Most of the time, we're focused on what is right in front of us, especially with our careers. But we need to pay attention to the tangentials. That means opening up a bit to notice the things on the sides related to our main focus. For example, let's say you are in finance. If you're someone who is paying attention to the tangentials, you would probably notice that there are a lot of conversations happening around the impact AI and technology might have on your job. Because of this, you could ask yourself, where else can my skills and abilities be used besides just finance? Then you would realize that your skills are also very much in demand in areas like HR data science and people analytics. You can now quickly pivot and bring your skills to another area. If you had your blinders on, you would be very much stuck in finance and not have as many options to grow and expand. This is why it's very important to pay attention to the tangentials. --------------------- The #1 challenge for organizations right now is how to attract and retain talent.

Do you need to be an executive at a company to be a leader? No, you don't. Leading others is a choice. It's not about your title. There are plenty of people who have senior executive titles but are terrible leaders. And similarly, there are lots of other people who don't have executive titles but are amazing leaders. Being a leader is about influencing change. It's about motivating, engaging, empowering, and inspiring others. If you want to be a better leader, then start leading. ----------- The #1 challenge for organizations right now is how to attract and retain talent.

We've never invested more time, more money, or more resources into employee engagement programs. We spend billions of dollars every year, but around the world, employee engagement scores aren't improving. Why? Because it's the employee experience that creates an engaged workforce. And an engaged workforce impacts ROI. If you want to have an engaged workforce, start by investing in the experience of your people. This is based on a concept created by a psychologist named Thomas Gilovich. He realized that if you invest in a physical good, your satisfaction goes down over time. However, if you invest in an experience, over time, your satisfaction goes up. Learn how the world's top CEOs create amazing employee experiences within their organizations. ----------- The #1 challenge for organizations right now is how to attract and retain talent.

Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, passed away in 1992, but the company he created is still one of the world's largest employers today. In many ways, the impact of his leadership is still felt today. Sam's leadership lessons can guide us today in 2021 as much as they did many many decades ago. Here are three things Sam did that you as a leader should do as well: 1. Ask questions. Sam was considered a master questionnaire. He was constantly talking to people at all levels of the company. He showed that he valued other people's perspectives, opinions, and ideas by truly trying to ask thoughtful questions. 2. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. A leader's job isn't to be the smartest person in the room. A leader's job is to assemble a team and to create an organization where people are smarter than the leader is. 3. Hold on to what's working and change what isn't. It's easy to get wrapped up in new things. But don't get rid of a successful practice or method simply to chase something shiny and new. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely.
