can see this helping to bridge the age gap and softening the sometimes awkward friction that occurs between younger manager/older direct report. It’s helpful as an aging employee (aren’t we all?) as well to ask about the strategy and how new ideas and approaches fit in.

This is an excellent approach for a new leader to integrate and drive the necessary change. People are often resistant to change, and for a new leader to successfully implement change, it requires thoughtful strategies.

Culture Code is a phenomenal read for anyone in leadership within an organization. https://lnkd.in/gYgeGMA3 One of the principles I loved most about the book is the idea of "Belonging Cues".

STOP calling your Team a “family”. Because you’re not a family. - Families don’t have to let people go. - Families don’t monitor each other’s performance. - Families don’t get paid for their contribution. - Or leave because they’ve haven’t received remuneration or acknowledgment for that contribution. Instead, let's embrace the term 'team' to accurately reflect our collaborative efforts. A team operates based on mutual responsibilities and expectations, with each member contributing to achieve shared goals. Effective team leadership involves fostering a culture of accountability and recognising the value of individual contributions, ensuring that everyone is committed to pulling their weight for our collective success 🚀 🎯
