For some time, human resources have been taken for

For some time, human resources have been taken for granted as willing to put up with difficult work conditions or roles that aren’t necessarily fulfilling, but which pay the mortgage.

The past two years have shown that unhappy people will communicate to their leaders: conversations for a pay rise, a condition change, leaving jobs or organisations. Working remotely and working from home has also offered new choices for valuable staff who no longer want to put up with the Monday to Friday grind.

In the past, ‘people strategy’ was often buried a couple of layers into a Strategic Plan. Now, consider this should be one of the key domains you attend to as an organisation to attract and retain the right talent.

The power balance has shifted, and it is now swayed even more towards the employee when it comes to rights and conditions of employment. Waking up to this at the Executive and Board level is critical to sustain any business in this disrupted time.

A conversation in the Executive Room might consider:
• What conditions do our staff value and thrive in?
• What initiatives do we have in place to create those conditions?
• To what extent are our answers to the previous questions based on assumptions versus tested?
• Who do we need to be as Executive Leaders to create an environment that motivates and inspires our people?

Wondering about the value of Coaching?

Meet Tim, one of our Liberated Leaders Graduates. He shares that with Tony's Coaching, he is more aware of the way he shows up as a leader. He has grown in his ability to have tough conversations with clients, partners and staff, which he knows is required to push the business to grow.

When it comes to future strategy, it is critical t

When it comes to future strategy, it is critical to do some reflective practice on the impacts of the last two years on the current strategy and to begin to anticipate what global disruption looks like for the short and medium term.

This anticipation will require a wide scan of the global context within which your organisation trades. Such a scan is obvious for those organisations who have international supply chains and for whom supply chain risk is emerging based on the fallout from COVID and the Russia/Ukraine crisis. Less obviously, this scan is relevant for service-based organisations, who rely on skilled labour to be able to deliver quality services to customers.

No matter what industry you are in and whether you deliver goods or services, disruption will impact you in 2022 and beyond.

For much of the past two years, we have worked alongside CEO’s and Executive Leaders to support them adapt and make necessary pivots - for themselves, their teams and their organisations - in response to unprecedented global disruption.

Our roles take us in to the very rooms where stakeholders come together and these decisions are made. As Facilitators and guides of such conversations, we are constantly attuned to the mindset that leaders ‘show up with’ and the quality of conversations they engage in to be able to create effective strategy. In our new article called "Why Now is a Good Time to Revisit Strategy", we offer four considerations we believe leaders must be attuned to if they are to meaningfully attend to strategy and a robust strategic planning process.
