Let's Grow Leaders

Oh he’s good. Very good. He gets sh__ done. It’s hard to argue with the results. So what if he’s ruffling a few feathers… with his team, with his peers, with HR, with IT? The better he does, the better you look. And so you choose to look the other way, shrug your shoulders and chalk it up to the cost of genius. And that may work.

“Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.” ~Robin S. Sharma~. Client Lorenzo asks: I’ve worked hard to improve my perception and increase my visibility in my company, and I feel I’ve succeeded.

When private companies begin using military jargon to describe their organizational challenges, then it’s clear that something has shifted in the business landscape. Specifically, the term “VUCA,” is being heard in more private companies, a military term which stands for volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. While it once may have been mostly confined to military operations and training, it’s now being bounced around businesses as more teams deal with a volatile and uncertain marketplace.

On a daily basis, who do you interact most with at work? Chances are, it's the people sitting next to you, or those on your team. If you're lucky, these are good relationships and you don't secretly wish the person harm (just a mild case of shingles, perhaps). Still, even the best relationships at work require some management, and that's why it's important to learn to "manage sideways.

And yes, he gave me permission to tell you this. He doesn’t care.

The rise of autonomous vehicle technology is likely to pose a significant challenge to the radio business. With their newfound freedom from driving, passengers may forgo radio for more immersive experiences: watching video or virtual reality content, or working on laptops, or playing games on phones.

Inventive Problem Solving
FEBRUARY 21, 2017
There is a single question that I'm asked over and over again. "Why do businesses continue to use the same tired, ineffective and frustrating processes to solve their problems when they just don't seem to work?" The answer that I give is simple. They continue to use these ineffective techniques because they just don't have a better way. It seems that many business teams will use a "Vanity Metric" to convince themselves that they've been successful.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
