    Neurodiversity in Leadership Gap

    SUMMARY Neurodiversity is the concept that there’s a lot of variety in how brains work. Example, the company values neurodiversity. Neurodiversity refers to the idea that neurological differences, such as those seen in autism or ADHD, reflect normal variations in brain development. Neurodiversity is often contrasted with the “medical model,” which views conditions like autism or ADHD as disorders to prevent, treat, or cure. There has been a push to move away from this idea of pathology and more toward a more nuanced perspective with variations of what is “normal.” Neurodivergent is the word that describes individuals.  Example, James is neurodivergent. The class has three neurodivergent students. How can employers make their workplaces more neurodiversity-friendly? Offer small adjustments to an employee's workspace to accommodate any sensory needs, such as Sound sensitivity: Offer a quiet break space, communicate expected loud noises (like fire drills), offer noise-cancelling headphones. Tactile: Allow modifications to the usual work uniform. Movements: Allow the use of fidget toys, allow extra movement breaks, offer flexible seating. Use a clear communication style: Avoid sarcasm, euphemisms, and implied messages. Provide concise verbal and written instructions for tasks, and break tasks down into small steps. Inform people about workplace/social etiquette, and don't assume someone is deliberately breaking the rules or being rude. Try to give advance notice if plans are changing, and provide a reason for the change. Don't make assumptions — ask a person's individual preferences, needs, and goals. Be kind, be patient.

    The Engagement Gap

    How can leaders do a better job at ensuring that their employees are engaged and aligned with the mission and vision of the organization and their particular role?  For the employee, what are some things you can do to remain aligned with your work and the value add you were hired to do? Possible areas to consider as a leader: Work must have purpose for engagement to take place Implementing engagement programs internally and externally New perspective and new tools needed – employees can see how their work impacts the organization’s mission  Gap on resources – what is lacking that could contribute to someone’s overall success in their current role (support from key stakeholders / training or materials) As Rebecca Ray, PhD stated: “The culture you create or the culture you destroy will determine the success of your business”.   Rest In Peace, Dear Friend, John B.

    The Women's Leadership Gap

    Summary: Advice for both our male and female listeners on how women can inadvertently hold themselves back: Doing my job well will get me noticed (without the necessary relationship-building) - very common in some cultures - don’t rock the boat. Don’t want to appear pushy or aggressive OR conflict avoidant -  can be too ‘nice’ Less professional development opportunities or mentors - especially in male-dominated fields How to engage better: Ask - what does this person want to accomplish? What does that look like? What barriers exist from their perspective? It might be different than what you perceive.  For networking, think of ways this might feel intimidating or exclusive. It’s not easy walking into a room of mostly men. Or people who may not look like you. If you see someone not as represented, make it a point to introduce yourself and then introduce that person to others. Not everything needs to be scheduled at the end of the day! It is still more socially acceptable for male executives to miss dinner than female executives. Consider a business lunch instead of a dinner. Company internal audits – where are they with expanding female leadership roles. Some women professionals might want to add their name to the "hat" but leaders might not have awareness. Therefore, leaders don’t know what they don’t know.

    The Succession Gap, Part 2

    SUMMARY There are distinct trends colliding: retirement of the Boomers and some Gen X, new workplace realities from the Covid pandemic, and generational differences in attitudes towards work and boundaries. Where we see this in our work is leaders who feel that the younger generation is not prepared, or capable of taking the reins. “But you don’t represent the company or you don’t look/act like me, so I don’t want to hand over the reins.” More 65-year olds in the workplace than ever before. Don’t want to retire, some have to continue to work - lack of pensions, cost of living, especially in later years…. At the same time, there is real agism. Boomers and older Gen X - Brought so much value to the organization, then not needed anymore or as much, especially given the new technologies and realities. Sense of feeling not as needed anymore and vulnerable, so reluctant to share/cede power. Reframe the conversation - what LEGACY do you want to leave versus maintaining control Shift from how different each generation is to the value that the new generation brings. Embrace the change and be proactive in succession planning. Questions to consider as an existing executive/leader and for emerging leaders: What can you do to let go? Develop talent? Why do people leave? What can you do to help make adjustments to the system? Who in your team/division/organization could potentially take on your role? How could you better prepare them for this? What skills do you possess that are unique? How could you cultivate these in your team or organization? TOOLS/RESOURCES Article in Wall Street Journal - America has never had so many 65-year olds. They're redefining the milestone.

    The Executive Presence Gap

    SUMMARY Executive Presence is a skill as much as it is a natural ability For some it does come naturally, for others, it must be learned or honed. Using data to tell stories - know your audience - emotional intelligence - active listening Journey on how you connect with those around you. Goal - inspire confidence. 5 traits are the building blocks:  Resilience - bounce back, don’t take it personally Influence - its in your relationships. It’s the lubricant to keep the gears going. At high levels, results are harder to measure due to the complexity of the work. Organization - do your homework. Be organized so you are prepared to handle non-related meetings that all contribute to the functioning of the institution, company, or organization Scope - high altitude, vision. Executives have a broad scope, as opposed to managers. Also they are in the spotlight, which ties into relationships and Influence, as well as Resilience Speed of Thought - being mentally nimble. Not just smart, but not getting bogged down in one or two issues. Ability to context switch. Benefits from having Executive Presence: Developing executive presence is more than just a question of winning popularity or power. One of its main benefits is that it helps you reduce stress. Managers with executive presence, and who focus their attention on the moment, can cope better with challenges in several ways. The Roffey Park study from the Roffey Park Institute shows that they demonstrate: Clearer thinking and perception. Greater courage, conviction and sensitivity in handling conflict. More focus on higher priorities. More energy and passion. Calm when dealing with change. More openness to new opportunities. Confidence in their own views.

    Creating Goals to Avoid Gaps

    SUMMARY Goals provide focus and direction both personally and professionally. In this episode, we look at how to set realistic versus aspirational goals. Realistic goals have both impact and chances for success. We discuss how to take yourself through realistic goal setting, as well as provide examples from our own goals and those of our clients. TOOLS/RESOURCES Worksheet exercise - Create space in your busy schedule, find a quiet spot, follow the directions below: Part I: Brainstorming Ideas Block at least an hour. Find a spot where you won’t be distracted by work or family Make a list: A) What do I want to be, want to do and want to have B) What do I NOT want to be, want to and want to have. Part II: Refining Goals  What gets/makes you excited? Scale 1-10. Those closest to 10 become the top 3 goals What will truly move the needle? What is within your locus of control vs what depends on others? If you don’t have control, what is in your sphere of influence? What is getting in the way? Part III: Choosing and Setting Goals Specific/Measurable/Deadlines Reverse engineer it Make it formal – on the calendar with action steps and with hard deadlines  Mapping/ActionSteps – cut them up in pieces – map out the details; identify the gaps and the much-needed resources Identify potential roadblocks. How will you overcome them? Ask yourself what is in your control or influence? Commitment – how well does the goal align with your value system  Who is your support system? Who is my cheerleading team? (I.e.. Your personal trainer, coach, a friend, family, a work colleague. Be very specific as to how they can support you.)
