A few weeks ago, I was sitting on the front row at a conference, preparing to go on stage and share how servant leadership can transform a culture. This is the message that’s been heavy on my heart for some time now; I could feel the excitement build within me as I imagined the people this message would help. Just before my time to speak, I paused to reflect on everything our country—our world— has been through over the past year (plus).

“I was working longer and longer hours just to keep up.” “The tiniest thing would set me off.” “I felt trapped and helpless.” “I had a sense of tunnel vision.” “I told my manager, and all they said was, ‘You’re doing a good job, don’t worry about it.’” “I get to the point where I just don’t want to do anything. A snowball of apathy.” “I came back from sabbatical, and the workload was the same but my perspective was so different.”.

Successful teams are the cornerstone of a high-performing business. The logic behind it is simple. Good teams work hard, think critically, and face any obstacles head-on. All in all, investing in building great teams is a solid formula for success. With the current pandemic, team cohesion has taken a massive hit. Employees have been forced to work from home, which has made teamwork difficult.

We all know the old axiom “knowledge is power.” And though it’s true, there’s a caveat: In order to unlock the power of any knowledge, people first need access to it. Access to knowledge is an issue many businesses face. They have information to share with customers, but they don’t always have an effective means by which to share it. Luckily, there’s a tool that addresses that very issue: knowledge base software.

Photo by Matt Noble on Unsplash. There’s a difference between a movement and a promotion. A promotion starts big but quickly fades. A movement starts small but eventually builds. As leaders, we should be about movements — building something that lasts over time. Many organizations spend more energy promoting events and products instead of reinforcing vision.

It’s disrespectful, degrading, and disempowering.

I know, “Fun” and “PMP Exam” are rarely used in the same sentence. When I studied for my PMP credential in 2001, materials were text-based, process-focused, and dry! Unfortunately, not much has changed since then. However, fun is a serious business in adult learning, it boosts retention and cuts study time. We recall facts about our favorite hobbies and sports teams much easier than boring information because our brains prioritize fun experiences for recall.

One of the interesting, but not surprising findings to come out of this current global pandemic is how much people have appreciated being able to have breaks in their work day to just take a break, unwind, and maybe spend some time with their family. In fact, a big reason why we’re seeing an unrelenting demand from employees everywhere to have a hybrid work environment is because we’ve all seen how creating flexibility in the way we work benefits us - both professionally and personally.

Some of those questions are niche and require personalized attention; however, many are routine with standard answers. For those common questions with standard answers, it makes sense to have a resource customers can access on their own time without needing to contact support.
