When it comes to advancement, look at the investment. ✅️ Executive Sponsorship = investment of relational capital ✅️ Coaching Program Sponsorship (or other specific, individualized learning program) = investment of monetary capital ❌️ Mentorship Program = .......🤷🏾‍♂️ 💡Ask for an investment in your advancement.

Building Culture Cross Department Building a culture of collaboration and cohesion across departments is essential for fostering an organization that is agile, innovative, and efficient. Leaders play a pivotal role in creating a shared culture that transcends departmental boundaries and encourages cross-functional teamwork. Building a cross-departmental culture requires intentionality and leadership. By leading with transparency, fostering mutual respect, creating opportunities for collaboration, and aligning shared goals, leaders can break down silos and encourage greater teamwork across departments. The key is to empower teams, communicate effectively, celebrate successes, and provide the tools and training necessary for sustained collaboration. When a collaborative culture is built into the organization’s DNA, departments will work more cohesively, innovate together, and ultimately drive the company’s success.

It's here!!! I am so excited to finally make this program public. The LMI team has worked tirelessly on this because we know that it is needed now more than ever. Statistics show the following trends of the need for this program: •Managers account for 70% of employee engagement variance •1 out of every 2 employees has left a job due to a manager •Those who receive daily feedback from manager are 3x more likely to be engaged than those who do once a year •Meaningful feedback provided to employees leads to 3.5x more engagement on average •42% of employees report having the opportunity to provide any feedback to their manager •60% of managers say they are NOT expert at developing employees and helping them •60% of managers think they are doing a good job of recognizing their team’s work but only 35% of employees share the same sentiment •Only 20% of employees say they receive feedback weekly, compared with 50% of managers reporting they deliver it weekly •Leaders are 56% more likely to experience extensive disruptive change in their organization than individual contributors •Managers are more likely than non-managers to be disengaged at work, burn out, and look for a new job •Those who trust their managers were 4.5x more likely to be engaged and 62% less likely to feel burnt out at work •High-performing companies are 5.2x more likely to invest in development coaching and 10.3x more likely to train and incentivize their managers to be coaches Development Coaching in Businesses provides the following results: •1.4x more likely to exceed financial targets •2x more likely to delight customers •3.2x more likely to be a place where employees grow, develop, and unleash their full potential •6x more likely to build skills needed for career growth •3.2x more likely to engage and retain employees •3x more likely to adapt well to change •2x more likely to innovate effectively If you want to better coach and empower your team members, then this is for you.

I am still abuzz from the ACI Executive Panel we ran last week, bringing other leaders (representing five different companies) in to talk about the impact of this work, how they're using it inside their organizations, what they're learning, and core best practices. This panel essentially turned into a masterclass in how to make "energy work" (which is now starting to become more popular, more soon on this one) REAL in your leadership and organization authentically and responsibly in a way that lasts and is not just another "flavor of the month" training. These executives dug deep into the idea, and the art, of BEING leadership vs. DOING it (part of the IEP Method's core stance), and shared that IEP is impacting these organizations in the areas of safety, workforce well-being, resilience, training & development, culture transformation, innovation, communication, leadership impact, meeting quality, time usage, and more. The conversation was so rich that I'll likely be conducting follow-up interviews with these leaders 1:1 to explore the financial and energetic impact of their application in more depth. Thank you again to our panelists and also to Jenny Wiley our Director of Programming & Community Growth for your incredible facilitation. If you are a client/IEP user and would like to be on a future panel, please reach out. We'd love to have you. It is THE best way to share this work and make it real! You can find the video and all the goods on our site.

I get the underlying tone here...that we're caught up in semantics that don't really mean anything. That part resonates deeply! It's not one big buzz word. I can empathize with the desire to shake this up and get people energized about inclusion. Inclusion work is hard, and mastering it will go a long way! 👏🏾   ...But (I know you saw that coming), what are we saying when we drop the E? When I define the words behind the acronym they each have an important place in talent strategy work. 🔦 Diversity says your differences are valued here. You don't have to have the same identity or background to join our team. 🔦 Inclusion says your perspective is valued here. You don't have to fit a prototype to enjoy working here. You can have a voice, feel safe and connected. 🔦 Equity says you can have access here. You don't have to have a certain identity to excel, advance and expand your sphere of influence. Keeping the E requires two things of leaders... ✅ We're willing to be ACCOUNTABLE to address the disparity in our demographic data. This means, we ensure identity is not correlated to access...more specifically, that your race and ethnicity aren't the best predictors for whether or not you can have a salary increase, a promotion, a mentor, or any other opportunity that seems to be available to the few.   ✅ We're willing to DISRUPT the way we've always done things because the data shows it only works for some...and guess what that "some" has in common...yes, identity. Y'all, the data has not changed 😫 At this point, you can't say you haven't seen the studies. Women and people of color (especially black women) continue to be excluded from access, even though we are dripping in competence! My good friend, Nina Bhatia constantly sends me cross-sector talent data in case you're looking for #receipts. She's the GOAT at this.   Dropping the E says...yeah, we aren't really worried about that data. If marginalized groups remain marginalized, that's not our problem. Wait, what?!? I would love to better understand how equity fits into their repackaged initiative. I hope safe space was created for diverse voices to weigh in on their new direction. But based on the comments...I'm not the only one who is cautiously optimistic here. 🤔 Please don't go about dropping the E from your acronym...unless you never really intended to be accountable and disruptive in the first place. In that case, your candor is clarifying and much appreciated. We were absolutely wondering if you really meant it. #culture #dei #equitycentered #leadershipfail #peopleleadership
