Wow! This is it. For some time I have thought on creating a Blog but always found the idea both exciting and intimidating. If you are reading this, I want to thank you for your time and say Welcome to The Leadership Corner Blog!
WHY I’VE STARTED THIS BLOG
Having spent more than a decade in the business world, I, same as many of you, have been able to observe the many technological, social and economical changes that have helped us to or forced us to change the ways we work until today.
Only in the last decade, many of us have gone from working from a desktop, seating physically in the office (some times until the late evening or stopping by for a few hours during the weekend, to finalize that important task before Monday morning), to the much more practical laptop and, ultimately gaining access not only to our email but a wide variety of work and productivity applications at the palm of our hands in a device that fits in our pockets, and for some, even right on our wrists -thanks smart watches. But as technology has kept evolving, so our society, businesses and social responsibilities, creating a better but more complex environment to navigate.
Over the last years, I have seen and experienced myself how overwhelming all of the above mentioned factors can be when assessing a situation, making the right choice, fighting or addressing biases (everyone has biases), and shaping strong business strategies, all of it while managing a multi cultural and multi generational workforce in which different employees bring their unique value to the organizations, as well as their own needs.
Having partnered with colleagues, business leaders and through many conversations with other professionals in my network, it is clear to me that, whether entrepreneurs or organization based, people managers or not, emerging or experienced professionals, all leaders with the title or not, have many more items to consider when planning successful strategies than ever before.
