Generation Y Paradigms of Work and Leadership:
There has been plenty of literature and discussion on ‘how to manage Gen Ys’.
If their work paradigms and ‘how to be led’ are very different from those of their managers of earlier generations, then surely how Gen Ys will lead their organisations in the near future will look and feel new.
Therefore, the nature of work and leadership is about to change fundamentally.
Strategic Innovation: Disrupting Your Industry with New Business Models:
We often hear about innovation in the context of inventing new products or services.
An innovation lever of senior executives that can transform business success is reinventing the business model.
While the implications of strategic innovation can be profound, identifying the industry-disruptive idea that reinventing one’s business can be very simple and approachable – it’s a matter of having different and better conversations.
Management Innovation: Are Your Management Principles Fit for the 21st Century?
Over the last century, business has modernised in almost every way except for how it organises, leads, coordinates and motivates its people.
Those organisations that have innovated their act of management are celebrated as pioneers and leaders in their respective industries.
Businesses can develop a formal method for reinventing their management, just as they’ve done for products and processes for decades.
Management breakthroughs can deliver compelling competitive advantages that are more sustainable than any other creative act.
Navigating The Great Resignation
The Great Resignation is a crisis that disrupts business continuity and learning economies and could cost the average-sized company £750k to £3 million per year. Adam Kingl has been predicting this crisis since 2010 and, over that time, has conducted research and developed frameworks and lessons to mitigate attrition and engage your workforce. While Covid has accelerated attrition and forced many to re-examine what they want to achieve in their careers and lives, there is still cause for optimism that the world of work can be a force that makes life more meaningful.
