COMPANIES: "We pledge to foster #diversity #equity and #inclusion."

EMPLOYEES: "What about revamping job descriptions for #individuality, unique objectives for diverse talents, and programs for varied strengths?"

COMPANIES: "Errr…Not that inclusion... see our cupcake post.”🫠

#FEEDBACK is a gift 🎁

…but your reaction can either be the wrapping that invites others IN or the barrier that keeps their insights OUT.

Choose OPENNESS, choose GROWTH.

#FeedbackCulture #GrowthMindset

A company that stops prioritising #recruitment to save money is like a gardener who stops watering plants to save water.

Eventually, both will face a barren future.

Skills are teachable; passion, emotional intelligence and drive are not.

✅Allow people to bring their true selves to work
✅Deal quickly with toxic behaviours and poor performance
✅Strive to be high performing - help and (when required) push people be the best versions of themselves inside and outside of work
✅Provide growth and critical thought

Notes to my 25 year old self:

1) You’re building the foundation for your career.

2) Spend more of your free time with your parents and loved ones (family).

3) Don’t waste your talent by not putting in the effort now.

4) You’re on your way - Trust the process.

Success is not a destination but a journey, and hard work is the vehicle that drives us towards our goals.

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

How amazing is it seeing your success as a result of hard work that you’ve put in?

✅ High performers love being stretched.

✅ They enjoy winning but also love the process involved.

✅ They relish a challenge and the journey towards mastery.

Is there any better feeling than seeing your success as a result of hard work that you’ve put in?

✅ Great people love being stretched.
✅ They enjoy winning but also love the process involved.
✅ Great people relish both the challenge and the journey towards mastery.

Creating a high-performing team requires a combination of factors, including effective 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, clear 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 and objectives, a positive team 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, strong 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, and the right mix of 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 and 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

I’ve been silent on this for a while now but after recent events in the office I need to express the truth…which is that Chocolate combined with Orange or Mint is abhorrent and should be illegal.

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

If someone belittles you…they do it because they are intimidated by you.

Ask yourself why would they be afraid to see you succeed?

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

The number of toxic leaders and the resultant consequences cannot be ignored- and leadership training alone won’t solve the problem- no matter how many billions are spent on it.

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

Toxic leaders do damage because others turn a blind eye – or they’re supported by people around them.

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

Your company will never flourish with a culture of toxic leadership – and your job will become harder and harder.

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

Be a better version of yourself each day.

Immerse yourself in new situations:

- meet new people from different backgrounds
- develop new contacts
- build a diverse network.

[Mark Johnson @markjohnson_egm]

Diversity - Do YOU practice it in your personal life?
My guess is probably “no”.
And it’s making you less interesting. 😂
