Modern leadership is about zone of influenceversus zone of control. People follow people and not titles. Leadership is a role and not a job title. https://lnkd.in/gzrRffn6

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the concept of leadership is being redefined. An insightful article by Nell Derick Debevoise delves into the essence of purposeful leadership and offers a powerful framework for leaders aspiring to make a meaningful impact. Key takeaways include: A - Authenticity: Authentic leaders inspire trust and loyalty. By staying true to their values and being genuine in their actions, they create an environment where others feel empowered to do the same. B - Boldness: Purposeful leaders are not afraid to take risks and make bold decisions. They challenge the status quo and drive innovation, always with a clear vision in mind. C - Connection: At the heart of effective leadership is the ability to connect with others. Building strong relationships, fostering collaboration, and demonstrating empathy are crucial for creating a cohesive and motivated team. D - Dedication: Commitment to a greater cause is what sets purposeful leaders apart. They are dedicated to their mission, and this unwavering focus drives their actions and decisions. E - Empathy: Understanding and valuing the perspectives of others is essential for building trust and creating an inclusive culture. Empathetic leaders listen, learn, and adapt to the needs of their team and stakeholders. As we navigate the complexities of modern leadership, it's worth reflecting on how we can embody these principles. Are we leading with authenticity, boldness, connection, dedication, and empathy? How can we further align our actions with our purpose? Read the full article https://bit.ly/4bwtWwh #PurposefulLeadership #Authenticity #Boldness #Connection #Empathy #LeadershipDevelopment

The recently released 35th edition of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's KIDS COUNT® Data Book is out and it provides some sobering, yet somewhat expected information. The data reveals (among other things) that due to the COVID-19 pandemic's massive disruption to education, student math and reading scores in the United States have plummeted. Today's students represent America's incoming workforce, but they are now critically underprepared in the high-level skills of reading, math and problem-solving required to succeed. Our children's futures - and our shared future prosperity - depend on the actions we take today. #Childwellbeing #Datainsights

White allies - share if you want to help spread awareness! 🌟 Join the conversation! In an eye-opening interview with Ine Velaers and Antonio T. Smith, Jr.. Antonio T. Smith Jr. dives deep into the complexities of ReSegregation in America. As a European, Ine grapples with understanding this issue, but reading Smith's book sheds light on the stark differences between European and American social structures. 🚀 Antonio seizes the opportunity to debunk misconceptions about ReSegregation, especially its impact on marginalized groups like Black women. He advocates for action, urging us to use our privilege to dismantle systemic barriers and support Black entrepreneurship. 💡 What can we do as white people? Let's leverage our privilege to make a difference, acknowledge our benefits from it, and celebrate the Black community's call for equality instead of ReSegregation. Together, we can strive for inclusivity, fairness, and equal opportunities for all. 🌍 This interview highlights the urgent need for collective action to address ReSegregation's impact globally. Let's empower communities and advocate for inclusive policies, reflecting a nuanced understanding of this issue and offering practical solutions for resilience and independence. 👩‍💼 About Ine Velaers: A corporate leader with 24 years of experience, Ine founded AdminVanguard to empower women in administrative roles and redefine leadership.

What sets the best board members apart? In our work with Corporate Board Member magazine, we found that the best predictor of success was not tenure, committee roles, or even deep industry experience. The biggest differentiator turns out to be how board members collaborate with management and each other. Digging deeper into our work with exemplary directors, we found a repeatable approach that helps board members maximize their value to the companies and boards they serve.

#Accoutantability. Some good tips. The foundation: “It turns out, people perceive accountability in one of two ways — and which type leaders cultivate will determine how their teams perform: Threatening: Punitive accountability, the kind most leaders typically think of and practice, involves reprimanding people for mistakes and failures, creating a culture of threat and blame. Worthy challenge: Accountability perceived as a worthy challenge views taking ownership of a task as an opportunity for growth, and sees missteps as chances to improve. Leaders should strive for the second type of accountability, as there is now significant research suggesting that encouraging a #GrowthMindset accelerates individual performance, learning and adaptability, and overall well-being. And because growth-oriented accountability rewards employees for taking #risks and encourages a growth mindset, it has knock-on benefits for team #culture. In particular, it compels people to find #solutions to the mistakes others have made rather than blaming or shaming them. Because employees can see there are benefits to learning and growing while taking ownership of their work, they feel more personally invested in accepting important challenges.”

“Like finding hidden gems in your backyard, broadening the scope of leadership development can uncover talent that can drive your business forward.” An eye-opening perspective on leadership. Leadership potential isn’t a quality that’s only tied to traditional markers like seniority or current job title. It’s just as much about one’s ability to inspire, innovate, and navigate challenges. These are characteristics that can be found throughout all ranks of the organization, which is why we need leadership development to be more widely accessible. Not only does this give more employees a chance to shine, but it is also setting the business up to be more dynamic, innovative, and resilient. #leadershipdevelopment #diversity #leadership
