Management Perspectives

There is substantial research showing that people who are successful in a holistic way—not just at making money—have high emotional intelligence. Do not confuse intelligence quotient (IQ) with EQ. Effective leaders allow themselves to be emotional privately. They process it, then come back and give the public their best selves, communicating constructively and listening more than talking.

No organisation or industry can think of having a future without incorporating data, talent, and learning in its operations. The future is still young and these three have a role to play in shaping it.

Security culture is not something that can be built overnight. Having said that, sustained investments in security culture will bring better security RoI in the long run and help organisations build a human defence layer that every industry today desperately needs.

Organisations can no longer afford to separate their ‘employees’ from the ‘humans’ they are in their personal capacity, nor will they be able to separate their business purpose from that of the teams bringing this purpose to life.

Employees are pretty observant; they do not miss much. The actions and behaviours they see modeled and the ideals their immediate supervisor appears to value will inform their decisions and behaviour at work. If they see a management team that prioritises tasks, efficiencies, and productivity (job functions), then that is what they will focus on—often at the expense of the company’s own mission.

Who hold the onus of managing generational diversity then? Is it the more mature generation i.e., boomers and Generation X or the relatively younger generations millennials and Generation Z? Undoubtedly, this onus lies with every generation.

Running a company in today’s world is anything but easy as leaders face a perpetually unsteady state that impacts their decision-making. Courageously pursuing positive ideas will provide the ballast needed to navigate today’s unsteady waters.

Humans are flawed by design, but each day we can get a little bit better, a little more empathetic, and a little more patient. Emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence are primary ingredients to great leadership.

The metaverse has actually been around for quite a while now, especially in gaming. It holds a lot of promise for marketing and sales. But are brands listening?

Brands are not just built around beliefs and biases of the past. About 5 per cent of the time, we use a process of deliberation to make choices where we use spreadsheets to look at the cost benefits and logic to evaluate the pros and cons of choices. Marketers can leverage the power of cognitive biases for designing, positioning, and/or repositioning their brands.

Healthy organisations are successful and need healthy leaders. But what exactly do we mean by this and why does it matter?

All around the world, impact networks are being cultivated to address complex issues in healthcare, education, science, technology, the environment, economic justice, the arts, human rights, and more. They mark the next evolution in the way humans are organising to create meaningful change.
