sustainable workplace into the future

I read a summary of a book entitled, "The future-proof workplace: Six Strategies to Accelerate Talent Development, Reshape Your Culture and Succeed with Purpose" by Linda Sharkey and Morag Barrett, 2017 and have an urge to share what I like ka.

Again the first point can't be anything but leadership ka. In addition, the more I read, the more I think people discuss much further about culture and value...yet, the purpose in life has stood out! I also found the repeated keywords of cross-cultural competence, diversity and inclusion ka.

The importance of relationship building has popped up, not as a crucial way to be happy and live longer. This time as a key to do business. I think of our own strengths to get connected and retain healthy relationship loei ka. We should be serious to become the ones thinking and probing much more deeply how we've nurtured and sustained our relationships. Otherwise, foreigners would again maximize what has been in existence in our own cultures!?!
Let me quote right from the summary what I like na ka:
·       …….shift in leadership to be one of engagement, collaboration and adaptability

·       The future will be built by leaders who build up others and have a heart to serve others

·       …….solid personal values give you the platform and the confidence to translate those convictions into authentic company values

·       culture that truly empowers people-- they can’t unleash the creativity of their employees with slow, bureaucratic cultures

·       ……compelling and impactful purpose-- great leaders regularly reflect on how well they are aligned with, and living, their purpose and make changes accordingly. Purpose is a leadership journey, not a destination

·       ……role of relationships……… the secret glue that keeps people engaged and emotionally connected to the work

·       Success is about the horizontal opportunities that provide new experiences and expand skills. -- Who you know and what you know is much more important than the formal role you play…..MY ONLY CONCERN IS HOW BEST TO MAXIMIZE IT WITHOUT CROSSING THE LINES TO NEPOTISM AND CORRUPTION LAE KA!

·       ……..role of unconscious bias and the role the brain plays in our ability to connect with people who are different from us-- We have set patterns, images and context for what we believe people should be like, and often, these are so subtle we don’t even realize it.

·       Parents unwittingly pass on their bias and stereotypes to their children, causing an unconscious reaction in their children that can either help them or hinder them as they move into society. Good news is that we can rewire our thinking ka.

·       To thrive in the midst of rapid technological change, we’ve got to make work simpler, not continue to add complexity

·       the skill of unlearning and relearning becomes even more paramount

·       ……allow learners to pick a more a la carte approach to the content of their degree….learning agility and a healthy curiosity

·       Everyone needs to be a coach and mentor. Knowledge management matters …..because of the new flexible, tour-of-duty mindset of the millennials

·       Treat your employees (students and younger staff and faculty.....as they are millennials na ka) for who they are — adults. Provide them with challenging goals and the resources to achieve them. Then, set them free to deliver the results.

Any comments or observations mai ka?
