Dr. Sean Hayes, a Clinical Psychologist, and I discuss the current situation and offer practical tips to move to more solid ground.

As you may recall, last summer I partnered with Dr. Sean Hayes and Dominique Laverdiere of Cohaesio Inc. to write a topical, evidence-based article. We explored the impact of the abrupt transformation triggered by the Covid 19 pandemic, as well as the impact of the socio-political movements (i.e., #Me2, BLM, and Truth and Reconciliation) upon the workplace. In the article we outline how the pandemic and subsequent lockdown had a revolutionary impact on our lives, processes, and organizations. We propose that the characteristics required of leaders to effectively respond and succeed in this new era of work have changed and this necessitates a new model of leadership.  In our brief, third video Dr. Hayes and I discuss the Character Model from my book, Leadership by Engagement. The first step in aligning your behaviour (words and actions) with what you want to achieve/who you want to be as a leader, is to honestly confront your Intention. Intention is comprised of beliefs, values (what is important to you), objectives and goals. Once you are clear, it is time to ensure that the leadership team is on the same page. Take the example of Performance Management/Talent Development. As a coach and facilitator, I know it is very common for leaders to have divergent perspectives on this subject. Keep talking to the employee when there is a gap between expected and actual performance or levy a consequence? Ignore the issue to avoid conflict? These are important questions (and there are many more) for leaders to answer in order to have consistency within the organization. View the video link at top of Blog to hear more about this discussion. Please refer to our article for some concrete actions leaders and leadership teams can take to enhance their ‘character’. As so many clients are enjoying this summer, we are scheduling our next video and blog for September 2022. The next subject is how to manage thoughts and feelings once your intention is clear in order to act in alignment. I wish you a safe and enjoyable summer.
