Five ways
leaders can accelerate innovation in their organisation
The pandemic has forced organisations to press the
reset button. However, leaders can act as catalysts in this resetting process
in more ways than one. Leaders are at the
forefront of this change and tasked with giving direction to their
organisations, to successfully emerge from this crisis unscathed. It starts
with changing mindsets and building resilience. Organisationally, achieving or
improving resilience includes building a more agile operating model; ensuring that
the workforce has the right capability set; nurturing organisational
relationships; sharing data in real time; displaying and promoting leadership
that engenders trust, supports creativity and innovation. Reimagine the new normal, Accelerate
digitisation and automation for distributed workforce, Ensure collaboration,
flexibility, inclusion and accountability, Build team resilience and
adaptability, Encourage agility and innovation, are the five ways to accelerate
innovation in an organisation.

Flexi hours, WFH most
desired by APAC workers: Study
The report has further
shown a greater focus on self-care and well-being among the workers and is one
of the top three priorities for them. It seems that as we progress into the
future, more people are becoming accustomed to the new way of working and would
want to retain some aspects of their current work-life post COVID as well. Almost
90 per cent of the workers in the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia,
Malaysia and Singapore, are against returning to the ‘old
normal’ way of work. It can be gathered that few aspects of the new normal have
been greatly beneficial for employees, Organisations that revise their hiring
and policies and concentrate on their future learning and development in these
areas will benefit immensely “in terms of available talent, employee engagement
and retention,” concludes Cairnes. The study has been conducted by Skillsoft
through a survey of more than 2,300 workers and people about to enter the
workforce across Australia, Malaysia and Singapore.

How to
lead an agile team to success in uncertain times.
Given the rapid rate at
which things are changing and digitisation is forcing industries to level up
leaders need to adopt an agile mindset and ensure that their organisations
quickly get into the agile mode or risk falling behind in the race. There
is a popular quip doing the rounds on social-media platforms about this whole
resetting thing and chances are you may have come across it, too. It asks the
reader whether anyone knows how to turn off the year 2020 and turn it on again.
It is accompanied by an image of a reset button. In reality, however, many
things in life do not have a reset button. Given the rapid rate at which things
are changing and digitisation is forcing industries to level up, many shifts
have taken place in the past couple of months — from consumers’ buying
behaviors to organisations re-engineering their business models. To keep pace,
leaders need to adopt an agile mindset and ensure that their organisations
quickly get into the agile mode or risk falling behind in the race. Lay the
foundation for high-performing teams, Create a growth-oriented environment, Coach
your teams to success, Practice transparency in communication, is the way to
lead an agile mindset.
