What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can’t simply transplant a competitor’s talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can’t take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions.  Roberta Chinsky Matuson is the CEO of Matuson Consulting, a top management-consulting firm established 20 years ago that has helped organizations of all kinds- General Motors, Microsoft, Best Buy, LinkedIn, and many others-achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through maximizing talent. She was named a 2018 LinkedIn Top Voice in Management and Workplace and has an excellent relationship with MentorBox as well as with getAbstract, which has a huge reach in the corporate-learning market. She is quoted regularly in the business and general consumer press (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Working Woman, etc.) as well as online (MSNBC, Monster, NPR, etc.) and broadcast media (Fox Business News, CNN, CBS’s Early Show, etc.). Topics During this conversation, Roberta and I discuss the following topics: The inspiration for her bookThe leadership lessons which she learned as a young HR executiveHow leaders can find the right people for their organizationWhy hiring is not a HR functionWhy it is important for organizations to develop their people internally For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/115

As leaders our time is one of our most important resources. It is constantly being demanded for, used, abused, and ultimately we never have enough of it. We need to maximize our time in order to ensure that we are operating effectively for ourselves, our teams, and our organization. In order to achieve this we need to increase our productivity, maximize our time-management, and become as efficient as possible. Exactly why today’s guest is here with us.  Alexis is a productivity, time-management and efficiency expert. She spent the first 15+ years of her career managing operations and HR at several early-stage start-ups, where there was always way more to do than people to do it. But she also believes that work-life balance is essential for everyone, even though the definition may be different for everyone. As a result, she began to develop and implement productivity systems in the companies she worked for, and in her life, to ensure that goals were met, balls were not dropped, and that, most importantly, she and those around her stayed sane. Her productivity and time-management systems, techniques, tricks and hacks can be customized to any team, individual or household.   Topics During this interview, Alexis and I discuss the following topics: How she became a productivity expertWhy balance is so importantHow to prioritize effectivelyWhy taking a break is so important For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/114
