While companies actively seek dynamic individuals to take on leadership roles and drive innovation, it appears contradictory that many of these leaders are eager to be front and center during ceremonial events, such as "cake-cutting" ceremonies. This emphasis on personal visibility raises questions about whether junior staff could effectively manage such events, and if they cannot, it might indicate a broader issue with the company's leadership culture. Preference for high-visibility roles over effective delegation could suggest a focus on superficial appearances rather than fostering genuine leadership and empowering others within the organization.

One of the big trends I'm seeing already this year is a focus on Inclusive Leadership. While many organizations aren't sure yet how they'll navigate the evolving backlash to the acronym "DEI," what remains clear is that building a future-proof organization requires attracting a diverse group of employees, and creating a culture where everyone can do their best work and thrive. Enabling leaders to do this is key, *especially* as organizations are rethinking the role of centralized DEI teams. While Paradigm has always been a leader in training in this space, this year we're rolling out something new: Inclusive Leadership Self-Assessments. We've created a scalable, automated tool that helps leaders understand their strengths and gaps, and provides them a scorecard and toolkit for taking action. If you're prioritizing Inclusive Leadership on your team and want to learn more, I'd love to chat!
