How To Manage Future Leaders - Masterclass with Greg Kinnaird
This week's HR Uprising Podcast episode is a Masterclass with Greg Kinnaird of Corporate Learning Solutions, who discusses the future of the workplace, and how best we can manage and empower our future leaders. Among the topics covered are how leaders must adapt and change in order to empower their organisations remotely, the importance of technology in a future workplace landscape, and why the environment is just as important as the work itself. KEY TAKEAWAYS The COVID situation has created a “pressure cooker” situation, in which all organisations are being forced to examine every layer of their business in order to see what’s working, and what isn’t. Certainly, the role of leaders has changed. We are not only trying our best to work remotely, but also to empower our teams and build the trust required in order to let them work without direct sight. Indeed, emotional intelligence is all about self-awareness. Leaders can often be unaware of the impact they leave on others due to their unconscious bias, or their lack of security in trusting others to operate. As leaders, the environment itself should be foremost in the mind when assembling our workforce. Productivity can increase exponentially by making sure our teams can work to their strengths due to environmental planning.
