Many organizations treat onboarding as a checklist that must be done as quickly as possible to get a new body in a role. Highly effective organizations involve new team members, with their fresh set of eyes, to provide continuous feedback on the existing company systems, culture, and strategic planning.

The principle: Your onboarding process should evolve as fast as your understanding of what drives results on purpose.

Ask yourself: When did you last revisit how new people enter your system? If it’s been more than 6 months, you’re probably leaving potential on the table.

Strategic onboarding = Strategic advantage.

This past month brought tough conversations and moments of doubt—but helping people return to their core purpose always recharges me as a coach and leader. To get there for yourself – realize that “being busy” is just a way of saying that you have other priorities. Create an energizes me / discharges me list each week based on what you’ve done each day. The pattern will be self evident to you in a month or two of where you need to navigate towards….then ACT WITH PURPOSE. #LeadThruExample #InvestorsInPeople

As companies grow and expand, ensure that you have systems in place to ensure everyone uses the resources and tools they have available enterprise wide effectively instead of creating individually focused tools —no need to reinvent the wheel. Utilize existing tools fully! #leadthruexample #investorsinpeople

What every high performing team member wants to hear from their manager – “If you want to be promoted here, show me your skills and competencies aligned to our documented goals and mission — not just your tenure.” #LeadThruExample #InvestorsInPeople

When leaders connect their personal “why” to their organization’s mission and values, they unlock discipline and resilience during the messy middle of changes.

They also experience deep personal satisfaction and gratitude for their team’s efforts.

What is your personal why?

There are many things that AI can and will replace as it matures.  There are also many things that cannot be replaced. Even more that will be powerfully augmented. Let’s all continue to dialogue and discover how we can leverage the tool to its highest and best use for growing people.

Fixed mindset leaders hold companies back from profitable growth because they are rooted in short term thinking around outputs only. Growth mindsets? They build the company’s future and scalable profits because they focus on strategy and inputs. Leaders: model curiosity and possibility thinking – every day! #LeadThruExample #InvestorsInPeople #StrategicPlanning

As we get primed to start another productive week, remember that micromanagement kills trust—and results! Empower high performers and hold everyone accountable using clear expectations, feedback loops, and sharing tribal knowledge. #LeadThruExample #InvestorsInPeople

When it comes to promotions/succession planning – Gut instinct matters and data-driven people development accelerates. Tools such as 1:1 meetings, manager effectiveness surveys, performance reviews, 9 box and 360 feedback allow for creating competency dashboards that provide clarity and equitable growth for every team member! #LeadThruExample #InvestorsInPeople

Someone asked me what the difference between a leader and a manager is and what companies needed more.  Sadly this kind of either/or thinking has become pervasive in today’s world.  We need BOTH/AND – Managers achieve goals; Leaders ask hard questions: ‘How do we scale? How do we get better every time?’ Whatever your role is, be strategic—don’t just do more, do what matters! #LeadThruExample #InvestorsInPeople
