The varied nature of these trending topics got me to thinking about how we often react to trends in the business world.
As leaders, we are often faced with trends in our industries, trends in human resources, and trends in technology — just to mention a few. But how do we handle all these trends?
With the weight of our companies, our team members and their families on our shoulders, it is important not to be easily swayed by the latest trend.
Evaluate each trend against the core values of your company. If it is in conflict, move on.
If the trend does indeed line up, then watch it over time. If the trend holds, then it should be carefully considered. That is the thing with trends, they change pretty often.
Do not become so set in your ways that you fail to recognize a sustained trend. For example, businesses all over America are still wondering about the idea of "flex time." However, many companies have embraced the concept and have attracted high quality team members that would not have even considered the position had it not been for flex time.
Don't know what flex time is? Read more about it here.
So leaders, be aware of trends, carefully evaluate them, and implement those that apply.
Until Next Time...
