For many, the word “leadership” conjures an image of a single person at the helm, steering the ship. But it’s a misleading image. At CCL, we look at leadership as a social process, one that helps each person to discover the potential within themselves and — in turn — everyone around them. To jumpstart that potential, your organization needs to be intentional by ensuring that clear Direction, Alignment, and Commitment (or DAC) are present from the start, as these are really the keys to how leadership works. This introduction to our leadership philosophy dives into the Direction – Alignment – Commitment (DAC)™ framework, outlining how its key components can transform the way you approach leadership: Direction — Learn how setting a clear objective makes it easier to avoid the detours and distractions that pull us away from reaching our goals. Alignment — See how embracing cross-department networking and creating space for open and inclusive conversations can minimize confusion and maximize output. Commitment — Discover how making the success of the collective a personal priority can inspire team members to shift from compliance to motivated commitment. How can you boost DAC within your organization? We cover that too, with tips for engaging with your teams to identify areas of opportunity with the most potential for impact.

Relief seems to be in sight as macroeconomic and labor market trends suggest that both inflation rates and unemployment rates will moderate throughout 2024, leaving us with the lowest rates since the start of the pandemic. As hiring begins to increase, it is more important than ever to get pay right. Employees will have more mobility and options in 2024 as hiring plans expand, and pay transparency trends show that more candidates report an unwillingness to apply for positions that do not include salary information. Pay data reporting requirements, like those in California and the E.U. will continue to shift norms and behaviors around transparency. With employee demands and new legislative requirements in place, this means the push towards more transparent pay practices is here to stay. HR leaders and managers will continue to field questions from employees about pay practices they might not be prepared to answer. Some Critical Action Steps you can take as an HR Pro to recruit and retain top talent are: ○ Develop or refresh your organization’s compensation philosophy and make sure it is socialized throughout your organization. ○ Build salary ranges based on credible market data. ○ Conduct pay equity assessments to spot any gaps early on.
