"The greatest gift we can give someone is for them to feel heard. Listen to your reactions . . . are they about you or the other person?"~@estherweinberg#ActiveListening https://t.co/5WBdccLmh2
. . . To make that leap, we've got to become much more in tune with trends that are happening in the marketplace.” ~ Stephanie Nash on ‘How a Human Capitalist Thinks’ in Activate the Third Space https://t.co/nNYIlwY7Rj #thoughtleadership
@Rajeshwar_T understands the challenges of the modern workplace. He’s the CHRO of Mahindra & Mahindra’s Automotive & Farm Equipment Sectors, which is a US$20 billion business with operations in >100 countries. In a recent interview with @Ester_Matters
“Our ability to sit with the CEO, to work with CEOs and CXOs, to execute the business strategy is now becoming one of the core functions of HR. I have to know what the business needs at what stage and how and where do I get it . . .
“At the end of the day, it’s not only understanding business, but it’s also an ability to work with a business to execute all of these strategies in a meaningful way . . .
. . . and very importantly, to shape all policies, processes and the #HR resources, tools, etc, which is aligned with the business strategy.”

Working with business units, as @Rajeshwar_T describes in conversation with @Ester_Matters , is a key part of making the jump from HR to Human Capital, as we discuss in Activate the Third Space (https://t.co/HPyKjYoDJ0). #The2ndSpace (making the jump to #HumanCapital)
Traditional forms of organizational structure and corporate culture have stopped serving anyone — not the leaders in charge, nor the team members reporting to them, and certainly not the organization overall. #hierarchy
I wrote 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒅 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 (https://t.co/HPyKjYoDJ0) because any enterprise can be transformed — no matter its purpose or where it’s located — so that every person takes personal responsibility for its success.
Let’s move out of ‘The First Space’ — say goodbye to ‘I say, You do’ hierarchy — and into the 2nd and 3rd Spaces, where #proactivity flourishes, people are truly valued and a psychologically-safe space exists to develop strategies and resolve issues.
