Navigating a relationship with a manager you perceive as ineffective or unqualified can be daunting, but it can also be a catalyst for growth. Rather than allowing frustration to erode your engagement and productivity, shift your focus to what you can control. You may not have control over who you report to, but you can control the beliefs, assumptions, and narratives you create about the situation, as well as the impact of your behavior on those around you.

A well-designed HR investigation template can make a real difference when it comes to handling workplace complaints. Not only does a structured approach keep the process on track, but it also helps build employee trust that issues will be handled fairly. Right now, though, that trust is lacking.

Retaining top talent is crucial for any organization’s success. However, even the most skilled and dedicated employees can become disillusioned if their leaders exhibit certain detrimental habits. While many leaders focus on attracting top performers, it’s equally important to recognize the behaviors that can drive them away. Understanding these leadership pitfalls is essential for fostering a thriving workplace where top talent can excel and feel valued.
Speaker: Radhika Samant and Todd Wuestenberg
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.

For 2024, that book is, Be The Unicorn: Data-driven Habits That Separate The Best Leaders From The Rest , by William Vanderbloemen (founder and CEO of Vanderbloemen Search Group). Even though this book came out in late 2023, it is better than any other leadership book I read during 2024, so that is why I choose it.

A S our recent history has shown us, disruption does not happen linearly. We can’t expect change to be an extension or an improvement on what we already know. As Terence Mauri puts it in The Upside of Disruption , we must rethink everything. “We can’t have resilient leadership without deliberate and sustained rethinking.” We become irrelevant, trapped in our past successes.

Sincere managers unintentionally take responsibility for other people’s jobs. People get dumb and weak when you solve problems for them.
