The different styles of leadership are equally important and needed in team dynamics. A recent discussion with the incredible collegiate businesswomen at Iowa State University - Ivy College of Business, on leadership styles truly was exciting and insightful! We explored the four main styles: authoritative, democratic, facilitative, and situational. > Authoritative: Providing clear direction and vision. > Democratic: Fostering collaboration and inclusivity. > Facilitative: Nurturing relationships and support. > Situational: Adapting to the ever-changing needs of the team. Remember, no matter your preferred style, you bring invaluable gifts to your team. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to share these insights! If you're eager to delve deeper into leadership or simply share your thoughts, I'm here to connect with you. Let's connect and continue this conversation! #leadership #relationships #business #IowaStateUniversity #authority #teamwork

Time is a key component of progress. In the DEIA space, it takes time to master the tenants of a successful effort that will produce the best return on investment. Nevertheless, your organization doesn’t want you to take 10 years to figure it out. Save time and generate more value when you and your team get certified as a CDP®️or CDE®️. Not only will your investment in credentials deliver bottom-line results sooner, you can also avoid activities that waste time and other precious resources. Act now: https://lnkd.in/eWjt7xg

Say What?? 18 Best Practices for Effective Communication – May 2024 I had a conversation with a CEO of a PEN member organization recently, in which he lamented the fact that his messages were just not getting through to employees – he was communicating, but the messages just weren’t sticking. So I asked him what channels he was using, to which he replied the normal ways: emails, a newsletter, occasional staff meetings, and sometimes “rounding” (walking around the halls, visiting and talking with staff). All of that seemed reasonable, so I asked him why he thought messages weren’t being received, and he said he just had a hunch because some employees were asking questions about things he had already shared. That prompted my next two questions: to what extent did he believe that his communication approaches were systematic (consistent, repeatable, and data-based), designed to get effective two-way dialogue going?  And was he measuring, evaluating, and improving the communication approaches – both the channels he was using as well as the messages themselves? He had no response because he didn’t know… I shared with him the old adage that you must “communicate seven times in seven ways” (actually, I read an article recently that said today it’s more like needing to communicate 12 or 14 times in 12 of 14 different ways to get your message across, given the noise of social media and the proliferation of information). Communication – like anything in an organization – is a process. Or should be.  The world of work has changed so much the last few years – with remote and hybrid workers, different generational preferences, an increasingly diverse workforce, advancement of technology and different communication channels – so it stands to reason that (at least some) communication best practices have changed too. And because ineffective communication leads to waste (Grammerly estimates $1.2 trillion – yes, with a “T” in lost US productivity due to poor communication), there is a massive ROI for communication. I did a little research and found 18 current or emerging best practices in communication that could help any leader at any level in any size or type organization... Read the rest of the article here: https://lnkd.in/gc_H--MF     And then come back here and add a comment -- we're trying to get two-way dialogue, as everyone has much to share!
