An organizational culture that looks to fix blame is less likely to find and solve problems than one geared toward candor and collaboration. Having worked in dozens of environments over the past two decades, I've personally seen the impact organizational culture can have on the moral and overall effectiveness of a team. CGI Federal's Patrick Cronin explains how to maintain a healthy culture in this new blog. #ServiceDelivery @OCM

Whether you're in a workforce planning role, considering implementing workforce planning at your organization, or just curious about the topic, this panel with Michael Walsh, PhD Dan Lezotte, and me from #SIOP24 is packed with pragmatic insights. My top 10 nuggets include: 1) Balancing data with pragmatism 2) Focusing on the business problem, first and foremost 3) Being flexible and adapting to the business context and needs 4) Don't lead with technology; get the process right first 5) Perfect data is not required to get started and add value 6) Don't let workforce planning become an analytical or science experiment 7) Stakeholders from the Business, as well as Finance and Strategy, are critical 8) Segment talent and focus on roles that have a force-multiplying effect 9) Infer future skill needs from role-level workforce plans; don't start with skills in your planning models 10) Strategic workforce planning should be the "tip of the spear" of a excellent talent strategy Link to session recording here. https://lnkd.in/gtr6TZYf Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) #SIOP24 #talentmanagement #workforceplanning

😯 71% of US CEOs say they feel like imposters 🤔 I know I was surprised to see that stat #KornFerry shares from a recent survey! And, the higher up the org chart someone ascends, the more acutely they feel imposter syndrome. What is behind this? It's not a lack of confidence or experience. Rather it's the massive number of significant challenges simultaneously: 🤺 transform their organizations 🤺 be the culture carriers 🤺 figure out the role of #AI in their business 🤺 navigate geopolitical challenges 🤺 satisfy investors 🤺 speak to social issues So the combo of being confident AND humble is effective. This opens up the path to know you don't have all the answers and you don't need to pretend. A few suggestions to up your odds of success: 👉 hire direct reports that push you up vs you pulling them up 👉 have an "advisor" or #peeradvisory trusted group where you can share your challenges and gain perspectives and d options 👉 learn how to tap into your creative side 👉 be intentional about staying healthy (sleep, diet, exercise, meditation) How else might you do to manage your imposter syndrome? Thanks to Korn Ferry for the survey and the tips! Article link in comment section! #CEOs #BUSINESSOWNERS #EXECTUIVE #IMPOSTERSYNDROME

"Culture isn't just one aspect of the game; it is the game." - Lou Gerster Fact: Cost cutting and efficiency will only get you so far. I've never seen a company cost cut their way to excellence. This is exactly why I take issue with the PE industry. On the whole, its myopic focus on cost and efficiency disables companies of the very thing that makes them successful - value creation. Value is created by humans. Humans exist inside of a culture. If that culture doesn't foster creativity, innovation and human thriving, the only race the company can win is the race to the bottom. The data is abundantly clear on this, and Greg tells the story well.

Which one of these three things are American leaders missing? I had so much fun discussing this with John Frehse, Senior Managing Director of Labor Strategies at Ankura, at Hamptons Tech Week. During our fireside chat, we explored the three essential elements of workplace culture and trust-building. How do you stack up in these three elements? #HamptonsTechWeek #CultureInTech #Leadership

Maximus's story in the movie Gladiator teaches us a valuable lesson: our decisions, big or small, have a profound impact on our daily lives and the legacy we leave behind. As he so powerfully says, "What we do in life echoes in eternity." (Gladiator, 2000) One of the most poignant moments in the movie is when Maximus is forced to write a letter to his wife, knowing that it may be his last communication with her. He faces a difficult decision: to reveal his true identity and risk everything, or to remain silent and protect his family. This moment shows us that our decisions are not just about ourselves, but also about the people we care about and the world around us. As Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and philosopher, wrote in his Meditations, "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." (Meditations, Book 4, Section 22) And let's not forget the wise words of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who said, "The pen is mightier than the sword." (1839) Our words, ideas, and written decisions can shape the world around us in ways we never thought possible. Just like Maximus, we face decisions every day that can either empower or hinder our progress. Whether it's taking on a new challenge, speaking up in a meeting, or simply showing up with purpose, our decisions matter. As Maximus himself says, "I will win the crowd. I will give them something they have never seen before." (Gladiator, 2000) Let us strive to make decisions that will leave a lasting impact and inspire others to do the same. We make decisions that: - Align with our goals and values - Drive growth and innovation - Stand up for what we believe in, even in the face of adversity Own your decisions. Shape your legacy. Write your story with purpose, passion, and courage! "Every decision you make, every action you take, is a vote for the person you want to become." - Josh Shipp #Gladiator #DecisionsMatter #Leadership #Legacy #Purpose #MarcusAurelius #Ownership #GoalSetting #Innovation #Character #Relationships #Impact

More great content from Barrett/Greene and Route Fifty, this time on why #publicsector organizations need to conduct #workforceplanning. As the authors point out, one estimate is that 80% of jobs will change as a result of #AI. That means understanding future #talent needs – and meeting them – is more important than ever. This is especially true in #government, which must meet the challenge of attracting and retaining talent in a labor market that will continue to be highly competitive for years to come. The article also focuses on the need for accurate and comprehensive #data as the basis for workplace planning -- and for systems that integrate data from various sources. That resonates strongly with us at UKG because a big part of what we do for our thousands of public-sector customers is provide the tools and technology that enable them to collect, analyze and act on #workforce data. As an organization that specializes in human capital management systems, we are all #HR, all the time. But we also know that people are what drive organizational success and create great places to work. Hence our motto “Our purpose is people.” And thanks, as always, Katherine and Rich, for including my comments in this important article. https://lnkd.in/dA52jqBW Barrett and Greene Inc.

DoD and IC learning leaders are major players in AI adoption. However, sometimes they don't know where to start. This article from Dr. Jill Stefaniak on "L&D Strategies for Practical AI Implementation" is a good place to start. I am drawn to #3 on her list about ethical AI training. As she indicates from one survey she references, most people don't know if there are ethical AI guidelines that should be followed. What are your thoughts?

I have always been a strong promoter of a Chief Transformation Officer role, and a recent study confirms its positive impact on company performance. I wonder though how much bigger the impact could be if there was an even stronger focus on the human side of transformations and if the underlying "costs" of those programs would not go down significantly #Transformation #BusinessPerformance

We see very few good quality talent strategies. We see lists of things to do. We see vague promises. We see headings with no detail. Let's identify the few most important things that HR/talent needs to deliver and make those a reality. Our article tells you exactly how to do that. #HR #CHRO #SHRM #CSHRM #i4cp https://lnkd.in/dA345kJH
