The Future is Human -How AI and ChatGPT Requires Us To Be Better Leaders

Leading HybridTeams In A Fast Changing Workplace

We are firmly in a workers market. Hybrid workplace is here to stay. 89% of workers surveyed have stated that they want to work remotely at least two days a week. We are in a new reality where workers expect increased flexibility and increased life/work balance. Leaders need to upskill their mindset, perspectives and strategies to inspire their hybrid teams.

There is no ‘right way’ to do hybrid. Every organization is lining up their hybrid strategy to align with their workplace culture. With the hybrid workplace comes challenges that include increased siloes, decreased communication, less sense of an embedded company culture, leaders challenged with engaging and motivating workers and more.

Workers have higher expectations from their leaders and their workplace and this means leaders and teams must upskill and reskill to ‘future ready skills’. This includes shifting to multiple perspectives, increasing compassion and patience and creating new strategies that match up with the hybrid workplace dynamics.

“Cheryl Cran is not Sheryl Crow but she is a rock star none the less! We had Cheryl as our closing keynote speaker for a series of programs for our leadership groups. Cheryl worked with us on over a dozen events where she delivered to about 6000 general managers in total from the AT&T system. Her keynote, “Lead with 2020 Vision” was THE icing on the proverbial cake of our two day events. Her ability to weave in the messages of the other presenters, her ability to engage the groups with humor, fun, authenticity and provocative thought was quite simply amazing and EXACTLY what we needed as a close to our events.
Her stage presence, her use of audience interaction and her depth of knowledge on how today’s leaders can lead change, transform people and grow business in the digital age was the reason we hired her and she is so easy to work with, it was a pleasure to have her on our team. We would definitely work with Cheryl again”

“Cheryl Cran facilitated our annual Executive Strategy meeting in February 2014 and we are ecstatic with the results. With Cheryl’s help we were able to refocus and gain clarity on our brand message to our customers, what needs to happen internally to fulfill the brand promise and what we as executive leaders need to transform in order to lead the company into its next level of success. Cheryl spent time with me and the team prior to the strategy meeting in a series of conference calls to gather input and data to help form the direction of the strategy meeting. She created an online survey to gather information and personal views on the challenges and the opportunities for the company and how the executive team viewed the future.
Cheryl has a unique ability to gather tremendous data and content, sift through it and then provide a clear and simple pathway that helps the leaders and the business to grow. Her style is direct yet fun and she is deeply insightful into the personal growth needed by each individual in order for him or her to be able to contribute at higher levels to the overall goals of the company. Cheryl as a leadership expert is consultative, creative and results focused we look forward to working with her again.”
