From the October 31, 2018 Intelligence Briefing:

The Role of a Manager Has to Change in 5 Key Ways

Harvard Business Review: “For almost 100 years, management has been associated with the five basic functions outlined by management theorist Henri Fayol: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. These have become the default dimensions of a manager. But they relate to pursuing a fixed target in a stable landscape. Take away the stability of the landscape, and one needs to start thinking about the fluidity of the target. This is what’s happening today, and managers must move away from the friendly confines of these five tasks.”

 

 

From the November 28, 2018 Intelligence Briefing:

Don’t Let Lazy Managers Drive Away Your Top Performers

Harvard Business Review: “Management is not easy, and it takes a lot more than common sense to develop and retain a highly motivated workforce these days. By abandoning the “just common sense” mentality associated with lazy management, managers can learn how their actions influence employees, stop looking for easy fixes, and exert the thought and effort that is uncommon in too many workplaces.”

 

 

From the December 19, 2018 Intelligence Briefing:

Four Ways To Help Your Employees Feel More Fulfilled (And Why You Need To)

Forbes: “A new PwC/CECP study shows that meaning and fulfillment at work is the new standard employees expect of their work experience, and one that companies need to embrace if they want to cultivate the best workforce, now and in the future. Some key findings from the study reveal just how much companies need to rethink how they can contribute to the employee experience becoming more meaningful if they want to remain competitive.”
