Where individuals and organizations align.

Your Circle Centered Moment:

Leading around self-regulation and resilience starts with you. What are you doing to cultivate BE’ing practices into your leadership and management tool-box? How can you invite others around you and on your team to step into leadership around this? Shared leadership IS the new way. Simply asking “what would be helpful for us to pause and center before we dive into this agenda?” is a powerful contribution and will also empower others to ask for this when they need it.

Gender Equality and Your Organizational Culture…

One of the largest employment jury verdicts in U.S. history was recently awarded against Memphis headquartered AutoZone, Inc. The jury awarded Rosario Juarez $185 million dollars in punitive damages ($25 million more than her $160 million punitive damages request) and another $872,00 for lost wages and emotional stress. The verdict included findings of gender and pregnancy discrimination, harassment/failure to prevent harassment and retaliation even though basic levels of training were in place. While AutoZone will eventually recover financially from this blow, what steps do they need to take to repair their reputation, ensure these kinds of violations don’t happen again and to restore employee trust and engagement? Training alone will not suffice. There will need to be a well-orchestrated plan to address the California Court’s and the EEOC’s concerns. And, what about your organization? What is your company doing to support its basic anti-harassment/discrimination policies? Statistics show that mere training is not enough. Successful companies use a combination of policies, consistent company messaging and modeling, organizational system design and strategic periodic professional development coaching and team facilitation as well as interactive and practical trainings. Now is the time to evaluate your culture and professional development plan. If you are ever in the position AutoZone found themselves in and are asked about what steps you took to support your training efforts to ensure they actually impacted your culture for a positive and safe work environment, what will you say?

Developing Creative Discontent- What kind of leader are you during these times of amazing change?

Harvard Business Review Bloggers Vijay Govindarajan and Jatin Desai insist these radical times require radical leadership qualities to keep an organization’s “innovation pipeline full.” This edgy blend of decisive and collaborative strategies mixed with ability to make key turns, or “pivots”, when the proverbial writing is on the industry walls- all are signs of the future leader. The article’s mention of “creative discontent” and how truly innovative leaders must work to create cultures that are never fully satisfied with the status quo. Surely the benefits of developing this kind of ever-improving culture are apparent and it takes a wise leader to know when to ease off the gas periodically during times of such constant change, otherwise you just create cultures of discontent and tired contributors. What do these innovative strategies look like on you as a leader and how do you personally cultivate the discernment to know when to push and when to affirm your work force? Radical times and radical leaders call for radical conversations. Let’s discuss…
