Let's Grow Leaders

OCTOBER 7, 2022

Your organization is a Complex Adaptive System—and so are the people you lead. Many leaders expect an organization to operate like a machine, but that leads to failure.

No matter which industry your organization operates it, there’s a pretty high chance that you’re grappling with how to motivate and engage your employees in the daily work they do. This challenge has manifested itself in various ways – from the Great Resignation to more recently the notion of quiet quitting.

Most of us in leadership have at least one bad professional habit. Maybe you check your messages constantly. Or you might be known for being 10 minutes late to every meeting. Maybe you work through every weekend, hold negative thoughts, or mix too much personal business into the workday.

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.

The financial crisis of 2008 had global implications, but perhaps one of the most considerable was its impact in bolstering support for populist politicians. Research from MIT highlighted how people who succumbed to financial difficulty after the crisis became attracted to populist politics and politicians. The researchers looked at the fortunes of Hungary’s Jobbik party and found that the right-wing populists gained a considerable amount of support after the crisis.
