What would you do if your role as a leader lead to the accidental death of one of your employees? It’s a scenario that, thankfully, most of us might never have to consider. And yet, for one leader, this was exactly a situation they faced in their career, and what might have been a career-ending moment turned into one that helped this leader to learn how we can achieve extraordinary outcomes simply by caring for those we lead.

Embrace Technology. Let’s begin the second in this series with an assumption you want to be proactive with your message. Also, we’ll assume you’ve created a powerful employee promise: you have a culture in which a Better Boss, a Brighter Future, and a Bigger Vision are a reality. How do you get the word out? As we discuss in the book, Talent Magnet, a small magnet has little strength – likewise, even an organization with a strong promise, if known by very few, creates a little draw.

Workplace stress assessments are often carried out to help teams perform at an optimal level. Much can be achieved when organizations identify possible sources of stress, which can include a controlling management style, lack of job security, or an excess of responsibility matched with little control over goals, roles, or procedures. Stress can negatively affect teams by making workers feel overwhelmed, fatigued, or unable to concentrate on the tasks at hand.

I was reviewing some of our tools with a leader who thought a messaging methodology or leadership platform was a “luxury,” like “GPS or electric seat warmers.” (Though, believe me, to survive the harsh Chicago winters, seat warmers are not a luxury; they’re a necessity!). A strategic approach to communications, too, is a necessity. The fact that he mentioned GPS was ironic to me.

A friend asked me once to name the things I do as a leader because I have to do, but don’t necessarily like to do. He even had a term for it. He called it the “underbelly of leadership”. It was a great question. It caused me to think. There are actually lots of things I do, which I don’t enjoy doing. That’s likely what most of us call work. But, what do I “have” to do?

It’s the conundrum of the digital age: almost as soon as your company has fully implemented a new digital initiative, it’s on the verge of becoming obsolete. Should you just move faster? Hire a more digitally savvy workforce and force them to move at lightning speed? Maybe. But the first step—and the most important—is to look closely at, and invest in, the human capital you already have.
