Harnessing the energy and innovation within someone and giving them the opportunity to develop and showcase that talent is crucial not only to cultivate creativity within an organization, but to prepare the next generation of leaders. I have the pleasure of working with some excellent young professionals at Dewberry. These relationships have taught me several lessons about mentorship, compelling me to share those takeaways with my network: 1. Looking for opportunities to present at industry events with a young professional can be a great way to exchange ideas with one another, while affording the mentor the ability to step back and give the spotlight to the young professional. 2. Finding opportunities to nominate them for awards, either for a project or for the individual, can be deeply gratifying for both parties. 3. Keeping close proximity to your younger staff is crucial, when possible, in developing a strong working rapport. 4. Being open to letting staff work on different projects, for different departments, or in other offices can help you keep their creative output at your organization, even if it doesn’t serve your immediate interests.  5.    Sometimes tapping into their hobbies and interests can be hugely beneficial . One example of such a relationship is my work with Staff Engineer/GIS Developer Michael H.. Starting initially with our water engineering team in Boston as an intern, Michael’s interest in GIS and asset management led him to contribute innovative solutions to our project work. One innovation leveraged GIS technology to proactively identify locations suitable for incorporating green infrastructure into communities that adhere to design and planning standards – a process that had previously been reactive and inefficient. Michael and I presented at the MassDOT Innovation Conference on this technology to great reception (pictured). Similarly, a colleague was set to present at the National Utility Management Conference but found out he wasn’t able to attend. Michael stepped in with me to present on the topic of streamlining drinking water safety inspections through the use of data-driven GIS technology solutions. My working relationship with Michael and other bright young professionals has taught me about building trust and cultivating talent. I hope some of these takeaways are helpful to my colleagues and network. As I continue on as Mid-Atlantic Growth Officer for Dewberry, I look forward to many more mentorship opportunities as I get to know more of the bright minds in Mid-Atlantic offices. My question to you all: what mentorship success stories do you have to share?  #mentorship #leadership #gis #technology #dewberryatwork

We are delighted to share the second issue of the 2024 edition of our newsletter, The Bottom Line. In this issue, we revisit our Global Transformation Survey and explore the insights we have gained into the value of effective program leadership. We discuss how clear direction within transformation programs is essential to lasting success, and how program leaders must be able to provide their teams with a comprehensive view of the overall aims and objectives of their project to ensure each step has strategic value. We also share some words from one of our Summer Analysts, Jamie Barbour, who reflects on her time with Evolution Partners over the summer and her experience of our internship program. Finally, following a historic UK general election this month, we consider how Labour’s success is testament to the effective governance principles demonstrated by party leadership. Clear, focused and results-oriented leadership is key to any transformation program, and it will be up to Keir Starmer and his team to continue to steer the Labour party, and the UK, towards meaningful change. For more information about our Global Transformation Survey or to request a copy of the report, please contact Evolution Partners’ Founder, David Powell, at [email protected]. We'd love to know your thoughts – please get in touch and leave a comment below. Tell us what struck a chord with you and join the conversation.

In our recruitment experience at Veenus, we often ask candidates, "If you’re leading a project and things go wrong, who is responsible?"   Surprisingly, 80% of responses point to: ▶ My team ▶The company ▶My supervisor   Only an elite 20% say, "Me." 💥   At Veenus, we pride ourselves on providing our team with both freedom and responsibility. 💪 From interns to our seasoned professionals, everyone is empowered to experiment with new techniques, implement fresh ideas and test innovative procedures. 🌟 If something goes wrong, that’s okay—but it’s essential to learn from the outcomes and find solutions.   With freedom comes accountability. That’s why we encourage our people to take full ownership of their projects, from the idea generation stage through to successful implementation. This helps them evolve, and we are proud to be one of the few companies truly willing to invest in the growth of our teams—even when it costs us.   Why is ownership so often neglected when things go wrong? Yet claimed when everything goes well?   #Leadership #Ownership #Accountability #TeamGrowth #Innovation #FreedomAndResponsibility #VeenusCulture #LeadershipDevelopment  

Great panel on Female Leaders at British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) Summit today with Nicki Boyd from Sphera Partners Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell from 10,000 Black Interns and Ruth Foxe Blader representing WVC:E. Key takeaways include: 90%+ female leaders have a competitive sports background which help them foster leadership skills like Fail management, excellence at execution, and learning to love being in those uncomfortable moments. Female leadership is about leaning into your age and the confidence of bringing yourself to the table and all the areas you excel at. Female leaders uniquely are happy being “human” and building relationships and nuisance which can give competitive advantage such as gaining more transparency and information from your team and portifilo companies and gaining consensus in hard situations. For the future all agree is about increasing visibility as we always need inspiration to promote others to follow behind. Practical ways to do this include internships and mentorings as both sides gain insights and bridge some of those experience gaps which makes inclusive cultures harder. #bvca #DEI #femaleleadership

“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” — Attributed to Aristotle. Without feedback, people won’t know what they are doing well or poorly, and they will continue to make mistakes. This hinders development and creates a false impression between peers, leaders and administrators.

Our proprietary ELA360 self-debriefing report simplifies the data and empowers you to use the feedback to improve, and accelerates positive change. This self-debriefing report combines clear data insights to create a practical action plan without the cost of adding an external coach. https://lnkd.in/gd7ZuFrD #WomenLeadingEd #edleadership #career #leaders #principal #internship #schooldistrict #360appraisal #development #teachers #professor #ownership #why #investinyourself #takecontrol #goals #promotion #feedback #employment #ELA360 #backtoschool #linkedin
