Future Ready Leadership With Jacob Morgan

Today, there's noise and distractions all over the place. Being able to stand out and clearly share our ideas, points of view, and perspectives has never been more important.

Think about how much information and data you are competing against every day. There is a lot of stuff out there that pulls our attention in many different directions. That is why communication is a crucial skill to have in order to be successful in the new world of work. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

It's very easy for us to become burned out in this new world we live in. We're surrounded by technology at our fingertips, and it's easy to get exhausted because we're constantly multitasking. Studies show that multitasking actually takes you 25% longer to complete both tasks. Multitasking isn't your friend. It does come down to being able to prioritize and figuring out what you should be working on and what can wait. Everyone wants things from you all the time--your friends, your boss, your coworkers, your spouse. These requests come in digitally and in person. Learning to say no and taking more control over our lives is crucial to success. A lot of us have a hard time saying no because we're conditioned from an early age to say yes. It feels awkward to say no to people. But saying no is one of the best ways to prevent burnout. Learn to value your time. Saying no also allows you to build self-esteem and confidence. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

Having a growth mindset is crucial to succeed in the future of work. There are a few things you can do to embrace this mindset: ✅View challenges as opportunities. Most people view challenges as opportunities to fail and as things they can't overcome. Instead, you should view any challenge you face as an opportunity to grow. You can do this by taking on more challenging tasks. Don't just play it safe. You can also find a creative path around your obstacles. Try to explore new ways of overcoming your challenges. ✅ Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be scared to bring in other people to help you accomplish your tasks. ✅ Set short-term and long-term goals for yourself. Setting goals allows you to work backwards to make sure you're taking the right steps to get where you want to be. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

It's time to start setting boundaries for yourself, the same way you set boundaries for other people. I have set 7 rules for myself that help me become more productive every day: 1.❌Don't check email or social media until 4:00 p.m. every day. 2.❌Don't take meetings with people who just want to pick my brain. I get a lot of these requests every week, and if I start saying yes, it will snowball. 3.❌No television in the bedroom, and no technology during mealtimes. 4.✅Be healthy. I try to eat healthy and make time to exercise. 5.❌No calls or meetings before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m. 6.✅Always make time for family. 7.❌NO meetings or calls on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. How about you? What are your boundaries? --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

David Allen is widely recognized as the world's leading expert on personal and organizational productivity. The Getting Things Done Method rests on the idea of moving items of interest, relevant information, issues, tasks and projects out of the mind, by recording them externally, and then breaking them into actionable work items. And this allows attention to be focused on taking action on tasks instead of recalling them. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

It doesn't matter what industry you're in. Chances are, there will always be people around you who are used to doing things the old way. So what can you do to battle that entrenched way of thinking? Jim Heppelmann, CEO of PTC, gave me some really useful advice for how you can fight rooted thinking: The first thing that Jim did was make change a part of the company's brand. In other words, he would create slogans, like Take a Fresh Look that became part of the organization's core values. The second piece of advice Jim gave me is that if you want to battle entrenched thinking, you need to lead by example. If you want to unlock creative ways of solving problems, it's got to start with you. As a leader, you should be taking a fresh look and asking questions. The third piece of advice Jim gave me is to celebrate change, even if change led to failure. If you have somebody in your organization who's trying to do something new, reward the behavior, don't just focus on the result. You can't innovate unless you make mistakes and are prepared to fail at some point. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of great leaders around the world. And I noticed that there are three things that a lot of these great leaders typically do. ✅Take time for themselves Successful business leaders spend time exercising, journaling, meditating, or enjoying quiet time. Whatever it is they do, they always take time for themselves. This is when they get a chance to think big picture and create the vision where they want to go. ✅Have goals Every leader I've interviewed has goals. These can be daily goals or big-picture goals for themselves and where they want the organization as a whole to go. ✅Spend time with other people Leaders don't just spend time with peers and executives. They spend time with people on the front line and with customers. If you want to be a successful leader, make sure you're spending time with people, learning from them, getting feedback from them, and listening to their insights. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!
