Ever feel like you’re trying to boil the ocean?
Engaging in the grandiose task of doing all the things all the time can feel akin to chasing the horizon — exhausting and endlessly elusive. But fear not, we’re here to throw you a lifeline!
🎱 Ask the big questions!
Mariabrisa Oliveres, the sage Chief People Officer at Owkin, dropped some wisdom in a recent People Developing People interview. Mariabrisa says HR is there to ask the big questions:
🧭 Where are we going?
🛶 How are we going to get there?
🧰 Do we have what we need?
🧗♂️ Are we challenging ourselves enough?
After all, HR leaders are expected to have all the answers.
That’s why Mariabrisa also encourages HR leaders to be kind to themselves and to build a network of other leaders they can call for support.
🫂 Remember the people
Ironically, even for People leaders, it’s easy to forget the “people” part in the tech-addicted race for efficiency. Mariabrisa reminds us that, especially for learning, the human element needs to be at the center:
Learning is about changing mindsets. It’s about learning new behaviors or new skills. And for that to be embedded, it requires a change in the human.
🧞♂️ The magic you’ve been looking for
Tired of playing corporate Whac-A-Mole, where solving one problem just invites two more to pop up? What if the solution has been under your nose this whole time, disguised as your managers?
Investing in manager training is like finding a cheat code for business success:
✨ Engagement? Watch it climb.
🧲 Retention? Through the stratosphere.
⚡ Productivity? Hold onto your hats.
🌈 Inclusivity? You betcha.
All it takes is a pinch of managerial magic dust.
🎁 But wait. There’s more!
Yes, we hear you muttering, “I don’t have the time or the budget.”
But helping your managers become better leaders isn’t just another task on your to-do list. It’s the most important task.
💭 Picture teams that are so well-oiled, they practically run themselves.
💌 Imagine managers who lead with such flair and wisdom, your engagement surveys start to look like love letters.
(Did we go too far?)
But really, manager training is super important and incredibly impactful. (Check out these 5 reasons why.) And it doesn’t have to be a budget buster or a calendar crusher.
