Change Is The Law Of Life

By Gibson on May 25, 2018 6:30:00 AM

Today we’re sharing insight from guest blogger Matt Kelly, a senior manager at Plante Moran. We hope you enjoy Matt’s wisdom and perspective.

The world is changing faster than ever. Technology is affecting the way people interact, do business, and grow relationships. And although we’re quick to think about the ramifications of these changes on things like meeting customer needs and keeping up with the competition, one area that’s often overlooked is talent development.

The growth and development of staff is critical to the success of any organization. So ask yourself: is my organization equipped to handle the needs and wishes of our staff amid this constant technological change? And, if not, what are you going to do about it? Here are a few things to consider in order to be more agile in developing your staff.

Reading To Lead

By Gibson on May 4, 2018 6:30:00 AM

Today we’re sharing insight from guest blogger Ron Kitchens, Chief Executive Officer at Southwest Michigan First. We hope you enjoy Ron’s wisdom and perspective.

We can all agree that reading changes lives for the better. Isn’t that why we encourage our children to read instead of playing video games? No one would ever say that a person is completely wasting their time by spending an evening at home with a good book. But if everyone knows that reading is transformative, why then are there so few readers these days?

To bridge this gap, the country’s leading companies are starting programs that encourage their teams to better themselves through reading. The retail giant Zappos, for example, has an enormous library filled with books for employees to borrow or even keep. While seminars, conventions, and training courses are all critical to professional development, they have one downside: they are expensive. Depending on your budget, reading may be a great supplement to that additional learning or an inexpensive alternative.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other...(Turns Out It's True!)

By Gibson on Apr 27, 2018 6:30:00 AM

 

Today we’re sharing insight from guest blogger Brad Serf, Principal at Gibson. We hope you enjoy Brad's wisdom and perspective.

Earlier this month I had an opportunity to attend The Masters in Augusta, Georgia. I think most would agree it is one of America’s iconic events (note I didn’t say “sporting events,” I said “events”). It is like a rite of spring. Each year, on that first weekend in April, we are drawn to this event - the beauty of the course and frequent drama it generates. My first memory of The Masters is Tom Watson’s 2-shot win over Jack Nicklaus in 1977. My mother liked Watson, so I did too. I remember watching the final holes while enjoying our traditional Sunday evening dinner.

Now as much as I enjoy The Masters and acknowledge that it is an iconic event, for years I had found their tagline - “A tradition unlike any other” - to be, well, arrogant. Who do they think they are to make such an audacious claim? There are many great traditions out there!

After experiencing Augusta National, I can confirm it is indeed a tradition unlike any other.
