Effective management is all about successfully achieving the long and short term goals while guiding everyone towards the vision of the organisation. However, it is easier said than done. As a manager, having a management system that fulfils your goals and at the same time, maintains the balance to keep the employees happy can be difficult. Organisations can adopt different styles of management, but it all comes down to the fact of how effective these styles are turning out to be.

Without question, one of the skills to succeed at leadership is being an effective communicator. And one of the best ways to communicate a vision is through the use of storytelling. So how can we use this tool more effectively? That's the focus of this latest episode of my leadership podcast “Leadership Biz Cafe”. Of course, being both a keynote speaker and writer, the art of storytelling and using stories to convey an idea or concept is something I'm quite familiar with.

Coming up with a great office party idea is a pain in the ass. Not only does it have to be fun, but also light on the pockets. And let’s face it, isn’t a big chunk of employee branding all about office parties? Be it a holiday gathering or success celebration, office parties are now a norm (and a headache) for the human resources department. From deciding on a theme, maintaining the business etiquette, to making employees actually show up, putting up an office party is an uphill task.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Also, by the year 2020, half of all US workers will be comprised of millennials.

Misunderstood Corporate Strategies Undermine Success. Misunderstood corporate strategies threaten your success. A corporate strategy is the plan you create to achieve specific goals. Without the guidelines of a clear strategy , it is difficult for leaders and employees to collectively seek the right new opportunities, make aligned decisions, and conduct day-to-day business in a way that moves the strategy forward.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
