Leadership

Written by: Charles E. Buban While searching for an ideal home, we sometimes find ourselves having to choose between high-rise condominiums and mid-rise communities, especially if we’re looking for an abode within the city. While towering condos look beautiful and mesmerizing, one cannot overlook the benefits of living in structures with few floors. A mid-rise condo presents a perfect compromise between the exclusive amenities of sky-high condos and the grounded accessibility, affordable prices, and the low density of horizontal subdivisions. In recent years, Filinvest Land, a leading and fast-growing full-range property developer, has strengthened its leadership in this segment it refers to as smart-value condos. Futura Monte Naga offers studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units Futura by Filinvest Making this possible is the developer’s Futura by Filinvest value-for-money brand of developments that now reaches 14 in total, composed of current and upcoming green, … [Read more...] about Filinvest Land strengthens leadership in smart-value condo segment

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Chief Academic & Learning Officer ( HCI Academy ); Chair/Professor, Organizational Leadership (UVU); OD Consultant (Human Capital Innovations) We’ve all been there: wading our way through yet another crummy workday, in a job that we are merely tolerating, in an organization that just seems to be lagging and slowly dying on the vine. Despite the best of intentions, leaders often inadvertently create lackluster workplace environments that are stagnant and fail to enculturate vision, mission, capacity and learning to help their teams not only survive but thrive. I once worked in such an organization, in a job that was, shall we say, lousy. The company was the epitome of stale bureaucracy, and the prominent leadership style was authoritative. My coworkers and I were constantly micromanaged, there was little to no trust between management and the employees and work each day was a slog. We got stuff done, but only … [Read more...] about Adaptive Organizational And Work Design For The Future Of Work

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Kevin Silva, Chief Human Resources Officer, Voya Financial . In today’s increasingly complex, global marketplace, the ability to draw on a wide range of viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experiences and expertise is invaluable. As a result, more and more companies are thinking about enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. In the last couple of years alone, the business case for DEI has become crystal clear. McKinsey & Company found in 2019 that businesses with high gender diversity on their executive teams were 25% more likely to have above-average profitability and that businesses with high ethnic and cultural diversity outperformed other companies by up to 36% in profitability. So how do you start the DEI journey and build an effective program? How do you maintain momentum with your DEI initiatives long-term? Building a solid DEI program is all about prioritization and … [Read more...] about How To Build An Effective Diversity, Equity And Inclusion Program

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Neena Newberry is the president of Newberry Solutions and creator of the New Lens leadership platform . Burnout is an increasing problem for all professionals, but it's even worse among managers. According to Gallup , burnout rates were flat last year for individual contributors (still an alarming 27%), though for people managers, rates rose from 28% to 35%. Those numbers reflect what I see day to day as an executive coach. When I’m working with a client who is experiencing burnout, I help them identify the underlying factors contributing to how they feel. The demands of their workplace contribute to burnout, of course. But so do their individual choices. And one choice they often overlook is how much they are willing to take off their plates and delegate to others. Like them, perhaps you feel a reluctance to delegate, even when your stress level is maxing out. To get past that reluctance, it helps to … [Read more...] about Why Delegating Helps Leaders And Their Team

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Abiola Salami is a performance strategist (CHAMP) providing valuable insights to high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs & politicians. One of the realities of today's world of work is that sometimes people end up working with a much younger boss. While it is true that age itself should not be a limiting factor, it's unhelpful to ignore the cultural issues, personal biases and practical concerns that may arise when you are older than your boss. For example, you may have conflicting perspectives on certain issues, especially if the age difference amounts to a generation gap. Another concern is the fact that your boss may not have sufficient experience to support your career development. In an employee survey conducted by Olivet Nazarene University, it was discovered that 36% of Baby Boomers have quit their job because of a Millennial boss, manager or colleague, and 52% have experienced age discrimination … [Read more...] about Six Emotional Intelligence Insights For Working With A Younger Boss

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Michael is a human resource consultant with Insperity . He specializes in team building, employee engagement and performance improvement. While employers have developed some creative strategies to expand the talent pool to attract and retain more workers—such as reaching out to former employees, scaling back hours to help retain Baby Boomers, practicing salary transparency in recruiting efforts and improving the employee value proposition—there is one approach that has received little publicity: targeting people who are "skilled through alternative routes," or STARs. STARs are adults without four-year bachelor’s degrees who have work experience and skills that translate to higher-paying jobs. According to [email protected] data, 50% of all U.S. workers fall into this category and "are well-positioned to fill middle and high-wage jobs across all sectors including in-demand" and emerging roles, such as software … [Read more...] about Leveraging Alternative Credentials To Expand The Talent Pool

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Rita L. Soronen, President & CEO, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption . Balancing scarce resources with the critical needs of those we serve through nonprofit organizations can drive formal research initiatives to the bottom of budget proprieties. It may feel wasteful to pay for research-based activities when, for example, children in foster care are waiting to be adopted, families are homeless or food insecurity is a daily reality—there are so many in need of help but scandalously few dollars available. As a result, the nonprofit mindset is often one of scarcity—we are working hard to fill basic unmet human and community needs, attempting to solve profound programmatic system failures created by a lack of resources and accomplishing that based on donated kindness. But if we don’t know what is truly working, at an evidence-based level, even with our best efforts, are we somehow contributing to the continued … [Read more...] about Using Research To Measure Success

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Chief Creative Officer of The Training Arcade & The Game Agency (a division of ELB Learning) - exciting, engaging and educating learners. Just a few years ago, many people thought of their workplace as a second home. Colleagues were the people that we sat next to every day, went out to lunch with, talked to about personal issues, and vented to about work and life. Almost overnight, that feeling of community disappeared as we all hunkered down in our homes and everything changed. Even as we continue to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is a complex time to run a business. Executives are tasked with managing increasingly geographically dispersed teams, a hybrid work model that includes both remote and in-office roles, concerns surrounding both inflation and economic recession, mental health concerns and, for the first time ever, five distinct generations in the office—all with different needs and … [Read more...] about Building Back Our Sense Of Community In A Hybrid Workplace
