“We tell ourselves the story that strategy is Big! Complex! Hard! Time-consuming!”
-Lisa Mitchell

Do you ever just give in to a client’s demands because you don’t want to be seen as “pushing back?”

Today’s episode is a solo one about your STRATEGIC VALUE as a Talent, HR or L&D professional. And it’s about what gets in our way of being strategic.

I’d love to hear YOUR challenges with stakeholders who like to prescribe the solutions they want you to implement. And if you’d like some help with your Talent Management or L&D strategy, please reach out. You can send me an email at lisa@greenappleconsulting.ca, or a message via Linkedin.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

  • A great way to shift into strategic thinking and partnering, using what you already know
  • The story we tell ourselves when avoiding strategic work
  • A real example of a leader who resisted the urge to be an order taker in the name of customer service

Enjoy!

Are you a Talent leader who is longing for a safe place to bounce ideas off of? In addition to my group programs I work privately with a select few clients as their Talent Management Thought Partner. I will help you, over the next 90 days, create the space, the intention and the strategy to implement an initiative that is CRITICAL to your team. Let’s chat and see if there’s a fit.
