Every leader eventually faces the decision to retire, and knowing the right time can be challenging. When I became CEO of Medtronic, I began contemplating my departure just two months into the role. Observing my predecessors, it was clear that company performance and transformational leadership tended to decline after the 10-12 year mark. For more insights on recognizing when it’s time to step down, check out this article by The New York Times Dealbook and Andrew Ross Sorkin: https://bit.ly/3Y9VaF5

How do you do both well? In this new Power Presence Academy podcast episode, I talk to Ian Ziskin board member, former CHRO of a multi-billion dollar corporation, President of EXec EXcel Group LLC, and the lead author of the book, The Secret Sauce for Leading Transformational Change.

Talent isn’t just an HR responsibility; it’s the driving force behind strategic execution, performance, and transformation. 💡 As Jackson Lynch rightly points out, boards must be proactive in evaluating talent and holding leadership accountable for measurable outcomes. It's not enough to assume that talent evaluation processes are in good hands; we need to be asking tough questions like, “What criteria were used to evaluate this candidate?” and “How do we assess leadership effectiveness in real-time?” When boards bring the same rigor to human capital oversight as they do to financial metrics, they unlock the full potential of their organizations. joe gonzalez BCA, Executive Recruiters Cecelia Gonzalez

Is your organization's approach to talent development leaving your leaders unprepared? At educational and not-for-profit organizations, the leadership ladder often does not provide exposure to the problems, context, and operating environs that CEOs and heads of school navigate most of the time. As a result, many new leaders are caught off guard. In the most recent issue of The Blueprint, we take a look at ways to "Raise the Bar"—including ways your board and leadership can work together to actively transform the opportunities for talent development in your organization.

Great article on importance of HR executive leadership in business today. Don’t think missing the fundamentals of people and organization doesn’t negatively impact a company’s financials and brand reputation.

Leadership and team development are PREVENTATIVE CARE for the culture of your organization. Culture Refinery has had the pleasure of supporting a major unit within a global Fortune 100 manufacturing company for the last six months. We came together to work with their leaders on key inclusive leadership competencies, including emotional intelligence, power equity, and psychological safety — important topics for managers to master at any time, but discussions that were made all the more crucial when news of an upcoming layoff began to circulate throughout the organization. The work itself was instrumental in preparing them to handle the situation at hand. When the layoffs did come to pass, the team had developed a strategy for protecting the psychological safety of the remaining employees. But beyond that? The biggest feedback we received was that they didn't feel like they were alone. Having a supportive partner in place can mean the difference between disarray and resilience. Don't wait for layoffs to invest in this support. #Culture #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety
