Lions & Tigers

Every day we hear about the challenges leaders are balancing -- economic volatility, talent retention, shifting budgets, and enabling remote and hybrid work. Today, we are focused on solutions.   We are beyond excited to announce that our founder & future of work thought leader Brea Starmer has authored an open-source playbook for leaders focused on real solutions.   “Avoiding the All-Or-Nothing Workplace: Enabling People to Operate at their Highest & Best Use™” is a playbook built to empower you with the information and frameworks you need to de-risk P&Ls, unlock skills agility to keep pace with customers and competition and create access to more diverse and inclusive talent, driving profitability and innovation.   If you are a Senior Leader, Chief of Staff or Team Manager, the playbook guides you to manage your talented team’s skills and capacity against business priorities, while establishing a culture of innovation driven by inclusion.   Read & share the full playbook here https://lnkd.in/grPy-5jD #futureofwork, #management #leadership

Successful maternity leaves require more than just filling a seat — you need a strategic & supportive approach. 🌟 At Lions & Tigers, we transform maternity (and paternity and caregiver) leave transitions into opportunities for growth and continued success. Here's how we do it: 🗝️ Identify Key Milestones: We pinpoint the critical business outcomes and milestones that need attention during the leave, ensuring that your organization continues to thrive. 🗝️ Unmet Goals: We discover what tasks and goals have yet to be achieved, opening doors for innovative solutions and fresh perspectives. 🗝️ Define Success: We work with the team member to understand what success looks and feels like upon their return, ensuring a seamless and confident transition back into their role. By addressing these areas, we create a backfill plan that keeps your business moving forward while supporting the team member’s long-term goals. It's about more than just keeping the seat warm — it's about creating a thriving environment that values every contribution. We'd love the opportunity to support your team members in the best way possible. 💪 Read more at the link in the first comment below! #maternityleave #backfill #innovativeleadership
