MIT SMR: Managing the Post-Pandemic Workforce Empowerment vs. Oversight

As organizations prepare to lead their post-pandemic hybrid workforce, leaders face critical choices about how best to measure and monitor their workers' performance. Should leadership use new measurement technologies to double down on greater oversight? Or are these capabilities better deployed to empower workers? Our research suggests a growing divide between organizations that view enhanced measurement as enhanced control versus those that see metrics as a source of enhanced engagement with their workers. In this on-demand webinar, Michael Schrage, visiting scholar at MIT Sloan's Initiative on the Digital Economy, explores this global issue with David Kiron, editorial director of MIT SMR. Schrage and Kiron look at whether encouraging workers to opt into digital self-monitoring will lead them to see themselves in new ways.

Leadercamp on-demand: Implementing Servant Leadership in the Corporate World

Today, business leaders understand the importance of People and Culture. All progressive organizations accept that People and Culture play a big role in organization success. At the core of creating a right culture is the leadership philosophy that the organization embraces. While there are many "People friendly" leadership philosophies out there, there is only one leadership philosophy that balances beautifully between results and relationship by truly being "People centered." This philosophy is Servant Leadership. There is a lot of literature on Servant Leadership. Most of the body of knowledge on Servant Leadership talks about what Servant Leadership is. Even when we understand the concept and might even like it, we are at a loss when it comes to actually implementing it at our workplace. This Leadercamp shifts the focus from the "what" of Servant Leadership to the "how."

Leadercamp on-demand: The Kind Leader Series - Collaboration

In the fourth and final Leadercamp on the power of kind leadership, we will build on recovering and redirecting your self-control, and creating more time to devote toward developing those around you through effective and valuable communication skills as you build powerful 1-2-1 relationships. Now, we will leverage those relationships to develop team performance through collaboration, and co-create a lasting kindness culture in and around you. It will become evident in how happy people are, and how the numbers in retention, sickness, surveys, and performance all prove the point. Above all, it will highlight how your kind and effective leadership can touch the lives of hundreds, thousands, and even more than you might even expect. In this Leadercamp, Martin Haworth, a 20-year ICF accredited coach and trainer, will help participants recognize the potential of how kindness is vital for working together to realize the synergies of the team-not only for today, but also as a legacy for the future.

Leadercamp on-demand: The Kind Leader Series - Commitment

Time-the final frontier! For many leaders, having available time is a vague and remote dream. Yet, as we found in the first of our Kind Leader Leadercamps, we have choices we are completely in CONTROL of. How we decide to commit our time is 100% a choice. Yet the changes we need to make can prove challenging at first. How we use kindness to make the difference is where we spend our time as leaders most effectively. In this second in a series of four Leadercamps, ICF-accredited coach and trainer Martin Haworth guides you on a journey to creating more time to lead. You'll discover how to be Kinder to yourself, with plenty of time to be the leader even you would follow! And kinder to your people as you have space to support and develop them in a nurturing and enjoyable culture. You'll learn some simple insights and tweaks to your current skills to give you all the time you need at work-and still get home in time for dinner!

Leadercamp on-demand: The Kind Leader Series - Connection

Following the first of our two Leadercamps on taking back control and gaining flexible leadership time, we'll now focus on the way we maximize our relationships with others. Effective connection with your own team, and influencing peers, bosses and stakeholders is the enabler to success. In the third in a series of four Leadercamps focusing on kind leadership, we use released time to connect effectively, develop productive relationships, be kind to ourselves, and be kind to our people too. In this Leadercamp, ICF accredited coach and trainer Martin Haworth shares his thoughts and very practical ways to work more effectively-and efficiently-with those around you where everyone is a winner in a culture of kindness throughout.

Leadercamp on-demand: The Kind Leader Series - Control

For many, the very word "control" feels uncomfortable, carrying the relics of old-school leadership from ages past. Yet the attempts to control others remain even today, so we have to be focused on how we view the term. The only person we can control 100% is ourselves, and the realization that it is down to us to manage ourselves first is quite a challenge to many. This kind and appreciative awareness can add to your capability to be your best for yourself, and to be the best you can be for your people too. Being kind to yourself is the first priority to be an outstanding leader and for you to feel great at the same time. In the first part of the four part Leadercamp series on kindness, The Kind Leader, ICF-accredited coach and trainer Martin Haworth shares insights into the CONTROL we have in the work we do, and the lives we lead. Martin presents some simple, kindness tools you can adopt right away to help your performance, well-being, and fulfilment in your everyday world.

Leadercamp on-demand: Project Your Leadership Brand

What do people say about you when you leave the room? Is it what you want them to say? How you show up in the room, get listened to and are known amongst your colleagues and employees are critical components of your leadership success. How we speak and how we listen not only directly impacts results but also employee engagement, productivity, morale and loyalty. Listening is something we all do but don't often do effectively or with intention. Being intentional, especially in the hybrid work environment, is essential to building connection and commitment. The culminating program in this four-part series will bring together the elements of Connected Leadership. Michelle Tillis Lederman, an executive coach, people expert, and CEO, will bring together the elements of Connected Leadership. You will gain clarity on your brand attributes, uncover potential traps that hold you back, and understand the subtle impact of verbal, vocal, and visual elements on your executive image.

Leadercamp on-demand: Servant Leadership

In recent years, we have witnessed phenomena like the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, moonlighting, and, most recently, the tech layoffs. On top of that, very credible research shows that only 32% of employees actually trust their leaders to do the right thing. This has brought back the focus on determining the right leadership philosophy to be practiced in organizations. While there are many "people-friendly" leadership philosophies out there, there is only one leadership philosophy that balances results and relationships by truly being "people-centered." This philosophy is servant leadership. In this Leadercamp, servant leadership evangelist, thought leader, organization builder, and author Dr. Madana Kumar addresses the "how" of servant leadership rather than the "what" of the concept. The session is designed with the learning objectives that can be summed up in his EDGE paradigm.
