So, let's get right into it! Optimizing Profiles and Building Personal Brands You know, investing in your team's LinkedIn profiles is a game-changer in today's transparent business world. When you optimize their profiles, connect them to your company page, and let their personal achievements shine, you're not just boosting their personal brands, but also elevating your business's credibility. Sharing Company Content and Networking Now, one of the strategies that can truly amplify your business's reach is encouraging your team to share your company's updates, blog posts, and achievements. But don't just stop there – add their personal touch, their insights, and experiences to make those shares engaging and relatable. And let's not forget networking! When your team connects with potential clients, partners, and stakeholders, your business's reach expands organically. Endorsing Skills and Celebrating Achievements Endorsements matter – they enhance credibility and make profiles stand out. So, have your team endorse each other's skills that align with your business's expertise. Celebrating achievements is also a powerful strategy. Whether it's work milestones or certifications, showcasing these on LinkedIn not only highlights your positive workplace culture but also adds to your business's appeal. Sharing Customer Testimonials and Engaging with Customers Let's talk about authenticity. Sharing customer testimonials on LinkedIn is a brilliant way to build trust and credibility. And guess what? When your team engages with your customers' posts, it's a win-win situation. Not only are you showing genuine support, but it also contributes to the uplifting of everyone involved. Participating in Industry Events and Content Sharing If you're hosting webinars, workshops, or creating valuable content, encourage your team to share it. By doing so, you're extending your business's visibility and engaging a wider audience. Remember, it's not just about promotion; it's about creating a magnetic marketing approach that draws positive attention. To wrap things up, remember that the beauty of these strategies lies in their mutual benefits. When you elevate your team, tap into their networks, and foster collaboration, your business flourishes. And if you're seeking guidance and support, my "She's Linked Up" programs are here to help you navigate these strategies effectively.   Episode Spotlights: Where to find everything for this week's episode: http://karenyankovich.com/251   Magical Quotes from the Episode: "Investing in your employees' LinkedIn profiles not only boosts their personal brands, but also elevates your business credibility in this transparent business world."

Management is about helping other people achieve greatness - in the results they produce and the career path they take. However, if you've had any experience as a manager, you know how difficult it can be to help a variety of people develop their skill sets and get work done, all while fostering healthy team dynamics and driving towards goals. It helps to know the specific areas you should focus on to help your team grow most efficiently with the limited time you have. Today’s guest is Russ Laraway. Russ has had a diverse 28 year operational management career. He was a Company Commander in the Marine Corps before starting his first company, Pathfinders. From there, Russ went to the Wharton School, and then onto management roles at Google and Twitter. He then co-founded Candor, Inc., along with best selling author Kim Scott. Russ and I talk about what he’s discovered through research are the most important areas of focus for a manager. We get into why it's so hard to be a great manager, and what you can do to immediately put Russ’s finding to work for your team. One member of the Modern Manager community can get a copy of Russ’s book: When They Win, You Win. Russ provides a handbook for managers on how to implement The Big 3 - a surprisingly simple, coherent leadership approach that measurably and predictably delivers more engaged employees and better business results.

If your team of superstars is morphing into burned out zombies and productivity is waning, Eric Garton, co-author of “Time, Talent, Energy: Overcome Organizational Drag and Unleash Your Team’s Productive Power,” says look no further than your company culture.

Michael C. Mankins is a partner in Bain & Company's San Francisco office and a leader in the firm's Organization practice. He is also a senior member of Bain's Strategy and Industrial Goods & Services practices. Much of his work has focused on the strategic and organizational initiatives that drive performance and long-term value. He is the co-author of "Time, Talent, Energy: Overcome Organizational Drag and Unleash Your Team’s Productive Power." In this interview, we discuss how the organization's most precious resources rarely end up on a balance sheet.

Michael C. Mankins                 How Much Time & Talent are You Wasting? Time goes largely unmanaged in business. So are talent and energy. Would you allow an employee to walk off with a big piece of equipment? Then why are you allowing them to steal the time of team members and fellow employees? The average front-line supervisor spends 23 hours/week in meetings of 4 people or more and 8 hours sending/responding to email. After all of that largely wasted time, research shows there are only 6.5 hours to do the work, and that is a big contributor to why managers are taking work home in the evenings and on weekends. Engaged employees are 25% more productive, yet inspired employees are 125% more productive! Inspired leaders in a culture of responsibility and accountability produce more. When you pair that with deploying the talent of star players to your business-critical endeavors you have a combination for a high-performance team. Where are you wasting time and the talent of your best people? This podcast will provide ideas of what you can do now to correct your course, increase productivity and boost your team and organizational performance.   You can learn more about Time | Talent | Energy – Overcome Organizational Drag and Unleash Your Team’s Productive Power  by visiting these websites - TimeTalentEnergy.com or Bain.com      Click here to check out our newest leadership development tool – LEAD – Leadership Education and Development                Steve Caldwell is an executive mentor and coach to managers and leaders who desire to excel in their career and become the leader others want to follow.
