There are common mistakes leaders make when trying to transform an organization, according to CEO Magazine, and many can be avoided. First, leaders do not present convincing arguments, in particular by communicating the transformation program with a 30-page PowerPoint, something that should not be done. Rather, the recipe would be: “Because of A, B, and C (the disruptive forces you are experiencing), we are launching a transformation program toward X, Y, and Z (the elements of your strategy). » And the ingredient that changes everything, according to CEO Magazine? Make it feel like it’s part of something big and it’s right to support it. Second, leaders think they know everything. Now, no one likes smart people. As innovation advances at breakneck speed, don’t fall into the trap of thinking you know everything. On the contrary, be curious about new ways of doing things, integrate as much diversity as possible into your teams, create an environment for constructive debate and give credit to other people for their ideas.

If employers search hundreds of thousands of resumes every day to find top talent, Gen Z employees do the same with corporate employees. And what matters to the Zs? According to a survey carried out last April among 500 students at the University of Berkeley in California, “impact work” stood out at 60%, followed by “work-life balance” and mentoring. Instead of communicating values and job descriptions the old-fashioned way, companies would benefit from detailing precisely what candidates can expect from the company culture, says The San Diego Union Tribune. Some phrases are winners, like “a caring team,” “data-driven work,” “mentoring opportunities” and “employees are not expected to sacrifice their free time to get a promotion,” the paper suggests.

How can I rephrase them into positive affirmations that make me feel unstoppable? »
