A MEGATREND IN THE MAKING FOR MANAGERIAL EXCELLENCE IN THE 2020's WORKPLACE

5 W’s & 1 H of the Motherly Manager

World Economic Forum predicts non-cognitive soft-skills as vital for managerial success in future. However, these are not given priority in the formative years of a manager. This has led to demotivation across the workforce, which costs trillions of USDs annually. In 2018, Gallup found that job disengagement created 550 billion USDs in lost productivity in the US alone. Many disengaged employees were actively searching for new jobs. Society for Human Resource Management finds that lack of soft-skills among managers is a major source of resource mismanagement in organizations.

What’s Next !

TMMI [Tee-(pause)-mhi]

Organizations have transformed over the years, so also the manager. If the present is any indication of the future, one thing is clear: The person who’s being managed is no longer subservient to the manager; the former isn’t shying away from jumping the gun even at the peak of her/his career graph (e.g., Naomi Osaka’s split from her coach recently despite rising to world #1 tennis ranking).

This phenomenon has many names. John Gerzema and Michael D’Antonio call it “The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule The Future;” John Mackey and Raj Sisodia “Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business;” Michael Porter “Creating Shared Value;” Peter F. Drucker The Age of Social Transformation;” Ron Alsop “The Trophy Kids Grow Up;” Sherry Turkle “Alone Together;” Unilever “Sustainable Living Plan;” the World Economic Forum “Fourth Industrial Revolution;” and so on. We offer TMMIThe Motherly Manager Inventory—an array of core human competencies to create managerial effectiveness and human flourishing in the 2020s’ workplace.
