Welcome to the October edition of Leading with Intent, where we explore the latest insights into empowering women in the workplace and strategies for driving meaningful change. This month, we take a closer look at the evolving landscape of women at work and how organizations can create more inclusive environments where women can truly thrive. Our spotlight is on key findings from the “Women at Work 2024: A Global Outlook” report by Deloitte, alongside actionable solutions from I.Liv that align with our mission to equip women with the tools they need to lead confidently at all career stages.
This Month’s Highlights:
1. Women at Work 2024: A Call to Action for Workplaces Everywhere
As workplaces evolve, women continue to face challenges that impede their advancement, particularly in senior leadership roles. The Women at Work 2024: A Global Outlook report sheds light on these persistent issues, including rising workplace stress and burnout, inequities in flexible work arrangements, and the stubborn gender pay gap. These insights reveal both the current barriers and the opportunities for organizations to build more supportive environments that champion women’s success.
2. Lead for Outcomes: Equipping and Empowering Women Leaders at Every Level
Despite growing awareness of the need for gender diversity, women are still significantly underrepresented in leadership roles. The I.Liv Lead for Outcomes solution is designed to equip women with the skills, confidence, and practical business acumen necessary to break through barriers and advance into senior roles. Learn how this results-driven system blends leadership content with practical, real-world application to empower women in their personal and professional growth.
Performance Boost Tip: Mastering Business Acumen for Maximum Impact
Business acumen is the ability to understand your business, where it’s headed, and how your role contributes to driving it forward. It’s about connecting your daily tasks and results to strategic objectives that matter most for the organization’s success.
Why This Matters:
Just like having a personal vision helps you focus your energy on what truly matters, aligning your Positional Purpose with organization-wide business outcomes is critical. With this clarity, you can prioritize work that drives key business outcomes, ensuring your efforts have the highest impact. This also prevents burnout, as you’ll be working smarter, not harder.
How to Do It:
- Understand the Big Picture – Take time to familiarize yourself with your organization’s strategic goals and long-term vision.
- Align Your Role – Define how your specific role and responsibilities contribute to those outcomes. Know where you add value.
- Prioritize with Purpose – Each day, focus your energy on tasks that directly support the organization’s goals, maximizing your impact without overextending yourself.
- Stay Adaptable – As priorities shift, continuously re-align your daily work with the evolving strategic goals.
Equip yourself with clarity of purpose to prioritize your daily work and results for maximal impact – crush your goals, without crashing yourself!
