Research shows that a staggering 81% of cultural change initiatives fail. Why do so many of them end up unsuccessful? In my current reading of Leandro Herrero's book Viral Change, he sheds light on the power of peer-to-peer dynamics in driving successful culture change. Herrero emphasizes that peer-to-peer influence is the most powerful force in creating change, not top-down instructions. People change because they see others they respect doing things differently. #CultureChange, #OrganizationalTransformation

Henri Fayol is considered the founder of Administrative Management, and he introduced 14 principles that transformed how we think about leadership and organizations. One of the key lessons from Fayol’s work is that management isn’t just about getting things done; it’s a skill that can be taught and refined His 14 principles include concepts like: - Division of Labor: Specialize tasks to increase efficiency. - Authority: Managers must have the right to give orders and the power to ensure they are followed. - Unity of Command: Every employee should receive orders from only one superior. - Equity: Treat employees fairly to foster loyalty and productivity. Here’s the thing: everyone wants better management, right? More organized teams, clear goals, and faster execution. But here’s what you should be asking: Do you truly believe your current approach drives these outcomes? Are you focusing on the right principles to unlock your team’s potential? When someone dismisses a conversation about management improvements with “That’s not my priority right now,” it doesn’t mean they’re not interested in better leadership or organization. It means: - They don’t see your method as the best fit, or - They think they already have the right approach. Here’s how you could respond:  “Completely understand that you’ve already got a handle on things. Usually, this means either you’re using similar principles in your approach, or I didn’t do a great job of explaining how Fayol’s methods differ and bring value. Can I ask which of those applies to you?” Next time someone dismisses the importance of management principles, give this a try! Fayol’s insights are still incredibly relevant for today’s leaders. Ask yourself! are you using the right ones to drive your success? ♻️ Repost this to inspire your network ➕ Follow Harees Gurashi for more insights. #Leadership #Management #Operations

This is a timely reminder: leadership is built on trust. Great observations from Paul E. Wolfe in the post. 👇 When I hosted an HRCI webinar earlier this week, the question of trust came up. Q: How can we get employees to share their honest views when trust is lacking? A: You can't. As leaders we must build, preserve or restore trust before we can bring anyone anywhere.

The ripple effect refers to the cascading consequences triggered by a change, like a stone creating waves in a pond. In organizations, even small changes can impact interconnected systems, affecting teams, processes, and structures in profound ways. When changes are excessive or poorly managed, their ripple effects can disrupt stability, create confusion, and erode organizational health. Excessive changes from the top can create uncertainty, erode trust, and disrupt team alignment. Constant shifts in leadership strategies leave employees grappling with inconsistent directions, making it hard to focus on long-term goals. Over time, this unpredictability impacts morale and productivity, leading to a culture of hesitation rather than innovation. Similarly, sudden changes in retrospectives or sprint reviews can have a significant ripple effect. While retrospectives are meant to refine processes, when used to make abrupt or reactive changes, the results can be costly. Habitual, unchecked changes destabilize organizations—just like smoking harms health over time. These sudden shifts lead to instability, confusion, and inefficiency. The cost of such behavior is enormous. Constant adjustments disrupt workflows, delay timelines, and frustrate teams. Organizations that operate in a reactionary mode struggle to establish clear goals, leading to long-term stagnation. This is where coaching becomes essential. A coach isn’t someone who simply gives orders or enforces directives. A coach understands the ripple effect of change and works to prevent unnecessary disruption by guiding teams toward sustainable practices. Instead of imposing changes, the coach asks the right questions, facilitates reflection, and helps organizations navigate transitions thoughtfully. Coaching helps prevent unnecessary changes and encourages teams to focus on continuous improvement without destabilizing the organization. Thoughtful coaching ensures that change is managed with intention, fostering collaboration, innovation, and long-term success. #Leadership #Agile #Coaching #OrganizationalChange #RippleEffect Image taken from : https://shorturl.at/qv1Ts

The rule of 100 is a compelling idea: a small, consistent effort can lead to extraordinary results. But what does that look like in practice? For me, it's about writing. Every day, I dedicate 18 minutes to writing my thoughts down in an articulate way. As an immigrant, where English is not my first language and I wasn’t as proficient when I initially came to Canada so I needed a lot of practice to get where I am today. Some days it's journaling, others it's working on a short story, and sometimes it's just free writing to see where my thoughts take me. It's not always easy. There are mornings where I am just blanked and unable to put words in. But I've made a commitment to myself, and I stick to it. Why writing? It's how I make sense of the world, how I connect with others, and how I express my creativity. It's a skill I'm passionate about improving, and 18 minutes a day is a small price to pay for the progress I've made. The rule of 100 is a great motivator, but it's not just about being better than others. It's about pushing our own boundaries, discovering new depths within ourselves, and creating something meaningful. 18 minutes might seem insignificant, but compounded over time, it's transformative. It's a reminder that even small steps, taken consistently, can lead to a destination far beyond what we initially imagined. This is just one example, I’ve been applying this to build my other skill sets too. Another fun fact? To accelerate my progress, I've integrated AI tools into my writing routine. I use language models like Grammarly and ProWritingAid to catch typos and grammatical errors, ensuring my writing is polished and professional. I also experiment with AI-powered writing assistants, such as Jasper or Writesonic, to brainstorm ideas, generate outlines, and even draft entire paragraphs. These tools help me overcome writer's block and explore new creative avenues. My next goal that I’m working towards is basically using this same practice to solidify my French skills. What about you? What new skills are you working towards recently? #positivity #mehnazmotivation

"Networking is a lot like nutrition and fitness: we know what to do, the hard part is making it a top priority." - Herminia Ibarra   Have you ever attended a party, a professional meetup or industry conference whereby you didn't know a single person in advance? Were you able to work up the courage to put yourself out there and engage with complete strangers, or did you retreat into the fold? This scenario can understandably be extremely intimidating and raise anxiety levels for many. I can wholeheartedly empathize. Been there more times than I can count. I was actually way more introverted in my younger years before eventually breaking out of my shell.   As someone who has gradually learned to welcome unfamiliar social situations, I assure you the initial fear and hesitation is all in your head. And the upside of meeting new people far outweighs the initial hesitation. To add, effective networking is one of the top skills employers are seeking these days, so I encourage everyone to break the mold. And you just never know who you may cross paths with at some point along the way - maybe a new customer, possibly your next employer, perhaps even a friend for life. Learn to embrace the unknown. What do you have to lose? At the end of the day, humans are social creatures, right? I'd even argue socializing is part of our survival.   Within the past two weeks alone, I've attended a few local professional networking events with absolutely no idea of what to expect. Hadn't met anyone prior to showing up, but the time and effort was well worth it. Think of professional networking as an invaluable investment in yourself and your career. In fact, whenever anyone asks me for career advice, my response is always first & foremost: Network as if your livelihood depends on it! Pic: Shout out to Modern Sales Pros for the warm welcome and memorable experience last week in Chicago. Meeting folks like 🧠 Sridhar Ranganathan, Bennet Woodward, Richard Roy, Will Watters and many others was an absolute pleasure, so seize these types of opportunities - your career will thank you!

Hybrid work is here to stay, and many struggle to get it right. The consequences are significant. Our productivity, engagement, and well-being all hang in the balance. We need new attitudes, behaviors, and techniques. I wanted to learn more about how to succeed in a hybrid world. So I called my friend Jenny Moebius from Skedda. She’s my latest podcast guest on Lead the People powered by The Predictive Index. Jenny and I chitted and chatted about: > Why it’s time to end the Return to Office (RTO) debate. > The new bias that is threatening optimal working relationships. > Best-of-breed tools that make hybrid work effective and efficient. > and much more! If you have hybrid workers, you simply have to evolve your management. I hope you’ll have a listen. You can even hear Jenny dominate my ridiculous trivia question at the end. “How to Make Hybrid Work Productive and Engaging for All with Jenny Moebius” is now available on your favorite podcast platform and at http://mattpoepsel.com/88. 🎧 #Leadership #Hybrid #Remote #Podcast #TalentOptimization

I came a cross an inspiring post in linkedin. I read carefully and wanted to share it with you ❤️ " When fear shows up, do you freeze, run, or face it? Fear and anxiety sneak into our lives when we least expect it — in our health, our leadership, and in managing our teams. Anxiety stems from the unknown, and fear hits when we face familiar challenges. Both are natural, but we can’t allow them to control us. Living in constant fear drains not just our mental health, but also our leadership. It clouds our judgment, paralyzes decision-making, and steals our energy. Here’s what really matters: We don’t need to be fearless to be strong. True leadership, whether in life or work, is about managing fear, not avoiding it. Following has helped me well: 🌬️ Take a deep breath when fear strikes. 👁️ Acknowledge it—own it. 🔍 Focus on the facts, not the imagined fears. 💪 Reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and resilience. Leadership isn't the absence of fear; it's knowing how to walk through it with grace and strength. Every time we face our fears, we grow stronger—not just as leaders, but as human beings. "
