Senior Leader Priorities

In the last episode, we talked about productivity. In this episode, we are going to talk about how to live in the now and focus on the future. I remember a mentor of mine once told me, “live in the now but ensure you are always planning for the future.” I took that as having to divide my time planning and looking at the future more to shape conditions, resource critical friction points, and develop branch and sequel plans in case things didn’t go as planned. In this episode we examine the top

In the last episode, we talked about a trend that is still prominent in this year and is growing, which is employee well-being! If you haven’t heard that one, I would recommend that one. In this episode, we are going to take another approach and that is about productivity. Specifically, about email management. Before you scoff and change and you turn this off - just hear me out. I was reading a quick blog on the Mckinsey and Company page and there was a quick article that talked about - Taking

2023/04/14

In this episode, we are going to build upon the past two episodes with the capstone of the series with “Investing into our people and helping them achieve personal growth and development.” So recapping: In the first episode of the miniseries, we talked about establishing organizational trust and how important that is in the foundations of relationships we build with people. Then we talked about caring about the people we work with genuinely and being servant leaders for our teams. But none of that

Part 2: Someone Cares!! Building Employee Engagement.

Tim Stating the Obvious ·

2023/03/31

In this episode, we are going to talk about the second layer of our strategic triangle to build employee engagement, and that is through servant leadership…or as I like to call it - Someone Cares! They say the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged workers in the U.S. is 1.9 to 1, down from 2.1 to 1 in 2021 and 2.6 to 1 in 2020. The annual record high is a ratio of 2.7 to 1 in 2019. So that means basically for every 3 employees, you will have 1 who isn’t engaged. You may think well that isn’t bad

2023/03/17

In this episode we talk about Employee Engagement. Employee engagement refers to the level of commitment, involvement, and enthusiasm that employees have for their work AND let me stress AND their organization. Engaged employees are passionate about what they do. They FEEL a sense of connection to their coworkers and their workplace. They are motivated to contribute to the success of the company. When employees are engaged, they tend to be more productive, more creative, and more likely to stay with

Retain the Right Talent!

2023/03/03

Last year we saw the “great resignation” and then we saw “quiet quitting” towards the end of the year. Then a counter to that, organizations went to “quiet firing“ and all in the mix of all of that, I was asking myself - Why can’t organizations not all but some organization keep talent or attract talent? We dive into this topic in this episode and offer up some ways to help retain the right people. Social Interaction Platforms: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious Youtube:

Let’s go over a scenario real quick. Do you find yourself in a position where your employee or team members agree with you all the time and don’t offer up challenging ideas? Do people come to you or your teams and let them know about issues or concerns that they are having?

We’ve all been there and if you haven’t then you will soon be there. As leaders we need to have difficult conversations and that can me us feel uneasy at times.

If you have never heard of the “talent cliff” is a term used to describe a phenomenon that can occur in a workforce where a significant portion of the most skilled and experienced employees are nearing retirement age, and there is a lack of adequately trained or experienced workers to replace them. This can create a gap in knowledge and skills that can negatively impact the productivity and competitiveness of an organization. Also, this can happen at any new business that starts up and gets running

2022/10/08

Lets be honest, as leaders we want people to be successful and help them get through. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a mentality of let me just do it Because I can get it done faster and better.
