In this episode, we examine the 4 industry trends that negatively impact the workforce and organizational efficiency. These trends are not necessarily new, but their prevalence is creating greater disruption to organizational success in today's business climate.

The 4 trends are:

1. Primarily family-run businesses not evolving with current business norms.
2. Are our human service sectors humane to work in?
3. Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) growth strategies often undervalue cultural mergers
4. Leaders who are experts in tasks and products, not people management

Our prescription for this episode: take a hard look at the norms in your workplace. Are any (or all) of these trends present where you work? Would some of our recommendations address the root cause of many of your organizational challenges?

In this episode, we examine the 4 Faces of HR. These are defined by the company's leadership's expectations and priorities placed on HR professionals. What to the initials of "H" and "R" reflect in how people and culture are managed in your organization?

Does HR stand for...

• Holding Red-tape (primarily a compliance and administration generalist focus)

• Highly Reactive (primarily a talent acquisition focus and "putting our fires" focus)

• Hovering & Restricting (primarily a reporting, discipline, and enforcement focus)

• Humans Required (primarily a human capital, employees as assets focus)

Our prescription for this episode: understand that a human capital strategy is going to be the key to your scalability. If you are not scaling your internal growth in tandem with your external growth you are barreling toward costly and extensive problems.

In this episode, we examine 3 psychological principles that can hopefully provide folks with a lens to allow for a better understanding of those we work with.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Affect Intensity
• Belief Perseverance (combined with the Backfire Effect)
• Self Sabotage

Our prescription for this episode: many interpersonal and professional conflicts arise from a lack of understanding of where a lot of our differences come from. If we take the time to consider the "why" behind people's behavior, we can bring more patience, grace, and solutions to the troubles of our workplaces.
