Bumping up this article from BCG managing directors, Paul Goydan and Kevin Kelley, "Don’t Wait for a Crisis to Reduce Costs." (link to HBR in comments) My biggest takeaways pulled from the piece: 1️⃣ There are two critical reasons for costs creeping back up: most organizations fail to address the root causes of their cost challenges, and most lack the discipline required to manage them holistically and continuously. 2️⃣ The first dynamic is that most managers are not incentivized to deliver cost performance. In the absence of a mechanism that forces them to evaluate the ROI of their spending, such as P&L accountability, managers will drive higher team budgets, regardless of broader cost goals or efficiency directives. 3️⃣ Reset your organization’s design: Revisit P&L responsibility to ensure that managers are accountable for performance and are empowered to help your company lower costs. Establish measurement and governance processes (as well as incentives) that will make leaders who lack direct P&L accountability answerable for specific, value-adding returns.

Trust is an important currency in organizations How would you wisely invest time in building trust? By focusing on these three elements: (I) Create positive relations with other people. I would simplify: truly care about them. (II) Make great decisions. To have a good judgment, it is important to understand the technical aspects of work and have depth of experience. (III) Walk the talk. Do what you say you will do. Set a good example.

If you are leading a team, large or small, there is no substitute for building trust with your people. Without it, no amount strategy, technical expertise or enthusiasm is going to drive the team to high levels of performance. A lack of trust in leadership leads to discontent and organizational instability. This author does a nice job of outlining the key components of trust. I would add to the Transparency. Be quick to share good news with people; be quicker to share bad news. That kind of honesty, coupled with a clear plan to overcome challenges, builds trust like little else. #trust #leadership #peoplemanagement

📍 I feel the content of the below article is more relevant in tough times, where we need the trust of the people to propel forward. But for that leaders need to demonstrate these three key elements; 1️⃣ 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 - Stay in touch on the issues and concerns 2️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭/𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 - Be well-informed & knowledgeable 3️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 - Walk the talk and do what you say 💡 There is no 99% trust and 1% distrust. Once we lose it, difficult to regain, and the 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫. Once broken you may fix it, but the cracks are visible. #trust
