Many of you can relate to what I’m going to share today. You know you need to find rest but you don’t. Neither do I. I can struggle to find time to rest. I think of my regular schedule. It’s a full day in the office, only to go on a run in the evenings. Or maybe it’s helping to lead the youth group on Wednesday nights. Then the weekend comes.

What we’re noticing about leadership, teams, and company culture. As the year draws to a close, I’m curious. What are YOU NOTICING? About yourself? About your leadership? Your culture ? And, your team? I always find the end of the year an important time to stop and consider the themes. I love to reflect on what we’re seeing in our work with clients and within our own company at Let’s Grow Leaders.

There’s a single point I make throughout my work in executive coaching, speaking, and writing: people are the most important asset of any business. Most people agree, at least on the surface. But too few are willing to carry out that principle in policies and day-to-day management. I recently conducted a study of my clients with for-profit businesses and found that most understand the importance of people but still put profits first.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
