Mark C. Crowley The US ranks one of the lowest in teacher pay in the world.

It shows clearly what we value in this world when Mr. Beast makes millions and a teacher can't take mat leave.

Mark C. Crowley empathy always wins!

Mark C. Crowley This is excellent.

A homage to middle managers from the NYT's David Brooks.

It's deeply inspiring piece (at a time when CEOs of #Spotify & Stellantis have recently shown a complete disregard for their people).
The managers Brooks spotlights clearly #LeadFromTheHeart !

For the 1st time since the pandemic, more workers prefer hybrid #work arrangements than fully remote setups, finds a new Axios study.

Mark C. Crowley It’s normally always the one no one would be thinking.

Seriously, what is wrong with us?

Because so many teachers in America are quitting, & fewer people are training to become one, several states & cities are pushing to give teachers paid maternity,.
Remarkably, it's a benefit most US teachers don’t have.

Rubbing salt into the wound:

#Spotify had a lavish party at a London supper club to celebrate it annual 'Wrapped' campaign.

They might have ditched the party this year knowing they planned to layoff 1,500 employees just 4 days later.

Wall Street firms, e.g. Goldman Sachs & JPMorgan Chase, have helped push New York City’s return-to-office rate to almost 80% of its pre-pandemic levels, a rebound also seen in Miami.

Mark C. Crowley ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

When employees are asked to name the most effective managers in their organization, it's rarely the smartest person, or the one who has the highest productvity that comes out on top.

Those who do are noted for genuinely caring about their people.

#Leadership #LeadFromTheHeart .

Win-Win!

If you need a time-save & an opportunity to develop an employee, tell the planner of a regular meeting you attend that you'll be opting out for the next month to #work on a project & sending someone capable in your place.
A Google time #management expert suggested this.

The coaches of both the men's & women's college basketball championship-winning teams share an incredible ability to lose top players to graduation one year, & find a way to win with new players the next.
Both coaches have won 2 or > championships so far.

53% of Gen Zers would reject a job if the employer’s mission didn’t line up with their sociopolitical values, finds a United Way survey.The desire to #work for an Org where the stated values align to one’s beliefs had intergenerational pull but was especially important for #GenZ .

One reason so many people continue to resist returning to the office full time is because they don't feel loyalty to their employer in the way people once did.
If the boss said, come in, past generations would have done it.  
Could the resistance be #leadership karma?

'Get in the trenches and have a #heart .'

Mark C. Crowley Mary C. Murphy (marycmurphy.bsky.social) Great episode Mark! Such an important topic for the business world these days. Can't believe tech companies are moving back to fixed mindset ways. Ugh.

Mark C. Crowley That coincides with steep decline in men having self identified 'close friends' too. Not just friends at work.

If an organization wanted to make itself a special place to work, this could be a good, wide-open avenue to explore.
