Thoughts from
"Leadership for the Digital Age"

"Digital transformation - digital must be embedded in the strategy - the work of all leaders - a strategic imperative. Everyone needs to understand the long term plan. Our CEO at ADP does town halls, blogs, etc. - constantly answering - where are we going?"
|
|
|
|
" The kind of leader we need today to fill a key opening is no longer the SME (subject matter expert). Leaders need humility, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence. They need to ask good questions in staff meetings and allow the team to find the answers.They no longer should be the 'go to person/SME' with all the answers, but someone who can lead and inspire the team to find the solutions. "
Thomas Spahr,
VP Talent Management and Development, The Home Depot

"Why is digital transformation getting so much play? Before, technology was for operational efficiency - now a strategic lever - allows a company to compete differently"
- We have the ability to push out content better than ever - that doesn't mean people are learning
- To learn to really develop, people need information PLUS action, need to apply immediately
- Learning in the future will be on demand, socially driven, adapted to you
- We don't need more content - we need technology that supports real learning""

Transformation
Other than the word “redacted” it seems like “transformation” must have been the most common term used in sentences in 2018. I say this with no scientific proof, but after all this is my piece for the newsletter so please read on.
In the book I am currently reading, “The Digital Transformation Playbook”, David Rogers whittles down the essence of transforming business into five key focus areas: competition, customer, value, data, and innovation. TLG team members concur.

Should Employees Have a Right to Disconnect?
Patricia Thompson, Ph.D. Senior Consultant Turknett Leadership group
Earlier this year, a “Right to Disconnect” bill was
proposed in New York
, modeled on a law in France. If passed, it will make it illegal for employers to expect employees to respond to emails or texts during non-work hours. Although it remains to be seen how this proposed law could be applied to individuals in a range of industries and jobs, it still raises some interesting questions for employers.
When it comes to work, electronic communication can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provides greater flexibility with respect to when and where you do your work. Therefore, in theory, it should make it easier to balance your work and your life. Unfortunately, however, research shows that this form of communication also increases
the expectations that leaders
have with respect to staying in contact with their employees. Because employers know that it’s easier to take your work home with you, workers often end up with
bigger workloads
and more hours spent working per day.
