A Leadership Tip from PXT Select: Vision

/in ,

There’s no greater leadership responsibility than being able to craft and cast a compelling vision for your organization. And though crafting a vision isn’t easy, when it comes to leadership, only one “vision question” really counts—are you actively pursuing your vision?

Leadership mentor John Maxwell said that a leader “knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way,” and that “people buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”

Do you have a vision? Do your colleagues and employees know what it is, and do they believe in it? Do they believe in your ability to get them there?

Create a vision for the future that your employees can’t wait to get to. You’ll be setting an example that people can’t resist following. This is what being a great leader looks like.

Creating a Compelling Vision for Your Organization

Productive Conflict in the Remote Workplace

/in ,

Have you found it harder to engage in productive conflict since working remotely?

Avoiding tension, conflict, and difficult conversations can stunt a team’s growth, especially when the groundwork of trust—where mistakes can be made, forgiveness is granted, and our vulnerabilities aren’t used against us—has eroded or, worse, never existed from the start.

Whether it’s holding someone accountable or sharing that you don’t feel heard, when we lack that interpersonal foundation of trust to stand on, we find it more difficult to do the hard, but necessary, work of being an effective team member.

The Policies Every Organization Should Consider to Minimize Employee Stress

/in

For its latest eBook, How to Navigate the Great Resignation, Wiley asked questions about what policies organizations have in place and examined the impact that those policies have on reported stress levels. They discovered some compelling insights about which organizational policies have the biggest impact on lowering employee stress levels.

One of these policies is Additional PTO & Mental Health Days.
32% of people surveyed currently experience this benefit.
The pandemic highlighted mental health in the workforce in a way we’ve never seen before. According to Wiley’s research, providing additional PTO and mental health days had the strongest impact on lowering stress levels for employees at the height of the pandemic and continues to play an important role in lowering stress moving forward, so it’s surprising that only 32% of respondents said their company modified this policy.

This means organizations that actively prioritize, discuss, and cater to its employees’ mental health moving forward will be in a better position to retain and attract top talent.

Reflect on if your organization implemented or updated this policy in the last year. Want more info on the research? Request your free copy of the eBook from us: www.mdr4you.com

The Critical Nature of Effective Teamwork Skills

/in , ,

Teams are comprised of individuals, each of whom needs the skills to make effective teamwork a success. Sounds obvious, but that’s why it’s so critical for everyone to have a clear picture of what individuals and teams are experiencing—and why every leader must foster a culture of effective teamwork in their organization.

It’s astonishing to think that some teams are able to be successful despite poor teamwork. Imagine what is possible when teams achieve true cohesion!

Work/Life Imbalance Causes High Stress in Teams

/in

Although the massive transformation in work environments over the last year and a half should have made for better work/life balance in theory, that’s not exactly how it has played out.

Whether it is a full-on return to the office, a hybrid approach, or something entirely different, these constant changes, paired alongside the extreme stress of the last year+, have caused many people to feel a little out of balance.

And as you can imagine, having a bunch of employees who feel as though their work/life balance is off means that your organization is likely suffering the consequences.

Spotting and Solving Job Fit Challenges

/in ,

How do you spot a job fit challenge?

Let’s say your issue is that performance has decreased.
Solution: If it’s clear that the employee can be a star performer, identify a job that will challenge them. Hopefully, the change of pace will be exactly what the employee needs to return to their previous level of engagement.

What if your employees have an increase in their skill sets and you worry their positions might end up boring them?
Solution: Instead of losing your employees to other companies once they receive more education, identify open positions you have that will match their new skill sets.

Optimizing talent in your organization is an important objective, and it’s one that is always changing. The types of people you hire, develop, and promote should represent different skill sets, backgrounds, and levels of expertise to fulfill the various roles that make up your company. #JobFitMatters
