What do you think your Insurance Agents do when you're not watching? According to Douglas McGregor, former social psychologist and management professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, most leaders have inherent assumptions about employees - described by two theories - 👉 Theory X These are based on negative assumptions of employees - that they're lazy, tend to avoid work and responsibility. Leaders with this mindset motivate through rules, incentives, and defined consequences. 👉 Theory Y Is based on positive assumptions about employees - that they enjoy their work, are self-motivated and willing to put more efforts when in control. Such leaders realize all they need is to create a supportive environment and provide relevant opportunities. ❓ Which theory best describes you? Your business decisions could vary based on which theory you support. Like the software you choose. 🤔 Does your software showcase your trust in your GCC insurance agents and supports them or is it something that monitors their activities like a suspicious leader? worxogo can support your well-intentioned agents - with the power of AI and behavior science to help them self-manage their behaviors and succeed!

When I learned about wormholes, I understood that one can travel in space-time infinitely faster. Later, I came across the closed timeline curve, a wormhole that sends you back to the initial stage. My theoretical physics metaphors will end here. Because I work in insurance. And that's exactly where our industry is stuck. We take one step forward and then fall two steps back. 😔 This cycle has to stop. Now. The insurance industry needs a radical overhaul. We need real-time risk management, personalized protection plans, and AI-driven insights. Insurance should predict and prevent risks before they occur, not just pay out when it's too late. Tailored, real-time coverages are the future. 📊🛡️ Encourage your teams to think outside the box. Invest in cutting-edge technology and foster a culture of relentless improvement. Leadership isn't just about decisions. It's about sharing bold visions and aligning the teams behind them for execution. Progress demands transformation, not stagnation. #InsuranceRevolution #InnovateToLead #RiskManagement ——————————— 🎤 I write about leadership, wellness, and the role of insurance in changing the world.

Wow! The trifecta of news headings… a murder, AI, and corporate greed. This is becoming interesting. Some early reflections and lessons for us: ➡️ Leaders, how are we leading our organisations? Are we over serving one stakeholder group at the expense of another? How much time do you spend with each in a month? Is the mission maximizing impact or profit? Do you believe businesses are expected to deliver on a triple bottom line these days? ➡️ AI is neutral. It just does what it’s designed to do. Don’t blame the tech, it takes on the ethics of the users. All new tech is abused because it provides outsized leverage over the old paradigm. Crime, war and bad politics lead the way. Look at the online scams and disinformation around us today. It’s far easier to apply tech for self gain than solving for cancer or climate change. Be aware how others are using it and manage the risk. ➡️ Competition is good.. until it’s not. Over competition can create desperate outcomes for people to cheat and try to win at all costs. Do we need more transparency or regulation or perhaps just better leaders? How can we disincentivise bad actors? How can leaders work with competitors and regulators to change the system to improve game outcomes rather than game the system for selfish advantage? Leadership is becoming a profession that is complex, much like financial services, medicine and law. The potential for damage is huge given the responsibility of CxOs. Yet we allow leaders to operate without proper training or ‘licence’ to operate. Business, military and politics alike, leadership is clearly one domain where throwing money doesn’t equate to quality. Note to Boards: Is it time to rethink executive compensation and targets more radically? #leadershiochoices

New article alert: Michele Grosso, our CEO, writes about a new insurance culture that’s emerging. —- If for years the insurance industry has been synonymous with tradition and conservatism, today we are seeing how things are finally changing. A new type of insurance culture is emerging, one where people are excited (and not scared by) technology and see the potential of digital solutions to address the complex challenges they are facing today and in the future. This transformation is driven by forward-thinking leaders, who are trying to get their teams thinking that way, too – shaping a culture where people look beyond the standard insurance toolkit. The “no’s” don’t stop them; on the contrary, they challenge them. Link to article, in the comments >>> #digitaltransformation #culture #innovation #insurtech #insurance

Life can change in an instant, and that is exactly what happened for a business owner who I have had the opportunity to work with, get to know, and call my friend. Their sudden health challenge was a wake-up call for all of us. As business owners, we often put our businesses before ourselves, but it’s crucial to prioritize self-care. Here are 4 important steps to consider: ✅ Prioritize Your Health: A healthy leader is a productive leader. ✅ Create a Contingency Plan: Ensure your business can operate smoothly in your absence.

This type of insurance can be a lifeline during critical times. ✅ Automate and Document Processes: Having clear, documented processes and automated systems can ensure business continuity. Remember, taking care of yourself is taking care of your business. Let's prioritize our well-being and safeguard our hard-earned enterprises. See 👀 # 5 on my second educational recipe.

The true measure of "innovation" in the insurance industry will be the observable changes in mindset and human behavior on both sides (insurers and policyholders/potential ones). Adopting this perspective as a defining characteristic of innovation is valuable: it represents the culmination of changes across the entire insurance value chain, rather than being a singular cause or incremental tweaks of behavioral change. Incremental innovations have never led to significant shifts in how people allocate or spend their time. In contrast, major innovations have consistently brought about substantial changes in human behavior and incentive designs. #insurance #insurtech #innovation #businessdesign #culturaltransformation #leadership

Great insights from Scott Ham in his latest thought leadership piece. Here are a few key takeaways: ⚖ Insuring people more appropriately, rather than exiting a market to alleviate profitability and rating constraints, is fairer and better serves all stakeholders, including customers. 💡 Utilizing individualized predictive intelligence allows carriers to more precisely identify and quantify risks, placing policyholders into the appropriate tiers without the need for continuous premium increases or drastic market exits. 📈 The challenges of achieving sustainable profitability amidst rising costs of claims, litigation, and social inflation require adapting to new or growing risks. By failing to utilize new technologies and intelligence, insurers miss the opportunity to build stronger companies and fulfill their obligations to stakeholders.
