Undercover Boss

Blog: Author: Pam Bilbrey | Source: HCI | 17 hours ago

All eyes might have been on the Superbowl this past Sunday evening but I anxiously awaited the premiere of Undercover Boss , a “formatted documentary” show that follows executives as they assume front line jobs in their own companies. The show takes the workforce reframe, “executives don’t know what really goes on around here,” and provides an opportunity for executives to experience the good, bad and ugly of the day-to day activities within their companies. The intent of the experience is to position the executive to see how things can be done better at the company. Indeed, the first episode featuring the COO of a waste management company resulted in a number of changes after his experience, including raises for those handling multiple jobs to ways to make the company more female-friendly (The Los Angeles Times, January 10, 2010.) more »

Leaders on Leadership

     Webcast: December 17, 2009
Developing leadership talent is one of a company's most important challenges. Over the past 6 years, the executive producers at 50 Lessons have conducted hundreds of interviews with global, C-level leaders in an effort to unearth the choices and wisdom responsible for an executive's success. The insights gleaned from these interviews reveal traits and competencies that are common amongst successful leaders. Unfortunately, many leadership development programs feature content and methodologies that fail to inspire and motivate both existing and emerging leaders to develop these capabilities. Join us to learn more about these insights, the leadership skills and traits that are advocated and how you can effectively cultivate these in your management and leadership teams.

Don't miss these webcast take-away's; leave with insights to better understand:

  • The relationship and distinctions between management and leadership.
  • The fundamental leadership traits, skills and competencies cited most frequently by successful leaders.
  • The critical leadership trait that most development programs fail to address.
  • Simple, innovative and cost-effective approaches to enabling leadership development experiences.

    Engagement Before Day One- Online Processes Behind Practical Onboarding

         Webcast: July 7, 2009

    Whether your customers or your talent has a good experience that evokes a feeling of connectedness, it's rarely by accident. Onboarding processes that are carefully designed for ease of execution can also engage your talent before "Day One." Engagement leads to productivity and retention of critical talent. All this relies on onboarding and assimilation processes that are embraced and brought to life by stakeholders and supporting technology. This webcast will feature successful on-line onboarding processes at IBM that connect new talent to the organization before day one.

    Don't miss these webcast take aways:

  • Why IBM automated their offer and onboarding process
  • Description of the online onboarding processes and workflow
  • Streamlining tasks performed by the candidate, by the recruiter and by the manager
  • Prehire and "Your First Day" websites to access critical resources
  • New hire surveys that support and sustain improvements

    Unload Your Brain

         Blog: Author: Joshua Ehrlich | Source: HCI | December 21, 2009

    What are the essential strategies to think, focus and lead? All of us are running faster and faster as technology shreds our attention. We desperately need to take back control by learning to stop, reflect and focus. The discipline of paying attention has an immediate impact on performance and accelerates learning. Over the last 15 years of coaching executives I have found that knowing how and where to focus is critical to learning leadership skills. It is also vital for organizational effectiveness.   more »

    ROI Speak! Use Business Language to Make Your Case

         Webcast: January 26, 2010

    Do you speak language understood by your CFO, CIO and CEO? To get and keep a seat at the executive table, senior HR and talent leaders need to communicate in the language of business, especially when making their ROI case for talent initiatives. This webcast will cover a successful talent case study, from work done at Wachovia, pitched to the perspective of business decision makers. It passes the tests of HR's credibility and role as a valued business partner (earned by diagnosing, prescribing, and implementing targeted and relevant interventions), and by partnering with executive leaders using information they need to run their business and produce results.  You'll leave with insights about collecting data that demonstrates business impact, and how talent creates value, measured in business dashboard terms.
