In today’s complex, innovation-driven world, fostering diversity is more than a social obligation—it’s a strategic imperative, a point that was driven home globally on Dec. 3 when United Nations observed International Day for Persons with Disabilities. While diversity discussions typically focus on race, gender, and cultural background, many employers have started to focus on another previously marginalized group: the “neurodiverse,” people whose brains are “wired differently” than most others.
Why Your Operating Model Matters More Than Your Strategy And Structure

Nov 21, 2024 | forbes.com | Julia Dhar

We all understand the importance of strategy. And we also pay close attention to the structure and size of our organizations. But there’s something more important, but less visible, that often gets short shrift: our organization’s operating model.
Productive Disagreement: Getting Beyond “Agree To Disagree”

Oct 30, 2024 | forbes.com | Julia Dhar

It is that time of year. Disagreements are starting to boil over into disputes—around family dinner tables, in city council chambers, on the subway between Yankees and Dodgers fans, in annual budget strategy and planning meetings. In each of these settings, especially when we anticipate that there will be a winner and a loser, we tend to shy away from productive conflict, as a 2022 study in the journal Nature found.
Generative AI: What Happens In HR Won’t Stay In HR

Oct 23, 2024 | forbes.com | Julia Dhar

While some executives make the leap from human resources to CEO—General Motors CEO Mary Barra and former Dunkin’ Brands CEO Nigel Travis provide prominent examples—it’s still somewhat of a rarity. But the arrival of Generative AI in the workplace could change everything, including the pathways to the C-Suite. Because the unlikely leader in the adoption and use of Generative AI is … human resources. As a result, what has traditionally been a rarity could become a lot less so.
Gen Z: They Highly Value “Values,” But It’s No Dealbreaker

Oct 2, 2024 | bcghendersoninstitute.com | Tania Lekhraj |Julia Dhar

Gen Z, the 69.3 million U.S. teenagers and young adults who are expected to make up nearly a third of the U.S. workforce by 2030, may be the most idealistic generation since the Baby Boomers. You remember the boomers, don’t you? They’re the workplace veterans who’ve been retiring at a rate of about 10,000 a day for the past several years. Gen Zers, in many cases, are filling their slots—though the youngest Gen Zers are still in middle school.

Gen Z: They Want To Work Remotely And In The Office

Sep 18, 2024 | forbes.com | Julia Dhar

Citing the need to maintain its unique company culture, Amazon this week announced that it expects all office employees “to return to being in the office” five days a week starting in January. The company may have had its Covid-era Gen Z hires particularly in mind. A little more than five years from now, in 2030, Gen Z employees (those born after 1996) will fill an estimated 50 million U.S. jobs, about 30% of the total American workforce, according to U.S. .
How To Build And Sustain Momentum For Your Change Plans

Sep 4, 2024 | forbes.com | Julia Dhar

In practice, leaders directing major change initiatives often misread the mood of their employees by over-relying on gut instinct. They make assumptions about how their employees should be feeling rather than trying to understand how their employees actually are feeling. There are several problems with this.
When Change Is Needed, Your Employees Become Your Customers

Jul 24, 2024 | bcghendersoninstitute.com | Tania Lekhraj |Julia Dhar

Imagine you are leading a change initiative in your organization. Perhaps you want your employees to use a new generative AI tool. Perhaps you want them to follow a new procurement process. Perhaps you’re reorganizing your company, requiring employees to report to new managers—and managers to new executives. Perhaps you’re doing all these things at the same time. In any case, the change will affect your people, and they will need to do things differently.
