Being an inclusive leader doesn’t mean just surrounding yourself with a diverse team. It entails truly drawing on everyone’s perspectives to gain a 360 degree view of the situation, and leveraging the brainpower of the team to the fullest, in order to reach a more informed decision.

Recognizing May as Mental Health Month at Sunbelt Solomon. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, job burnout is one of the most pressing issues facing the global workforce: 28% of workers in a Gallup study say they are burned out “very often” or “always” at work.   To address our Core Value of People, we have invested in resources to support the “whole” person including enhanced mental health resources with access to a dedicated licensed mental health professional, a robust wellbeing program, and increased training for supervisors to respond with empathy to team members.    Don’t know how to start a conversation about mental health in the workplace? Try the Empathy Formula: “It sounds/looks like you are (insert feeling) about (insert fact).”   PS3P = You matter in this equation

"A lot of talent ideas are based on science, but some people don’t accept it." "We need to learn how to turn what we know into what we do in a much more disciplined way." These quotes from Dave Ulrich are from the latest Future of HR Podcast episode, featuring HR thought leaders Bob Eichinger and Allan Church, Ph.D. They express their frustration with leaders in our field who ignore decades of scientific research on creating value. This insightful episode also covers the following topics and, from my POV, is a must-listen for any HR professional, talent practitioner, or business leader: - What does the research say about developing leaders? - Why is there a “knowing-doing” gap in implementing talent management practices? - Why skills-based organizations are an incomplete method of talent management. - How to think about and define leadership potential. - Why HR leaders need to ask what kind of leadership is needed for future success. - The reasons organizations struggle to develop a strong leadership bench. - How talent management professionals can elevate their impact. Thank you, JP Elliott, PhD, for bringing these experts together for such an insightful discussion! https://lnkd.in/eGeb6Drs #LeadershipDevelopment #TalentManagement #HR #LeadershipPotential
