Today’s recruiters are expected to be equal parts hunter and gatherer, asked to both find "unfindable" talent and bring them "home" to an organization that fits. However, for the first time in history, we are dealing with prospective talent from five generations, a situation which could prove incredibly valuable but could also present massive challenges for any growing organization. Each of these five generations has its own individual nuances, attitudes, values, and communication styles, adding another layer of complexity to an organization’s sourcing and talent attraction strategies.

Millennials are growing up...and have taken over majority status in today's workforce.

You have probably likewise concluded that this group is a breed apart from those you’ve previously dealt with…so when it comes to constructing an effective pay plan, you’re at a loss.

As the war for top talent is at an all-time high, our need for capable teammates to lighten our load has hit the "yesterday is too late" warning level, and our own desire to get much more out of our career trajectories is somewhere between red and white-hot, a simple question is rarely answered correctly: what are we to do to find the right people and to stand out ourselves?
While the traditional resume has been enhanced by better design techniques (infographics! Presi! personal websites!) and smartly maintained social presences, these mediums can (still) be too easily manipulated in the applicant's favor—just like that supposedly objective reference call that gets made in the final stages of most hiring decisions.
The answer to finding the right talent and / or positioning ourselves better therefore can't be digital, analog, or even external. Rather, it comes down to one simple thing truth: professional excellence. Either you have it, or you need to work hard to achieve it.

Execution - The Discipline of getting things done GMR Group
This book was published in the year 2002 and I had read this book at that time. Revisited and read this book again just to evaluate the context. Even today the context of this book is very relevant.
Too many leaders fool themselves into thinking their companies are well run. They are like the parents in Garrison Keillor’s fictional Lake Wobegon, all of whom think their children are above average. Then the top performers at Lake Wobegon High school arrive at the University of Minnesota or Colgate or Princeton and find out they are average or even below average. Similarly , when corporate leaders start understanding how the GE’s and Emerson Electrics of this world are run- how superbly they get things done- they discover how far they have to go before they become World class in Execution.
Here is the fundamental problem: People think of execution as the tactical side of business, something leaders delegate while thy focus on the perceived “bigger” issues. This idea is completely wrong. Execution is not just tactics—it is a discipline and a system. It has to be built into a company’s strategy, its goals, and its culture. And the leader of the organization must be deeply engaged in it. He can delegate its substance.
We talk to many leaders who fall victim to the gap between promises they’ve made and results their organizations delivered. They frequently tell us they have a problem with accountability—people aren’t doing the things they’re supposed to do to implement a plan. They desperately want to make changes of some kind, but what do they need to change? They don’t know.
Execution is a specific set of behaviors and techniques that companies need to master in order to have competitive advantage.

“Far from incremental change in leadership approaches, the new marketplace requires an entirely new
paradigm: nothing less than admitting that the concept of the all-knowing, all- powerful leader is obsolete
and that our entire image of leadership itself must change. While some teams and organizations have
made this shift, many have not—at a great cost to both the organizations and their people.”
Leaders Getting Different
Collaboration, the New Inclusive Workplace, and OD’s Role
There is a leadership change in the air;
an urgency, not only for organizations to
be different, but for “titled” leaders to be
different: to join people, to connect work
to the organization’s purpose, to inspire, to
move away from silos and toward a flow of
ideas and information across the work-
place, to create a sense of safety so that peo-
ple can bring their best selves to work—all
to foster an inclusive workplace in which
collaboration can flourish. This urgency
stems from a variety of trends. Consumers
are demanding more. Markets are moving
faster and growing more complex. Millen-
nials are demanding a new workplace.
This means that the “adapt or fail”
tipping point for organizations, long
rumored, is here with a vengeance
(Devereaux, 2004; Laloux, 2014; Stack,
2014). Far from incremental change in
leadership approaches, the new market-
place requires an entirely new paradigm:
nothing less than admitting that the
concept of the all-knowing, all- powerful
leader is obsolete and that our entire image
of leadership itself must change. While
some teams and organizations have made
this shift, many have not—at a great cost
to both the organizations and their people.
This article examines the convergence of
trends, describes several keys to the new
leadership paradigm, and explores the
role that OD practitioners need to play in
supporting leadership for a collaborative,
inclusive workplace.
A Convergence of Trends
Many elements of the traditional organi-
zation and leadership model have come
under scrutiny in recent years:
» Leaders know best (or leaders as
all-knowing).
» Leaders as “super doers” who were
promoted from individual contributor
roles to managerial ranks, not because
of their skill with people but because of
their technical ability.
» Leaders as “fixers” who provide answers
and solutions to every problem under
their purview.
» Leaders seeing it as their role to accept
the status quo and not challenge the
opinions or ideas of their leaders.
» People of the organization seen as
hands and feet: filling specific roles in
the organization, required to “just do
their job” and “do as they are told.”
This model has been giving way to a
greater emphasis on collaboration—and
an inclusive workplace as the ideal envi-
ronment for fostering that collaboration
(Baker, 2014). We have now reached
the point where the inclusive workplace
is a must for organ ...
Innomantra's Viewpoint - Casting Innovation Leadership in Future Organisation Innomantra
Innovation has been referred to as a ‘Short Skirt’ that’s been in and out of fashion: popular in good times and tossed back into the closet in downturns as quoted by a leading consulting firm, today; it's different as it combines art, science, system, and people however with increased uncertainty the need for Innovation and managing Innovation is best achieved with leadership and planning.
By aligning to ISO 56000 Series-Innovation Management Standard framework, 'LEADERSHIP' establishes an innovation vision, strategy, and policy, including the necessary roles and responsibilities based on the organization's context. Leadership is one of the factors that affect innovation in organizations.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

2. There is a question endlessly debated within the entrepreneurial
realm: are entrepreneurs born or simply made? In fact, leaders,
just like entrepreneurs, seem to emerge from different
backgrounds: business school, journalism, arts and, of course,
the good old engineering school.
There have been many cases of students who think they simply
have what it takes only to fail (miserably) and drop out of school.
While those individuals do not get their knowledge from classes,
they do learn from experiences: the experience of the first
contact with what is defined as an entrepreneurship leadership
style. As per previously discussed by David Kiger, there several
features and qualities in common for those entrepreneurial
leaders, especially for those who have been through hell and
back, and have yet managed to thrive:
3. Vision and nonconformity with today’s juncture
When considering what it really takes to be a successful
entrepreneur, may CEOs—who started as entrepreneurs, of
course—reckon that assimilating this sense of leadership
depends on several factors, especially on a defined
nonconformity and dissatisfaction with today’s circumstances
and a vision for how things should operate. These two things
allow entrepreneurs to come up with the first steps that need
to be taken in order to thrive, and that was proven by none
other than Bill Gates.
Bill Gates started with a vision first, a vision particularly radical
considering the juncture—late 70’s—since a software itself
was a tremendous business. Gates managed to articulate his
nonconformity and dissatisfaction with the fact that software
was not a business per se back then, and second, he knew
4. that software would have a tremendous impact on the world:
Gates pictured a computer in every home and on every desk
running on Microsoft. He managed to see the potential of
PC’s, but above all, he managed to see the potential of
software as a business and never hesitated to take all the
steps necessary to build software for the future. He expanded
and harnessed every opportunity as the industry started to
grow. When he started, he was also a student.
It is important to stress that last part because such
example serves as the perfect opportunity to reveal and
underline the relationship between leadership and
entrepreneurship. Both terms are deeply linker. Great
entrepreneurs like BIll Gates have to be great leaders—just
like Bill Gates—. There are some aspects and skills found in
5. entrepreneurship that span way beyond traditional and
typical leadership training. Leaders can also be considered
entrepreneurs, in fact, some of them constantly face
leadership challenges almost identical to social
entrepreneurship projects and ventures; however, it is
necessary to specify that both terms are not systematically
identical; nevertheless, it would be such a big mistake not to
reckon the substantial overlap in all of this rhetoric.
Some experts believe that if today’s educational system
empowered future leaders with entrepreneurial visions and
aspirations, today’s organizations would be less dehumanized
and would actually focus on developing people through the
creation of value through four main dimensions: vision, as
mentioned above, influence, leading in the context of
innovation and creativity, and planning.
6. Vision as a tool
Vision is the main component when it comes to inspiring
others to follow the path towards perfect and exemplary
performance or other goal-oriented behavior as well as
corporate performance. Vision, and other attributes like
brevity, clarity, orientation, stability, desire and, of course,
the ability to inspire. Individuals ought to be turned into real
followers: people willing to work hand in hand for a greater
meaningful mission while involving more people and seizing
their participation.
7. Influence as a tool
As mentioned above, one thing that remains immanent to the
various connotations of leadership, especially entrepreneurial
leadership is the ability to convey a compelling message in
hopes of influencing individuals towards pursuing a much
greater goal. Rational persuasion is commonly and rather
widely used in different directions: upward, lateral and
downward. All three can be considered as different ways to
influence people. Entrepreneurs are not only capable of
seeing opportunities (understanding how to see them: their
ways and their means), but they are also capable of
effectively organizing resources to carry out such vision and
idea. Rational persuasion and inspirational discourse are likely
to be effective when the message is compelling and the
request exudes legitimacy and is in line with the
entrepreneur’s values and needs.
8. Harnessing the power of innovation
Leading creative individuals requires certain amount of
technical expertise and, above all, creativity. It demands
both direct and indirect influence strategies.
Entrepreneurial leadership should always focus on
generating new ideas that go in line with today’s juncture,
emphasizing creativity and promotion.
Planning
Under today’s circumstances, it is quite impossible to
achieve anything without previous planning and
coordination. This part is almost self-explanatory; however,
it is a key feature and success is highly determined by its
existence. Without planning, realistic planning, there is
nothing.
