April 2016 Happy Spring! One of the things that I feel very fortunate to do in my line of work is to meet new people every day. I find it so rewarding to hear the range of stories from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Whether it's having coffee with a colleague I've known for years, reconnecting with someone I haven't seen in a while or getting introduced to someone for the first time, it is inspiring to learn something about each individual that enlightens me. I just returned from an on-going client engagement in Miami where I have had the opportunity to provide career development training for several of their offices. Meeting new people, hearing their stories and being able to play a part in their career management efforts is beyond exciting for me! Please share your career stories and updates with me. I look forward to hearing from you! Recent topics I've explored are 'The Value of Multigenerational Teams' and 'Values Driven Leadership'. Please take a moment to read below and feel free to forward along to others. Thank you! Best
Regards,
The Value of Multigenerational Teams By:
Rita Balian Allen, Rita B. Allen Associates Do you currently work with someone as a peer, manager, direct report or other colleague that was born in a different generation than your own? Chances are high that your answer is yes. Today's market place has four generations in the workforce at the same time and slowly creeping up to five. This enhances our outlook and creativity tremendously offering a depth of perspective we would not otherwise experience. It also can present challenges that require us to push our thinking and our practices in new and different ways. There are many opportunities to having a multigenerational team. The range of experiences, beliefs, assets, values, motivations and relationships within these generations can't be underscored. In fact, they can add tremendous value to how we do our work, how we collaborate and how we enhance productivity. Of course, with opportunity, there are always challenges and potential conflicts. If we embrace the conflicts as inevitable and work to manage them strategically, the benefits highly outweigh the challenges. Read the full article, "The Value of Multigenerational Teams"...
Values Driven Leadership By:
Rita Balian Allen, Rita B. Allen Associates Can you identify your top 5 values and do you allow it to help you build a strong foundation of personal empowerment and leadership? We make a wide range of choices and decisions every day. Along the way, we follow an internal voice that guides us directly or indirectly…and sometimes creates a tug of war or challenge for us. At times, we may feel this tug and don’t quite understand why and/or cannot identify the source of this struggle. Some of you may easily resonate with this statement while some of you may be a bit puzzled by it. |
