Julie Kniseley - HR (and More) in a Minute
The world of work and leadership is evolving at a rapid pace, and to navigate these changes, we need to break free from outdated notions of management and hierarchy. In the latest episode of the Bosshole Chronicles podcast, we are joined by Julie Kniseley, the President of James Moore HR Solutions. Julie brings her 30 years of experience in the HR industry to shed light on the shifting landscapes of work, management, and leadership in the 21st century.
A significant topic we explored is the changing role of managers in organizations. Julie advocates for the transformation of traditional hierarchical structures into flattened structures that encourage team leadership and peer interaction. She also underscores the importance of adopting a purpose-driven mindset within the leadership group, as this approach resonates more with younger generations in the workforce. Julie further suggests that the introduction of AI can play a vital role in supporting the growth of these generations in their career paths, by freeing up time for people to become better managers.
We also delve into the future of remote and hybrid work, which has become a focal point due to the impact of the pandemic. Flexibility in the workplace is no longer a perk but a necessity, and organizations that fail to adapt may find themselves losing out in the race for talent. We discuss the challenges of managing remote teams and the potential of a hybrid model, which offers the best of both worlds. The discussion also touches on the repercussions of the pandemic on commercial real estate, as more organizations mandate a return to the office.
Shifting perspectives on retirement and leadership are another hot topic. We are witnessing a generational shift, as new waves of employees with different approaches and priorities enter the workforce. The traditional corporate ladder is giving way to the concept of an individual contributor pathway, a change that reflects the evolving attitudes towards work-life balance and career progression. Investing in training managers and supervisors, therefore, becomes more crucial than ever.
The future of work is changing, and so are our perspectives on retirement and leadership. To thrive in this new era, we must be ready to adapt, evolve, and embrace new ways of working and leading. Contact Real Good Ventures to ensure you’re ready.
