Leading Through Care: Five Key Areas that Support Employee Engagement and Well-Being in a Post-Management World
Two years into a pandemic, and COVID is still reaching new peaks. Your people are burned out, disillusioned, and heading for the door. A record number quit their jobs last quarter. Leaders are burning out too, right when companies need their energy and guidance the most. With our workforces scattered and disillusioned, leaders and managers often feel helpless as they cannot turn to their usual playbooks to regain control. This session will explore why this is a good thing. Together, we will unpack how we do not just long for a post-pandemic world, we also can embrace that we are in a post-management world: One in which our role is to support and facilitate employee self-motivation, rather than managing them from above. And we’ll look at evidence that this approach is likely the solution to employee engagement, inclusion, and well-being you have been striving for all along, well before a pandemic arrived. As we’ll see, there is a great opportunity to transform how we define our mission, understand employee experience, provide training, communicate, and gauge performance – all based in a clear and powerful model for self-determination backed by 40 years of data.
