As the economy slowly makes its way back in recovery mode, and more employees are concerned with issues beyond job security, we are beginning to see a return to a focus on “employee engagement” as the critical overriding factor within organizations that drives performance. But is that really all there is to it? Should companies focus exclusively on employee engagement as the key indicator of success or failure within their organization? Is high employee engagement some sort of management panacea that cures all ills?

The Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI) was referenced in the April 5, 2011 issue of The Wall Street Journal.

How do you create a Constructive culture — one that is proven to drive engagement, quality, profitability and sustainability? Join award-winning professor and executive Dr. Robert A. Cooke for his complimentary webinar, Levers Proven to Drive Constructive Cultures and Effective Talent Management.

Most high potentials are selected on the basis of their technical talent and the extent to which their behaviors exemplify and promote their organizations’ operating cultures—the norms and expectations that represent how things are actually done—which often are quite different than their organizations’ highly touted visions and values. As a result, organizations have become very good at promoting a high potential for more of the same. This article highlights what talent managers need to look for and develop in their high potentials (and the commonly made mistakes that they should avoid) to move their organizations toward realizing their visions and goals.

Human Synergistics’ Dr. Cheryl Boglarsky delivered this presentation to the Second National Conference in Research in Administrative and Accounting Sciences at The Independent University of the State of Morelos, November 25, 2010.

Human Synergistics International (HSI), creator of world-respected assessments, is combining forces with Dr. Linda Sharkey, Distinguished Fellow at the Global Leadership Development Center, Marshall Goldsmith School of Business, to bring you a special workshop on coaching. Dr. Sharkey's coaching model is based on the process developed by Marshall Goldsmith, named one of the top five executive coaches in the world by Forbes. Sharkey brought the process into GE, integrating HSI's Leadership/Impact® 360, resulting in a leadership program GE's CEO Jack Welch called "Best in Class."

The OD Network session focuses on the factors that make leaders effective in complex multi-cultural organizations. The findings of a research initiative, stimulated by the current demand for global leadership talent, will be shared. Factors distinguishing successful global leaders were uncovered via literature reviews, interviews, and surveys. The personal styles and capabilities identified are critical for selecting, developing and preparing leaders for the challenges of global positions. This session therefore will help organizations to recruit and develop talent for global assignments, increase the success rate of leaders, and reduce the costs of mistakes.
