It should be easily understandable and should have separate sections for different asset types. A well-defined IPS should typically lead committee members to the same conclusion, even without an advisor's input.The fiduciary investment review is another important tool for evaluating investments. The information presented should align with ERISA's dictates on prudence and should break down investments into different categories, evaluating them based on style analytics, risk return against benchmarks, peer group rankings, and qualitative factors like manager tenure and expense ratios. Meeting minutes document the committee's decision-making process and provide a record of the discussions and actions taken. They demonstrate that the committee is following a sound process and making prudent decisions based on the information available.“To the young ERISA practitioner, don't be afraid of the committee member who asks tough questions. Engage them. Those are the individuals, frankly, that are going to make you a better practitioner.” - Joel ShapiroConnect with Joel Shapiro:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-shapiro-687b044/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstance of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.

Meet Dotty PostoDotty started out as a business analyst and project manager. In these roles she repeatedly got 'Does Not Play Well with Others'. It wasn't until she was introduced to Change Management and Organizational Development work and received transformational coaching that her career and life shifted. Dotty has worked with iconic brands like The Chicago Tribune, KPMG Peat Marwick, Hewitt Associates, Harley Davidson, and Molson Coors. Dotty is a Leadership Consultant and Coach specializing in helping leaders and teams turn around the Curse of Cordial Hypocrisy where bullies have created a 'nice' organization and it's costing them money and opportunities and creating more risk. What is the curse of cordial hypocrisy?So, the curse of cordial hypocrisy is when you have people being nice, being agreeing. They're either being silent or they're being agreeable and it's a lie. So maybe they're afraid of someone or maybe they've been shut down in the past.Maybe there's someone who's just really dominating every conversation. And so they either stay silent or agree when they really don't agree. It creates a lot of problems in an organization because then you've got lower productivity in the background because people are behind the scenes.I'm not doing that. I don't agree with that. So there's all of this conversation in the background that is in disagreement with whatever was going on. Then whatever project or whatever they're trying to move forward isn't going to move forward. They're not going to get the same traction. They're not going to have the same speed. They're not going to have the same results. If not, everyone is in alignment, and not everyone agrees and not everyone wants to move forward. And you'll also find where people are doing this out of loyalty because they've been here a really long time.People aren't tapping into their own wisdom and the group is not leveraging the wisdom of everybody on their team.Do you do you actually see a difference in various industries or sectors and receptivity to these ideas? And if you do, what are some of the tools that people can use if it's not as natural for them to bring these into into how they do their work?I think there's validity to what you're saying in terms of manufacturing often being the old school or an old style of leadership. And when I say old style, some more of a command and control.I think age is part of it. There was a gentleman in a manufacturing plant I did some work with. After the eight months that I worked with them, the CEO retired. So he was an older leader and he and his leadership team, some of which were older, some of who were in their kind of mid career, and it took some time. They did create openness, but with that top leader being open to it.He has built some social capital with that team, and so I think that is a critical piece to have the trust. I was working with the HR manager who I had also worked with earlier in my career, and it took a bit for him to kind of crack open a little bit. But the more you've got senior leadership involved, this can make a difference. And it made a huge difference on his team. He had some very volatile leaders. He had some very defensive leaders. There's one activity that we did in the beginning that absolutely changed things. 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer:Navigating a Polarized WorldBuilding Trust: In Business, Politics, Relationships, and Life by Robert C.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.onlifekor.huA munkatársfelvétel a legfontosabb döntésünk vezetőként – és az egyetlen stratégiai jelentőségű döntés, amelyet minden vezetőnk meghoz, a szervezet legalacsonyabb szintjein is. Ehhez képest a legtöbb munkahelyen gyengén, megérzésekre (vagy áltudományos tesztekre) alapozva, a lehető legkevesebb időt is energiát befektetve végzik ezt. Lehet azonban máshogy is. Létezhet olyan szervezet, amelyben a vezetők:* pontosan tudják, milyen tulajdonságokat és készségeket keresnek a következő években,* eldöntik, hogyan fogják mérni ezt az interjúk során,* ezt az egész szervezetben bevezetik kiválasztási kritériumként,* végül pedig mérik és fejlesztik a módszereiket.Ebben a sorozatban elmondjuk, hogyan legyen ilyen a te szervezeted is. Hogyan alakítsd a szervezeted kiválasztási stratégiáját?1. Döntsd el, milyen csapatot / szervezetet szeretnélAz előző hetekben többször ismétlődött a következő jelenetsor:* Egy menedzser beszámol egy munkatársról, akit néhány hónap után el kellett küldenie.* Amikor megkérdezem, hogy miért, elmond 2-3 kulcsfontosságú képességet vagy tulajdonságot, amely hiányzott belőle.* Ezután megkérdezem: „És bevettél egy olyan kérdést az interjúba, amellyel ezekre a készségekre, tulajdonságokra szűrsz? Hogy ilyen ne forduljon elő a jövőben.”Ezután minden alkalommal homlokcsapkodás, és sűrű jegyzetelés következett. „Tényleg! Erre nem is gondoltam. Megcsinálom.” És valóban: miért kövessük el újra és újra ugyanazt a hibát? És miért kövesse el a szervezetem többi tagja ugyanazt a kiválasztási hibát, ami nekem is sok fejfájást okozott? Rendben van, hogy egyszer behúznak a csőbe… de még egyszer, ugyanúgy? Engedem majd, vagy már most teszek ellene? Hiszen épp most jöttem rá, hogy milyen szervezetet NEM szeretnék építeni. Hogy milyen embert NEM akarok a csapatomban látni. És nem ez az egyetlen helyzet, amikor ilyen felismerésekre juthatunk. Remélem, hogy rendszeresen feltesszük magunknak a következő kérdéseket menedzserként, vagy felső vezetőként:Mi vár ránk a jövőben? Milyen új készségekre van szükségünk a következő években? Merre változik a piac, a technológia, az iparágunk, a fogyasztóink? Milyen új termékeink érkeznek? Ez új készségeket, viselkedéseket kíván? Mi várható a következő 3-5 évben? Ezek a kérdések igazak mind a szakmai tudásra, mind a kultúrára!Példa: ha eddig csak viszonteladókon keresztül értékesítettünk, de a piac jó része a direct-to-customer értékesítés felé halad, akkor ez más viselkedéseket és tapasztalatot követel meg számos munkakörben.Milyen szervezetet szeretnék építeni? És az egész cég milyen irányba szeretne elmozdulni? Milyen viselkedésekből szeretnék többet látni – és melyekből kevesebbet? Miben szeretnék változást elérni a szervezetben? Mi zavar, és mi tesz elégedetté a csapattagjaimat látva? Ez a kérdés szintén igaz a szakmai tudásra és a kultúrára is!Példa: a vállalatunk eddig monopol helyzetben volt, a következő években azonban több nagyvállalat is belép a piacunkra. Növekszik a verseny, az innovációs nyomás. Milyen szervezetre lesz szükségünk, ha megtörténik ez a változás? Milyen új készségeket kell behoznunk a szervezetbe?Amikor ilyen kérdésekkel találkozol, annak hatással kell lennie a kiválasztási folyamataidra is. Ha a stratégiai változásodat nem követi le tudatos változás a kiválasztásban is, akkor egy reggel arra ébredsz, hogy nem a megfelelő emberek vesznek körbe. Ez pedig sok esetben egy halálos ítélettel ér fel – akár kis csapatban, akár nagy szervezetben dolgozol. Hiába van rendben a „stratégia”, hiába jók az ötletek, elképzelések, taktikák. Ha nincs ott a megfelelő ember, aki végigvigye azt, akkor annyit ér az ötleted, mint a papír, amire írtad.Ha vezetők vezetőjeként dolgozol, kérd meg a menedzser csapattagjaidat, hogy küldjék el az általuk összeállított listát. Ők hogyan válaszolnának ezekre a kérdésekre? Ha egyéni szakértők dolgoznak neked, akkor vond be őket a válaszadásba.Segíthet a válaszban, ha végiggondolják a következőket:* Milyen jó és rossz tapasztalataik voltak az előző hónapokban jobb / gyengébb kezdő munkatársakkal?* Gondoljanak a csúcsteljesítőikre: mit csinálnak jól? Ez ugyanilyen fontos volt korábban is?* Milyen szakmai tudás értékes jelenleg a munkaerőpiacon? Van olyan eszköz / technológia, amely a közeljövőben kritikus fontosságú lesz?Miután összeállították a listát, gyűjtsd össze a válaszaikat, és a sajátjaiddal kiegészítve válaszd ki a legfontosabb kritériumokat. Ha van átfedés közöttük, csoportosítsd őket, és próbálj meg több készséget vagy tulajdonságot is lefedni egy általános jellemzővel. Például a „könnyű vele együttműködni”, a „jól dolgozik csapatban”, és a „gyors és proaktív kommunikáció” ugyanazon kritérium alá rendezhető. (Legyen mondjuk: együttműködő.) Ha gondolod, beszéljetek erről a heti csapatmeetingen is: arra viszont figyelj, hogy ne menjen el túl sok idő a vitára. Nem az a lényeg, hogy a lapon található 3-4 szempontot tökéletessé tegyétek, hanem az, hogy a megfelelő embereket vegyétek fel ez alapján.Ha megvannak a legfontosabb szempontok, akkor fogalmazd meg őket röviden, frappánsan, néhány szóban.* Keményen dolgozik. Ambíciózus. Kedves. Alázatos. Okos. KAKAO* Vagy ennek angol változata, a Hewitt Associates-től: SWAN (Smart, Works hard, Ambitious, Nice)* Nem kell, hogy betűszó legyen! A lényeg, hogy kialakuljon belőle, hogy milyen típusú embert kerestek, és milyet NEM. (Nem feltétlenül személyiségre vonatkozik, mégha lehetnek benne ilyen feltételek is.)Ha ez megvan, a feladatunk annyi, hogy frissítjük ezen kritériumokkal a felvételi folyamatunkat. És itt felmerül a kérdés: van jól strukturált, viselkedésalapú felvételi folyamat a szervezetedben? Ha van, az nagyszerű hír: ebben az esetben ugorhatsz is az adás következő pontjára. Ha nincs, akkor is van egy jó hírem: azért adtuk ki Az eredményes kiválasztás kézikönyvét, hogy már holnap elkezdhesd bevezetni. Hogyan?* Az első lehetőség: elkezded kidolgozni a szervezeti kiválasztási kritériumokat, és ezután vezeted be a viselkedésalapú, strukturált felvételi folyamatot a szervezetedben.* A másik lehetőség, hogy először bevezeted az általunk ajánlott strukturált felvételi folyamatot a jelenlegi nyitott pozícióidra, és csak ezután kezded el feltárni a szervezeti kiválasztási kritériumokat.* A harmadik út, amit leginkább javaslunk: kezdd el mindkettőt egyszerre. Vezesd be a strukturált felvételi folyamatot, amelybe már beépíted az első szervezeti kiválasztási kritériumokat.Lehet, hogy ez sok munkának tűnik, de valójában eltörpül egy rosszul kiválasztott kolléga nyűgje mellett. Ha sok nyitott pozíciótok van, indulj el a legfontosabbakkal, és haladj onnan visszafelé! Ha jelenleg nincs nyitott pozíciótok, akkor is végigmehetsz a folyamaton: válaszd ki a 2-3 leggyakrabban keresett pozíciót, és előre dolgozd ki a viselkedésalapú kérdéssort, és a hozzá tartozó szervezeti kiválasztási kritériumokat.Ha a fentiekkel megvagy, akkor kezdődik a valódi munka: már tudod, milyen embert keresel, de hogyan szűrj rá a kiválasztás során? Nézzük meg!2. Határozd meg, milyen kérdések szűrnek ezekre a kritériumokraAz első pontig sokan eljutnak: „Srácok, ne vegyünk már fel legközelebb olyan embert, aki egy Excel-riportot nem tud összeállítani!” vagy „Legközelebb ne adjunk ajánlatot olyan senior munkatársnak, aki nem hajlandó részt venni a mentorálásban.”Ez viszont még kevés. Nem elég, ha megegyezünk a kritériumokban. Nem elég, ha csak kimondjuk: „Ilyen emberre van szükségünk.” Néhányan talán megjegyzik, és próbálnak erre is figyelni a kiválasztás során, mások viszont elfelejtik, vagy nincs eszközük arra, hogy erre a készségre vagy tulajdonságra szűrjenek. Jelenleg tehát egy ötletünk van, ami jó, de megvalósítás nélkül nem sokat ér.Hogyan lesz az ötletből valóság? Kérdéseket (vagy bizonyos munkakörökhöz feladatokat) hozunk létre, amelyek rávilágítanak a jelölt ezen tulajdonságaira, készségeire – vagy épp ezek hiányára. Ezután kommunikáljuk a kérdéseket, és beépítjük az interjúfolyamatba, a szervezetben dolgozó minden egyes menedzsernél.Ha jelenleg is viselkedésalapú kérdésekkel dolgozol, akkor könnyebb dolgod van: hozz létre új kérdéseket a kritériumok mentén, és tedd be az interjúkérdések közé! (Mindjárt megnézzük, hogyan.) Ha nem strukturált felvételi folyamatod van, akkor is hozz létre ilyen kérdéseket, és vezesd be a szervezetedben. Ez egy kiváló lehetőség arra, hogy elkezdd strukturálni a folyamatot – anélkül, hogy mindent megváltoztatnál. Tehát a kollégáid csináljanak mindent úgy, mint eddig, de ezt a néhány kérdést kötelezően tegyék fel az interjúfolyamat során minden jelöltnek.Hogyan hozz létre viselkedésalapú kérdéseket? Az eredményes kiválasztás kézikönyvében részletes útmutatót kapsz ehhez. A kérdés három részből áll:* a felvezetés, amely elmondja, miért releváns ez a kérdés a munkakör kapcsán;* egy konkrét viselkedés, amelyet ellenőrizni szeretnénk,* mindez egy nyitott kérdésbe ágyazva, ahol ő dönti el, milyen konkrét tapasztalatot hoz be az életéből.Nézzünk erre egy konkrét példát. A KAKAO modell alapján olyan embereket kereshetünk a cégünkhöz, akik alázatosak. Ennek oka lehet, hogy korábban bekerült jónéhány személy a csapatba, akik nagy rombolást vittek végbe. Hogyan? Lekezelően nyilatkoztak mások munkájáról, a tapasztalatuk miatt semmibe vették a junior kollégák erőfeszítéseit, és nem egyeztettek olyan személyekkel, akik nem a szakterületükön dolgoztak. Ezt a viselkedéscsomagot alázatnak neveztük el – most pedig megnézzük, hogyan tudunk erre szűrni a felvételi folyamat során. Feltehetjük például a következő kérdést:Ebben a senior adószakértői pozícióban rendszeresen kell ügyfelekkel, más szakterületeken dolgozó kollégákkal, és junior munkatársakkal egyeztetned. Kiemelten fontos tehát, hogy ezt profin és előzékenyen tegyük. Mesélj egy olyan helyzetről, amelyben nagy nyomás alatt kellett együtt dolgoznod más területről kollégákkal – olyanokkal is, akik egyáltalán nem értenek a te munkádhoz. Hogyan csináltad?Nézzünk egy másik példát is. Tegyük fel, hogy a szervezetünk szeretne felkészülni a rendkívül gyors technológiai változásokra. Azt szeretnénk, ha olyan emberekkel lenne tele a csapat, akik nemcsak hajlandóak gyorsan belépni a bizonytalanba, hanem ők kezdeményezik azt. Erre a kritériumra úgy hivatkozunk, hogy innovatív. Hogyan szűrjünk rá a felvételi folyamat során? Feltehetjük például a következő kérdést:Cégünknél nagy hangsúlyt fektetünk arra, hogy nálunk jelenjenek meg először a legújabb technológiai megoldások. Ez sok kísérletezéssel, gyors változással, és időnként kudarcokkal jár. Mesélj egy olyan helyzetről, amiben rövid időn belül sok változást kellett bevezetned a saját munkádban, és segíteni a csapatot is az átállásban. Hogy csináltad? (Megjegyzés: látod, hogy ez a kérdés kevésbé vezetőknek szól. Gondold át, hogy vezetőknél hogyan fogalmaznád át ezt a kérdést!)Amellett, hogy feltesszük ezt a kérdést, megtehetjük, hogy a többi kérdésnél is figyelünk ilyen viselkedésekre. Ha valaki a többi kérdés során nem mutatja az „alázat” jeleit (azaz másokról leértékelően beszél), vagy többször is negatívan nyilatkozik a változásokról, jobban szeret meglévő folyamatokon belül mozogni, akkor már választ is kaptunk a kérdésre.3. Határozd meg, milyen válaszok mutatják, hogy a jelölt megfeleltEz a folyamat legnehezebb része. Hiába a jó kérdés, ha nem tudjuk, mi legyen a válaszban. Könnyen lehet, hogy az elején nem tudod, hogy mit keress. Épp ezért várd meg, míg lemegy néhány interjú, és csak ezután határozd meg a válaszokat – az alapján, hogy kit vettetek fel, és kit nem vettetek fel.Nézzünk egy példát az „alázatra”. Ha valaki azt mondja a fenti kérdésre: „Ó, persze, engem bármikor bárki kereshet, ha kérdése van a szakterületem kapcsán”, de nem tud konkrét példát mondani arra, hogy hogyan vesz részt senior szakértőként proaktívan a csapat életében, az nem túl bíztató. Ha a kommunikációra kérdezünk rá, és arról mesél, hogyan küld el 10-20-30 e-mailt egy nap, az lehet, hogy épp egy gyengeségre mutat rá: egyetlen csatornán hajlandó kommunikálni.Ha Az eredményes kiválasztás kézikönyve alapján dolgoztad ki a folyamatot, akkor 10-20 interjú után már egészen éles képed lesz a válaszokról. Az eredményrögzítő megbeszélés során mindenki bemutatja, hogy milyen válaszok alapján ajánlja (vagy épp nem ajánlja) a munkatárs felvételét. Kérdezz rá a meeting során: „Mivel demonstrálta a jelölt, hogy innovatív? Emlékeztek, ez egy új szervezeti kritérium, miből láttátok, hogy megfelel?” Vagy: „Miből láttátok, hogy a jelölt nem alázatos? Mit mondott, amiből azt szűrtétek le, hogy nem felel meg ennek a feltételnek?”Ebből a gyűjtésből már össze tudsz rakni egy segédletet ahhoz, hogy mit keressenek egy gyenge és erős válaszban.4. Gyűjtsd össze, mérd, és kommunikáld az eredményeketEzt a lépést gyakran elfelejtjük. Ha van egy új kiválasztási kritérium a szervezetben, gyűjtsük össze annak eredményeit, mérjük a hatást, és kommunikáljuk azt. Sokaknak mondtunk fel próbaidő alatt egy készség hiánya miatt? Nézzük a beválási arányt az új kritériumok mentén! Hogyan szűrnek a legjobb vezetőink, akiknél a legmagasabb a beválási arány? Ők milyen válaszokat néznek?Nem kell bonyolult kommunikációs kampányokra gondolnod. Megteheted például azt, hogy egy új pozíciónál végigmentek a kritériumokon, és a felvételiztető menedzsernek be kell mutatnia, hogy érti a feltételeket, és hogy hogyan fog ezekre szűrni a felvételi folyamat során. Ha valaki ezt nem hajlandó megtenni, oda felső vezetőként ne adjunk betölthető pozíciót. Ha valaki nem mutatja be a felvételi folyamat végén, hogy hogyan demonstrálta a jelölt ezt a tulajdonságot, akkor kérjünk még egy interjúkört.Szexi? Nem. Izgalmas? Nem igazán. Azonnali eredményt hoz? Nem. Konfliktusokkal jár majd? Igen.Az eredmény viszont vitathatatlan: 1-2 év múlva visszanézel, és azt látod, hogy megváltozott a szervezet kultúrája. Innovatívabb szervezetet, vállalatot kaptál. Együttműködőbb csapatokat. Az, ami egy beszélgetésből indult („Srácok, ilyen mérnököt nem kellene felvenni a csapatba, bármennyire is jó szakember…”), egy fejleszthető folyamaton keresztül valódi eredményekké vált a szervezetben.És a végére egy megjegyzés a HR-ről. Sokat hallunk a HR stratégiai szerepéről és HR Business Partnerekről. Egy jó HRBP ilyen stratégiai célokat karol fel, és segíti a vezetőket, hogy ilyen kritériumokat fogalmazzanak meg, majd segítik a bevezetést és a folyamat fejlesztését. Nem ők találják ki a kritériumokat, hanem meghallják a menedzserek stratégiai terveit, és lefordítják azt valódi, kézzelfogható viselkedésekre, kérdésekre és válaszokra. A fenti jegyzet és hanganyag saját, személyes, nemkereskedelmi felhasználásra készült.

Host Tom Dutta asked Craig to explain his traumas and maltreatment that led to his transformation in his life to serve through a higher source.  He said: "For 25 years, I led the life of a busy global executive — 2.5 million miles on one airline and 1.0 million miles on another. I actually bragged about this status. Looking back, I was living, but I was not ALIVE. Life was great until it wasn't. One day, my doctor ordered bed rest. My version of bedrest was my laptop, cell phone and conference calls from my bed. At that moment, I knew my current lifestyle had become my new normal, and something had to change! I had to become an advocate for my own health and lifestyle. "  ABOUT CRAIG BRUCE: Craig is a former burned-out global executive who struggled with exhaustion, poor sleep, inconsistent food choices, and feeling confident in his skin. He was so driven that his global lifestyle started to impact his health. He has since transformed his health and changed his lifestyle through the use of science-based behaviours. Now, as a High-Performance Lifestyle Consultant, he empowers high-performing business leaders and entrepreneurs to achieve even more success in their careers without sacrificing their lives & critical relationships.   Craig is an international speaker who shared the stage with Sharon Lechter, Les Brown, Bill Walsh, James Dentley and Noel Lee. He has also been featured on podcasts & stages across the US and Latin America and is releasing his book – Winning at the Game of Life and Business in 2023.  He holds an MBA from Vanderbilt University and a business degree from UNC-Chapel Hill.

He has also worked as a Health Coach and educator for the Equinox Sports Club Los Angeles and owns his own high-performance lifestyle business. He's partnered with hundreds of clients to ignite their energy and live a life with even more clarity, intention and integrity.

Do you remember your first job? Darcy Eikenberg wins the prize for having one of the most unusual first work experiences. During the holidays in her central Illinois hometown, she was a talking mailbox at her local shopping mall. Imagine how a job like that would have made her resume stand out in her early career pursuits! Darcy has roots that run deep when it comes to her relationship with work. She told me the story of her paternal grandfather who lost his father at age 14. He helped his Mom and eight siblings by going to work immediately at a local factory in Baltimore, Maryland, remaining there for over thirty years and retiring as the company's chairman and CEO. Darcy's father also worked for the company much of his career. The message was solid, “We had opportunities in front of us, and we needed to share with others and be able to contribute to helping others too and not just focus on ourselves.” Darcy stays true to those who came before her and yet, she has carved her own path in honoring the dignity of work and service. Today, Darcy is an executive coach and the author of Red Cape Rescue, Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job, which shows how to get more of what you want, without changing careers, or finding a new job without sacrificing yourself. The red cape is a metaphor for the confidence you felt as a kid when you grabbed a towel or a sheet and threw it around your shoulders feeling in control, even if all you controlled was in the backyard. Darcy shared, “The red cape feeling is the key to helping us individually as well as across our world. What if you could feel that way every day at work? What would change for you and not only what would change for you, but what can change for your company, your community, and your world?” Darcy wears a lot of hats. She's been an executive coach to leaders at organizations such as The Coca-Cola Company, Microsoft, StateFarm, Deloitte consulting, and much more. She consults and speaks about career growth, employee engagement, and leadership development all over the world. She blogs regularly on leadership and career issues at redcaperevolution.com. Her ideas have been shared in the Harvard Business Review, Thrive Global, CNN.com, The Ladders, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Forbes, among others.

Description: This week I am speaking with Darcy Eikenberg, author of Red Cape Rescue: Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job. Let me read you a snippet from her bio. Darcy helps high-performance professionals accelerate their leadership in ways that work for their organizations and for themselves. With a practical, real-life perspective, and with over 20 years of experience working with top companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, Microsoft, and Deloitte, Darcy's clients consistently grow to greater levels of clarity, confidence, and control in their work and lives—all leading to better business results. Before launching her own business, Darcy was a Principal at human resources consulting firm Hewitt Associates (now part of Aon), where she served on both the Southeast and the North American Communication Consulting Leadership teams. In those roles, she was accountable for developing and retaining talent, building managers and teams, and growing a healthy bottom line. She also innovated and led an internal coaching program supporting high potential associates and high revenue teams. Darcy reached out to me about being on the podcast and offered me a copy of the book. After reading the book I thought this would be an ideal discussion to have in these crazy times. I found the book very actionable in helping people get their heads on straight. This episode is sponsored by Career Pivot. Check out the Career Pivot Community.

On this episode of The Shape of Work, we have Sayan Bandyopadhyay, AVP-HR (East) at HDFC Life. Having worked in the HR fraternity for more than 16 years, his previous stints include working at giants like Kotak Life Insurance, Asian Paints, and Hewitt Associates.Working across various HR functions, Sayan has plenty of expertise to share in this conversation.We discuss with Sayan:His journey of transitioning his career from business analysis to an HR roleWhy mental health initiatives have become ‘must-haves' across organizations todayBetter meetings make better days: the importance of running effective meetingsWhat builds the right culture inside HDFC Life's cultureThe importance of culture fit assessment in the hiring strategyMeetings hold a significant amount of importance in organizations. In the corporate world, people have to work across different functions and hence need collaboration. However, Sayan explains why having meetings for the sake of it is not fruitful. It has to have a well-thought-out schedule and purpose. Teams need to analyze:(1) the outcomes of the meeting.(2) who are required in the meeting.The meeting should have a proper structure, discussion, and proper notes.Culture as one of the intangibles of a workplace:Culture decides an employee's willingness and commitment towards the organization. A good culture drives the employee to go to the office every day whereas a poor culture does the exact opposite. Sayan talks about the role of managers in setting this culture. For employees, it is the manager they communicate their tasks to. If the manager is helpful and positive, the employee will have a positive impression of the culture. Hence, managers need to have the correct conversations and build a culture of teamwork.HDFC Life takes this element very seriously. Sayan calls it a ‘business of dealing with humans.'Parameters set by HDFC Life while hiring:There are two sets of hirings in HDFC Life- frontline sales and managerial positions. The majority of hiring happens in the position of frontline sales. They conduct an elaborate personality cum attitude entrance test. They look at the personality, attitude, and decision-making process of the candidates. Every organization does not have the same value systems/structures. Hence, people coming from different organizations also hold a value system different from the same of HDFC Life.Top innovations in the field of HR:At one point in time, HR was only considered an administrator of a business. Today it has developed to become an integral part of the same.Sayan explains how the field of HR has grown:HR in a business: The HR of an organization has to understand business as a business person. Only then can he/she be a true business partner.Learning space: Organizations have become confident with mobile/virtual learning. Moreover, it can be done at one's own pace. Hence, HR has turned the learning process from a ‘learner-led model' to an ‘employee-led model'.HR bots: With the incoming trend of HR bots, the role of an HR professional can be segregated. He/she can perform more important tasks within the organization.Follow Sayan on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Yashwanth JembigeGet highlights of this episode from our blog.

Among the tectonic shifts in healthcare, one of the most impactful is the innovation in cardiac monitoring devices, providing data and insights for heart patients never before captured or analyzed. The founders of iRhythm Technologies, Inc. disrupted this industry in the early 2010s and very quickly faced the escalating competition for biotech talent, prompting them to bring on Lisa Kain to lead their Talent Acquisition efforts. How Lisa met that challenge by drawing on all her previous experience is the subject of Episode 14 of the Big Fish Podcast. According to Lisa, being agile and flexible unlocks growth and resilience, important character traits for these uncertain times.

In this interview, we discuss all that, as well as Lisa’s evolving career in Talent Acquisition. You’ll hear about Lisa’s formative years at Discover Financial Services, her Executive Recruiter role with Hewitt Associates, and her step into entrepreneurship by starting her own search firm before ultimately joining iRhythm in 2015 to build their TA function and oversee 200% growth in 5 years. We also discuss the power of storytelling, outsourcing considerations, career “sequencing”, and the life lessons for young professionals aspiring to leadership. Every obstacle is a creative problem to be solved in Lisa’s world. Listen in and be inspired to engineer your own story.

Bruce Black has over 40 years of C-level business experience building several high-performance companies as a founder, leader, entrepreneur, and CEO. For the last ten years, Black has used much of that prior business knowledge to help private middle-market business owners improve their company's performance, lower their risk profile, and achieve maximum value in a sale. Black's firm, IBG Business, was a national finalist in 2016 for middle market strategic sale of the year and awarded the M&A Transaction of the Year in 2015 by ACG of Arizona. From 2005-2008, Black spent three years organizing, leading, and managing a 444-unit ground-up condominium project in the Phoenix valley for Chicago-based Terrapin Properties. From 1980-2002, he co-founded McCord Travel Management at 29 and over those 22 years, he and his team grew McCord from $0 to over $600 million with 800 employees, becoming one of the largest corporate travel management firms in the US. Driven by a passion for service, McCord's success came one client at a time and through targeted strategic market acquisitions. Under Black's leadership as CEO and President, McCord's business strategy was to serve the most demanding and least easily pleased clients.  Those clients eventually included some of Chicago's, Los Angeles', New York's and San Francisco's top law firms, consulting organizations, entertainment companies, movie studios, advertising agencies, national accounting groups, and architectural firms. During his time at McCord, Black was selected as an Inaugural Member of University of Illinois at Chicago Entrepreneurial Hall of Fame. McCord was successfully sold in 2002 to Atlanta-based BCD, a $3.6 billion competitor. At the time of the sale, 22 years after the start, their first client, Hewitt Associates, was still there! If that same two-decade period wasn't challenging enough, at the same time Black helped form Graphicorp, a recognition and inspirational awards company that eventually went on to become the public company Successories. He also led the formation of Synergi, an international corporate travel firm. As Chairman for its first ten years, Bruce led the alliance from an initial 4 countries to 54 countries that spanned the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. Black's first job, after graduating from Iowa State University with double majors in political science and sociology, was in outside sales for a small specialty food manufacturing company. Black now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife and their black lab where he spends time consulting with select clients, is an active mentor to startup companies, and is also an avid hiker, motorcycle rider, and mountain biker. Show Highlights: Put the work in and the outcomes that you envision can become real. -Bruce BlackFirst step, get rid of the self-imposed barriers that are caused by improper thinking. -Dan Moore“Make change your friend; it'll always be there for you.” -Clint Eastwood, The Bridges of Madison CountyYour personal attitude is really the only thing you can control. -Bruce BlackPutting plans in place where “no” is not an acceptable answer is part of our business model. -Bruce BlackWith every acquisition we made, we tore up our culture because it's only as good as our newest member. -Bruce BlackCulture eats strategy for breakfast. -Peter DruckerYou can never communicate enough. -Bruce BlackNo problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought. -VoltaireYou are what you think you are. -Bruce Black Bruce's closing thoughts: I have a happy mindset about making mistakes because every time I make mistakes I learn more. My self-talk is a bit of the glass is half full, but also go big or go home. If it's worth doing, do it well. Do what you want but be prepared.
