Great webinar last week sponsored by UKG and Fortune magazine that featured three CEOs of organizations ranked as “Best Companies to Work For” by Fortune. These rankings are based on the UKG Great Place to Work (GPTW) “trust index“ employee survey. The webinar also included Michael Bush, the GPTW CEO and was moderated by Alan Murray, Fortune’s CEO. Even though these are private sector CEOs, there is a lot to learn from these organizations that applies to all sectors. I was especially struck by the comments of Ed Bastian, the Delta CEO. I fly Delta a lot and I trust the airline to keep me safe and treat me well. Several years ago, I heard Bastian say that he believes his number one job as Delta’s CEO is to “take care of our people.” In my speaking about how to become a great place to work, I often quote him, and I was happy to hear him emphasize this commitment again in this webinar. Next time you board a Delta airplane, look at the fuselage and you’ll see placards proudly proclaiming that Delta has been designated as a best place to work by about a dozen separate organizations, including Great Place to Work. I’m confident that this achievement is driven by a #CEO who believes that his number one job is to take care of Delta’s #employees – all 100,000 of them. Organizations that have #leaders, including in #government, who believe their job is to take care of their people will be employers of choice that attract and retain #talent. Bastian also said that in order to compete for talent, Delta has eliminated college degree requirements for almost all jobs. They assess candidates for skills and not just paper qualifications. The comments from the GPTW CEO, Michael Bush, are also relevant to government. GPTW strives to create great places to work for all. In #publicsector organizations, which are often the most diversified employers occupationally, it is critical that all employees, including the #frontline people who deliver essential public services, feel valued and trusted. It was clear that all of the webinar participants are sincerely committed to the #wellbeing of their employees – that’s why they are best places to work. https://lnkd.in/gHim6Zjp Carol Lawrie-Ballou Beatriz Mitchell UKG Great Place To Work US Delta Air Lines Fortune Patrick Bennett Bryan Peck Lisa Juley Dr. Jarik Conrad Linda Misegadis, CPP, CPM, CCM, IPMA-CP National League of Cities PSHRA NASPE Karla Wilkins ICMA - International City/County Management Association NASPE Blair Corcoran de Castillo Andrea Velez-Greene

Ever wondered how to transition into a C-level executive role?? For so many talented leaders, getting to that next level isn’t just about more hard work; it’s about strategy, positioning, and timing. Here are some critical steps to transition into an executive role: 1️⃣ Build a Strategic Network Connect with other executives and influencers in your industry. They often know about openings before they're posted. 2️⃣ Strengthen Your Personal Brand Make sure your LinkedIn profile and resume scream “executive material.” Highlight achievements that showcase vision and leadership. 3️⃣ Gain Cross-Functional Experience The best C-level leaders understand various facets of a business, so seek out roles or projects that broaden your perspective. Moving into the C-suite is a journey that requires planning and finesse, but the rewards are worth it. 🌟 Does it helped? #CareerAdvice #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #CLevelRoles #CareerGrowth

Resistance (internally and/or externally) to organizational Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion efforts will likely continue regardless of who wins the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Rather than combat resistance with generic DEI business case data, ask insightful questions that pertain specifically to your organization, its key stakeholders, and its strategy: https://lnkd.in/eEgBdrYA This version of the i4cp People-Productivity Chain™ model--framed in questions specific to your organization’s Strategy, Market, Talent, Leadership, and Culture--will help you turn a potential destructive argument into a constructive and strategic business discussion. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #DEI #HRleaders #i4cp
