How to Regain Our Energy

July 22, 2022 by Megan Staczek

A sunrise in NYC

Our last post discussed the energy drain and crisis many of us are experiencing, having survived the pandemic, and living in unstable times. In it, we talk about a few keys to energy, such as:

  • How social connection is fundamental to our well-being
  • The importance of tracking and noticing your energy
  • The idea that leaders have a responsibility to be in good condition to lead, which includes ensuring we have good levels of energy and resilience

In this post, we share tips for refilling your tank so you can have the energy to lead your team and organization into the future. Taking care of yourself will help you be more caring towards others in your life, both at work and at home. In today’s dynamic and ambiguous environment, it is critical that leaders must have compassion! [Read more…] about How to Regain Our Energy

Assessing Your Energy Post Covid

Leaders are finding themselves exhausted, which is no surprise as we survived Covid, having skillfully navigated our personal lives, work teams, and organizations. As we exit the pandemic mode and enter a hybrid work mode, many leaders find themselves and their teams lacking the same drive and commitment they had pre-pandemic. The recent war on talent further compounds an already difficult situation for leaders.  After two and a half years of near-stability, firms are experiencing talent exits on an unprecedented scale, creating instability once again.

Burnout…and Re-Engagement

September 9, 2021 by Megan Staczek

Half empty or half full signs

After a long 18 months of living in the pandemic environment, firms are beginning to more fully Return to Office (RTO). From recent conversations with our clients, we are hearing about a new challenge which is staff burnout.

Having made it through the pandemic in very successful ways, organizations are now seeing that their people have reached a point of exhaustion. While we had moments of this throughout the pandemic, burnout seems to be taking a higher toll at this time. Our blog aims to highlight distinctions about burnout and offer some suggestions that can help you navigate burnout for yourself and your team.

Past the Crisis:  Challenges that Persist

February 11, 2021 by Megan Staczek

A deep canyon

Now that we have entered 2021, leaders are still dealing with all the challenges of 2020 but with the added element of time. Research indicates we all have levels of resilience we employ to get through a crisis; the bigger trial comes when that crisis turns into an on-going challenge. At this point in the pandemic, leaders and teams are burning out. This may be attributed to the continued experience of life at home, which often includes isolation and a lack of social interaction, on top of the day’s demands. Our last two blogs took a more in-depth look at resilience. Now it’s time to pair that quality with leadership.

Advancing Careers

November 12, 2020 by Megan Staczek

Are you wearing shoes? While women have seen some big movement recently in breaking the glass ceiling, there are still barriers to career advancement, including the glass cliff. All leaders, regardless of gender, need to be aware of the barriers that prevent more women – particularly women of color – from effectively growing their careers. We already know that diverse teams, including teams with a mix of genders and races, outperform other less diverse teams and businesses (see leanin.org, catalyst.org, and studies by Stanford and the Women at Work initiative).

Envisioning the Way

Envisioning the Way

At Capacity Group, we’re partnering with executives as they take steps in leading their organizations into stage two of the response to Covid-19: the re-envisioning phase. In my recent blog, Disruption = Go, I shared the idea that now is the time to both accelerate change in your organization and start additional changes given the disruption and adaption everyone has recently survived. Now we’re stabilizing a bit in this altered environment and there are important actions leaders must take to move forward with your business and clients to create the future for your organization and associates.

Moving out of crisis and into envisioning requires shifting how you spend your time as top leaders. It also involves purposeful action to engage people in thinking about, ideating and envisioning new ways of operating focused around key priorities.
