“It’s never too late to start all over again.” —John Kay
As we move into 2014, it’s natural to take stock of our status — where we are, where we’re headed and how to get there.
That future-minded theme is the framework for #TChat Events throughout the month of January. And we’re excited to kick off the series this week with Fortune 500 executive leadership advisor, columnist, and author, Mike Myatt
A year ago, Mike wrote a compelling Forbes post, “10 Reasons Your Top Talent Will Leave You ,” which challenged business leaders to take a hard look at the how they undermine organizational culture and workforce commitment. His conclusion was stark — unless companies address these fundamental issues from the top down , it’s only a matter of time before employees will look elsewhere.
Of course, some executives will never get it . But what’s really alarming is how common these issues seem to be in today’s world of work. According to employee engagement research, most companies are long over-due for an extreme culture makeover.
But how? What can leaders do to intervene successfully?
That’s the focus of Mike’s new book, “Hacking Leadership TalentCulture community this week for a conversation about how to fix organizational cultures that are failing on multiple levels.
“Sneak Peek” Hangout
I had an opportunity to conduct a brief hangout with Mike, where he set the stage for this week’s conversation:
