These are the top 5 priorities for HR leaders today: ? Do you agree? In an era marked by constant change, HR leaders must continually adapt... And stay ahead of the curve. According to a 2024 Gartner report, here are the top issues HR leaders must currently contend with: ?? ???????????? ?????? ?????????????? ?????????????????????? Problem: Managers are overwhelmed, and need more than just extra training Solution: Evolve the manager job itself to enhance effectiveness To cultivate leaders who don't just manage but inspire, traditional development programs alone are not enough. Leader and managerial roles must evolve further by rescoping role expectations, allowing for management opt-outs, equipping managers with sustainable habits, and removing process hurdles. ?? ???????????????????????????? ?????????????? Problem: Hybrid workplaces have created uncertainty for unifying culture Solution: Identify ways to actively build connectedness in a hybrid workforce To thrive in a hybrid world, leaders must work intentionally to align and connect employees with the organization’s culture, regardless of location. Nurturing a sense of belonging and purpose can strengthen the culture, boost employee engagement, and enhance productivity. ?? ???? ???????????????????? Problem: Knowing which technologies to adopt can be a daunting task Solution: Create a framework for evaluating and adopting new HR technologies Facing rapid technological advancements, HR leaders are challenged to choose the right tools to support HR strategy. Having a framework for evaluating HR technology is crucial to build a future-ready tech stack, guiding strategy and adoption, and answering key questions to ensure agility and flexibility. ?? ???????????? ???????????????????? Problem: Continuous change leaves employees feeling skeptical and disempowered Solution: Incorporate strategies to alleviate change fatigue into ongoing plans Employees, overwhelmed by the incessant pace and volume of change, have grown weary. Left unaddressed, this fatigue damages their well-being and risks organizational outcomes. Integrating change fatigue management strategies into planning is essential for mitigating risks and ensuring a successful transformation. ?? ???????????? ???????????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????????????? Problem: Traditional career paths are unclear and uncompelling for employees Solution: Offer agile career pathing for more personalized career progression The traditional approach to employee career progression is outdated. By dividing employee roles into shorter cycles and more frequent iterations, adaptive career designs help employees build broader experience and gain more career confidence, leading to greater job fulfillment at their current organization.

Throughout my career coaching/advising nonprofit CEOs, A common challenge consistently surfaces: ?????? ???? ?????????????????????? ???????????? ?????????? ??????????????! Placing demands on individuals who volunteer their time and freely lend their expertise can be tricky. Then, when initial excitement and engagement seem to wane, CEOs tend to prematurely relegate these carefully curated board members to: ? not being a good fit; ?joining for the wrong reasons; ? not exhibiting passion for the cause; ? having no time or availability to serve. However, having spent over three decades recruiting board members and assembling advisory boards, I’ve seen firsthand that the problem ?????????????? isn’t with the selection… ?? But rather with the Nonprofit’s inability to effectively command engagement. Here are 5 practical strategies that can help invigorate board member participation: 1??????????????????? ?????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? Engagement begins on day one. Equip new board members with a comprehensive information packet and personalized orientation. These are pivotal for setting clear operating norms and expectations, ensuring readiness for their first board meeting. 2????????????????????? ?? ???????????????????? ?????????????? Engagement does not magically happen on its own. Implementing a well-executed mentorship program or “buddy system” alleviates misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations, promoting consistent attendance and active participation. 3????????????????? ???????? ?????????? ???????????????? Transform board meetings from routine updates to dynamic discussions. To encourage regular participation, assign each member a specific task or topic to report on at subsequent meetings. This leverages their unique skillset and insights beyond fundraising. 4??????????????? ?????????????????? ?????????????????????????? Even small boards can benefit from having focused committees that cater to specific organizational needs. Beyond the usual Governance and Finance Committees, consider adding special interest committees (Fundraising, Technology, Marketing) to tap into diverse expertise. 5?? ?????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? Set term limits that maximize contribution, while minimizing burnout and reduced engagement. A trend is emerging for shorter terms, typically two years with renewal options. Some organizations even opt for a one-year probationary term to ensure fit and alignment. By adopting these approaches, nonprofits can maintain a vibrant, engaged, and effective board.

Why do we choose to follow certain leaders? Ever wonder why people reluctantly comply with one leader, but enthusiastically follow another? Sure, we might all find ourselves drawn to success, power, or charisma. But when you peel back the layers… ????’?? ?????? ?????????? ??????????????????. Character shapes effective leaders more than any other attribute. It's about who they are at their core, the qualities they embody day in and day out, the way they treat others. It’s their inner essence that makes them attractive as people. When leaders encounter challenges or conflicts at work, their reactions reveal their true character. I hear leaders preach integrity all the time, but what they do in moments of adversity speak louder than their words. ?????????????????? ???? ?? ?????????????????? ????????????. At every juncture, leaders choose between character and compromise. Character sets the limit to how high you can rise as a leader. Leaders cannot outpace the limitations of their own character, no matter their ambitions. Strive to be the leader whose actions and words align, the one who steers clear of ambiguity and stays true to their principles. ???????????? ?????? ???????????? ?????????? ???????????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ??????, ?????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ???? ????????. #leadership #executivecoaching #leadershipdevelopment ??????????????? ???Follow me for more leadership insights. ??
