Zitat des Tages von Lynne Doughtie:
Culture is nourished by human motivation - a limitless resource that can sometimes be underestimated.
If you're open and honest, you find that people genuinely want to help you out. Taking advice from others can enhance your relationship, especially if you can laugh about things.
The most resilient companies foster a pervasive culture of innovation at all levels of the organization - one that values risk-taking, embraces experimentation and considers failure an inevitable part of thinking boldly.
Innovation tends to be quite siloed in most organizations. There is usually a group over in one corner charged with innovation rather than making it everyone's responsibility.
Golf isn't one of the things I'm best at. You're in a situation where you're vulnerable when you're not a good player. But what I've found is that those are the times that you can build the most lasting relationships.
The importance of inclusive behavior was modeled for me early in life. I have many childhood memories of my mother - an entrepreneur and business owner - drawing people to herself and inspiring them with the genuineness of her interest in them.
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship provides a fantastic platform for us to demonstrate our commitment to elevating women in business and the sport of golf through the Championship, KPMG Women's Leadership Summit, and KPMG Future Leaders Program.
Sponsorship is about putting your name and reputation on the line for someone else. It could be as simple as recommending someone for a new role, yet it's one of the most powerful cultural tools any organization has.
Innovation has to be pervasive.
KPMG is committed to the highest standards of professionalism, , and quality, and we are dedicated to the capital markets we serve.
KPMG's use of IBM Watson technology will help advance our team's ability to analyze and act on the core financial and operational data so central to the health of organizations and the capital markets.
The best leaders begin with an environment that embraces and rewards change and innovation.
Cultivating innovative thinking starts at the top. Leaders can foster a culture of innovation by encouraging creativity and experimenting with new ideas.
Since there is always a risk that an innovation will fail, you must be able to pivot quickly when an idea doesn't perform as planned.
When women are starting out in their careers, they tend to be confident and look to aspire to leadership role and really want those positions. But then over time, as they advance, they become less confident and don't think they can attain those roles.
Leaders need to model the values of their organizations in ways that encourage inclusive behavior. This means inspiring others to collaborate and work together; ensuring everyone is heard and ideas are shared.
Mentors and sponsors are beneficial for personal and career growth.
I started playing golf when I was just out of college and starting my career with KPMG. I took a few lessons, and my husband has always loved to give me pointers - for better and for worse! I realized that you could really enhance relationships by being on the course with clients. In fact, my very first golf game was with some clients.
The biggest challenge for a leader is harnessing the rapid pace of change in technology, as that is going to impact every industry and every organization.
The most effective way to do it is to do it.
I tell women to not make hasty decision based on circumstances on just that moment in time. Press the pause button.
You can build many relationships with people while playing 18 holes, no matter how good you are.
