Why Aging Services Leaders Can't Lead the Same Way (and retain talent).

Why Aging Services Leaders Can’t Lead the?Same Way (and Still Retain Their Teams).

Today’s leaders are faced with more challenges than ever, especially when dealing with the humans at work. Workers expect far more than they ever have before, and they aren’t putting up with the same work demands, as the “great resignation” of 2021-2022 has shown us. What’s a leader to do?

Joshua Smith, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for LeadingAge California, and I discussed current trends in leadership and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within the Aging Services industry and workplaces in general last week on LinkedIn Live.

Creating a psychologically safe workplace takes intention and leaders’ willingness to learn and grow. It takes a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion as a leadership “must-have.” And it demands leadership courage and action to change what is, to what will be.
