March 29, 2023 by Megan Staczek

Using the Hogan to understand how your style affects your team

 

Self-awareness about your style, values, preferences, and stress behaviors helps you make better choices about how to lead. In two recent blogs, Capacity Group shared how we use The Hogan Suite of Assessments to help teams connect, build trust, and accelerate performance. In this blog, we want to emphasize how these sessions generate important insights for the leader. I’ll share two examples that highlight powerful shifts leaders made as a result of investing in this work. [Read more…] about Unintended Consequences of Your Leadership Style

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

June 16, 2022 by Megan Staczek

An empty coffee mug

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.

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.
