If you are (or have been) a middle manager, you know how tough this role can be. You don’t set the strategic priorities, but you are accountable to make it happen—often without the influence to get all the resources you would like (or need) to get the job done. And every day, your team looks to you for support and a voice, which you may or may not able to provide.

In 2001, I accepted my first official leadership position as a human resources director with one audacious goal – to be and do all the things to serve all the people.

A S the Baby Boomers continue to age, business continuity and succession planning are on everyone’s radar. Take, for example, the financial industry: the average age of financial advisors in the U.S. exceeds age 50 , and less than 12 percent of advisors are under the age of 35.

It seems like every week I speak with executives who tell me they’re burned out or exhausted. And why wouldn’t they be? Everyone has been on a full out sprint for the past year as we’ve run the biggest business social experiment in history. And now, after more than a year of 10 to 12 Zoom meetings a day (that’s the average I’m hearing), COVID vaccinations and the freedom they bring have unleashed a wave of pent-up demand to pack even more into our days.

As a girl, I loved to play at the park. The outdoors felt so expansive, open, promising. Accompanied by the already wonderful feeling of being outside was the fact that other kids would be in the same space and I could socialize and share a sense of belonging with them as we ran, laughed, and played. We were true creatives as our imaginations mapped out detailed imaginary scenes for playtime.

Americans must hate vacation. Several surveys and studies tell us half of Americans leave vacation time on the table. That was before COVID. Now, we’re coming off a year where the work didn’t let up and many normal activities were impossible. Your stress level is higher than it’s been for years. You need a vacation this year, more than ever. Oh, I know, you’ve got plenty of reasons (excuses) about why you can’t do it.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
