Amazing tips here from @McKinsey! Understanding where to focus your time and energy as a leader, or a team member, can aid in creating a #routine that not only serves yourself but others as well. #leadership #mindset

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

The best CEOs manage their personal effectiveness by adopting a mindset focused on three controllable dimensions: optimizing their time and energy, choosing an effective leadership model, and maintaining perspective. Learn more: https://t.co/Vy3sx2dkov #CEOExcellenceBook

Exploring ways in which your team can introduce more healthy #habits into the workplace can greatly help with retention and the overall #EmployeeExperience. Without these guidelines set in place, your team is much more prone to #burnout. @Forbes https://t.co/3oIc5TqAsZ

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Helping employees find a sense of belonging in the workplace leads to strong #engagement.

When we can help employees find their place within the #WorkEnvironment, it leads to stronger collaboration, #communication, and more. Great article from @HarvardBiz https://t.co/W8XHqkjhJC

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Is your team exploring #ChangeManagement strategies to the best of their ability? 💡

Exploring the different aspects of change (individually, culturally, and #technologically) can help your team find a grounded approach to transformation that works for them.

#Transformation

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Leaders committed to introspection can carry those benefits of #SelfAwareness through various aspects of the #WorkCulture. Understanding your team members & yourself as a #leader on a deeper level leads to authenticity in the work environment. @Forbes 💭 https://t.co/elshmQAVgg

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Assessing #risk in your organization's #strategy is paramount 👏

As noted here from @PwCUS, "Collaboration is critical to managing the complex risks of the future. Getting there requires establishing a single, shared view of risk across the three lines." https://t.co/iFYTSvR09m

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Why are empathetic leaders so important? 💭

Particularly in times of #change, employees need #leaders they know they can lean on. #Empathy provides them with:

- Open and kind communication
- A sense of authenticity
- An emotionally intelligent work culture

#communication

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Having a shared company #vision can take your team extremely far. The common understanding of #purpose is a great boost for #productivity, creativity, and healthy collaboration within your team. Instead of being laser-focused on products or revenue, establish a "why" first.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Shift your team’s mindset from “what” you’re building to “why” you’re building it. https://t.co/l60hgfAhel

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

It's true what they say – the only constant is #change.

#Transformation can leave employees feeling fatigued. Building more adaptability into the structure of a company lays a great foundation for teams to be more #empowered by change. @Forbes https://t.co/qAsKWWrMEd

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Happier employees make for a more #productive and creative workplace.

At @LifeGuidesNow, we know just how important employee #wellbeing is to the workforce. We approach employees from a point of care – letting them know that they are being looked after and #empowered.

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

A supportive workplace is an #inclusive one. Taking the time to create more inclusivity within a #WorkCulture helps to mitigate the risk of #burnout and fatigue among employees. Get genuinely curious about your team, and let them be heard! Great read @HarvardBiz.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Inclusive leaders are:
- Visibly committed to diversity
- Humble
- Aware of their own bias
- Curious about others
- Culturally intelligent
- Effective collaborators https://t.co/wn5wRx87cb

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Empathy never goes out of style 🔥

Since the pandemic, many #WorkCultures have experienced a huge shift in #empathy & #EmotionalVulnerability. Employees hope to feel valued, something that's not possible without shifting towards more empathetic tactics. https://t.co/E4u9GgZYkC

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Excellent read from @Accenture. Innovation takes a lot out of employees and leaders. Creating an environment equipped for rapid change requires a total mindset shift.

No matter where you are in your life journey, having someone there to #guide you can lead you to amazing places 🌟💭💪🏼

At @LifeGuidesNow, we explore various topics of growth with our clients, helping them to realize their #FullPotential and feel more confident within themselves!

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Change is inevitable, but it doesn't mean we have to lose #employees in the meantime. It's time we give them more #resources.

"Data now shows that the average employee experienced a whopping 10 planned enterprise changes in 2022, up from two in 2016." https://t.co/N5cLbtzE6T

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Excellent insight from @Accenture!

Cyber risks are an important part of creating workplace safety and #innovation. Leaders must understand how #AI can supplement the current #workflow to encourage growth – not replace it entirely. #CyberResilience https://t.co/lVyp0oKLPR

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

"First and foremost, leaders need to model curiosity, humility and an openness to change."

When leaders can embrace #innovation, flexibility, & other attributes that make #change possible, employees follow suit. Remember, it's about actions, not words. https://t.co/CLkV4Hia0o

@Bob_Moritz @PwC I absolutely loved hearing this story, Bob! Businesses can be a huge force in creating so much good in our world. Between investing in humanity, the environment, and sustainable workplace changes – every step counts. Thanks for sharing.

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

@Mercer_US Short-term goals often get overlooked. Employees place more emphasis on long-term goals, however, there is still a huge incentive to create benefits that align with the short-term approach as well. I like to think of these benefits as a huge investment in employees.

[Carolyn Gundersen @CarolyGundersen]

Change can be a huge factor in workplace #fatigue. 💭

At @LifeGuidesNow, we hone in on #humanity. Taking that extra bit of time to connect with people can help to create a sense of camaraderie and #trust that will be paramount as your company moves through big transformations.
