One of my CEO leadership coaching clients knows that for her company to attract top talent her organization will need to become more innovative and green. I am consulting with the company senior leadership team to develop a more sustainable business strategy. They are currently evaluating several green business scenarios.
The CEO knows that thriving in the future depends on hiring managers attracting environmentally conscious future employees. She is empowering her leadership team to think green and create a more innovative company culture and climate. Human Resources is partnering with the CEO in making their company attractive to socially responsible future hires. Our current executive coaching and leadership consulting work is focused on helping the company attract top talent who want to work for an innovative green company.
Green Hiring
Recruiting and retaining the right people is crucial. Recent research suggests that three-fourths of U.S. workforce entrants regard social responsibility and environmental commitment as important criteria in selecting employers.
People who are happy about their employers’ positions on these issues also enjoy working for them. Thus, companies that try to become sustainable may well find it easier to hire and retain “green” talent.
Leadership and talent are critical for developing a low-carbon economy. The current economic system has placed enormous pressure on the planet, while catering to the needs of only about 25 percent of its inhabitants. Over the next decade, this number will double, creating more consumers and producers.
Traditional approaches to business will collapse, and companies will be forced to develop innovative solutions. That will happen only when executives recognize a simple truth: sustainability = innovation.
Are you working in a company or law firm where forward thinking leadership is determined to grow a more green enterprise? Does your company or law firm provide leadership coaching and leadership development to help leaders become more innovative and develop a more sustainable business strategy? During uncertain economic times, leaders need to fully engage the entire workforce and create sustainable business practices.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is “Am I an enlightened leader who understands the importance of hiring green?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive coaching and leadership development for leaders who want to make their organizations green and thrive.
Working with a seasoned executive coach and leadership consultant trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i CPI 260 and Denison Culture Survey can help you create an organization focused ion executing a sustainable green business strategy. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision, mission and strategy of your company or law firm.
