“In a future-ready organization, 'talent' is increasingly a metaphor for capability—at the right place, at the right time and equally, at the right price.” - The Future Ready Organization - Gyan Nagpal
In a volatile world where uncertainties at work are common, how do you manage and lead teams? What is the preparedness to manage adversity and what impact does it have on the talent at work? We got these and many other answers through Gyan Nagpal’s The Future Ready Organization. As managers, you can apply the Dynamic Capability Spectrum as mentioned in the book with your teams and people. The book highlights how talent and automation will be the two driving levers for the future, and this is exactly what the COVID-10 pandemic has also taught us. Even more relevant in today’s world, you can read about the key points of the book through this feature on Accenture Vaahini.
"I don't think I particularly balance anything. I just make it work.” - Jacinda Ardern in Women & Leadership: Real lives, Real lessons
A book that is inspirational from its very first page, authors Julia Gillard, former Prime Minister of Australia, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Nigerian Finance Ministeranalyze the influence of gender on women’s rise to positions of leadership. Through their own story and experiences of other leaders Jacinda Ardern, Michelle Bachelet, Joyce Banda, Hillary Clinton, Christine Lagarde, Theresa May, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Erna Solberg, the authors talk about the situations that women have to face and real-life examples of how they dealt with these. From balancing work to leading an all-men team, all women at work will definitely find something that they would have faced at their work or are likely to face in the future. We presented it on Vaahini as a roadmap for change for women and you can read it here.
