Building trust in a time of crisis: a dream?
From crisis to recovery: how a new management team leveraged confidence:
When vulnerability is a power
Vulnerability is a powerful tool for leaders because it fosters trust and authenticity within teams. By openly sharing their challenges and uncertainties, leaders create an environment where team members feel comfortable doing the same, leading to more honest communication and stronger relationship.
Your talents are your greatest asset
Ressources & Talents is featured in the September issue of Entreprendre magazine (published in French). You will find an interview of our founder, Laurence Levêque. She highlights the firm's offer and specific way of working. Below is a transcript of the article, translated in English:
“Slow down? Are you crazy?”
It is exactly what told myself when I deliberately chose to spend 6 hours in a slower train instead of a High Speed TGV train during my last travel in France. I followed my intuition, the opposite of any rational logic of optimization and efficiency... and I rediscovered the hidden treasures of slowness.
Happy New Year 2021
Here we are in 2021. For most of us, last year has been a challenging, difficult year, homeworking, very little social contacts, stress, illness.
It is very tempting to close quickly this period of time and move forward.
My proposal is totally different: how can you revisit this experience and highlight all the positive elements you got from it, not only focusing on the difficulties? What have you discovered; learned through this period? What do you want to put in place in 2021, based on that?
For me, 2020 has been an opportunity to reconnect to the meaning of my job, coaching, helping people and organization to transform. And to answer the question: Why do I get up in the morning, what is the purpose of my professional activity? And the answer is for me to unlock individual and team potentials, connect people to their strengths and talents.
I also realized that I could do all this even if I am not sitting close by my clients.
I also discovered new creative ways to accompany my clients, proposing them new experiences.
best regards,
Laurence Leveque
Did you check how your team was REALLY doing?
Corporate leaders often focus on the task to accomplish or the next action to take. This is probably even more the case in a crisis situation. How do we secure cash? How can we secure operations ? How can we stay connected to our clients? There is so much to think of, so many issues to resolve during this unique period. Obviously, all of these are key to companies’ survival. But if you forget to take the time to show genuine interest in your team members’ wellbeing, this will impact their performance and engagement levels negatively.
