No App for That

November 27, 2019 By Tom Mungavan Leave a Comment

I was struggling with all the things on my 2Do list. “There must be a better app for organizing than this one” was my thought. I looked at a few reviews of best 2Do apps. Most included the app I use and a couple apps I have and don’t use.

When smart phones exploded onto the market and changed our lives, there was a continual stream of “There’s an app for that” revelations. There really are amazing and helpful apps available today to do everything; including home security, making lunch reservations, video conferencing, starting our car, leveling a picture on the wall, taking/editing pictures, controlling the brakes on a trailer, getting a mortgage, sending messages, and … oh yeah … making a phone call.

Creating Time

No wonder it’s easy to think that a new/different app will help create time. If I was a little more organized or focused on the right things I could get more done. Yes…true. Alas, there is no app that creates time. We can make choices and use a tool to track the plan. Frankly, a piece of paper can do that. An app can add a little flexibility to the list and give reminders. Still, no time is added to my life.

As much as I hang on to the belief that a little more efficiency would solve my issue, it does not. I get my essential things done, but there are so many other things waiting in the wings that I want to do.

My Zen practicing brother would say, “It is your high expectations that are the issue and not your reality.” There is no app for that.

Peter Drucker said, “We never solve a problem. We just think differently.”

Driving Home

The drive home can be a good time to reflect on yourself as a leader. Think of the interaction with your followers and colleague interactions during the day. What did you look and sound like during your more challenging times of the day? How would others have seen you? How might you have not fully communicated your intent to them?

Time to reflect and adjust is very valuable. The drive home gives you that opportunity to consider the Other Person’s Point of View (OPPOV) and see if you have a learning opportunity for tomorrow.

Top Talent Trends

November 21, 2019 By Tom Mungavan Leave a Comment

The challenge of hiring the right talent is more dynamic than it has ever been. The needs are high and the supply is low of great talent. People who had left the workforce for a variety of reasons are returning. The fastest growing age category of returnees is 70-years-old and higher.

According to Jeanne MacDonald, Korn Ferry Executive, the Top 10 Talent Trends of 2019 are:

  • Accepting of resume gaps as increasingly explainable.
  • Artificial Intelligence needs to be smarter to overcome prejudice in scanning resumes.
  • Personalized pay that provides compensation to each person’s needs rather than the same for all.
  • The annual performance review is losing favor for many employers and employees.
  • There is renewed attention to the diversity and inclusion pipeline.
  • The immediate customer satisfaction survey is being applied to recruiters to help improve success.
  • Creative job titles are becoming more common and harder to understand.
  • Talent analytics are becoming as important as business analytics.
  • New job roles that didn’t exist until recently constitute a significant portion of new hires today.

Keep your talent

It is important to show your current talent that it is “greener on this side of the fence.”
One of the most significant ways to reward high talent is to help them develop their skills.

Providing experiences that expand their skills is important to new hires; and experiences are often valued more than compensation. This has always been true and it is even more important today.
