A Season of Change!
A great thing about the state we live in, is that there are definite seasons. Each season has heralds and markers that signal it’s arrival, such as the brilliantly colored changes that our leaves go through.Some seasons represent growth, and others represent maturation.
The Bailey Group itself is going through a season of change. We are saying goodbye to a friend in Julie Resch, as she steps into the next chapter in her career, and we welcome Eileen Nordby as our new Office Manager.
We are also proud to announce the elevation of our own Barb Krantz Taylor, to the position of Co-Principal of The Bailey Group, joining Martha Carlson and myself.
We are also in conversations with Wendy Friede to establish an exclusive partnership to serve the needs of our clients who are experiencing the challenges of a generationally diverse workforce.
As women leaders are taking a more predominant position in the spotlight (political candidates, anyone?) the conversation on the characteristics of women leaders is heating up on The Exchange “A Forum for Women Leaders” to join fellow women leaders in the discussions, click on the Forum link on the right.
Finally, we have another tip from Kathe Grooms on battling your email inbox to avoid being buried by emails.

A Challenge for Leaders – Being in the Moment
By Leigh Bailey via The Bailey Blog 
I have had a couple of recent experiences that have reminded me of the importance in accomplishing challenging goals of paying attention “in the moment” and acting with intention and patience.
The first was on a canoe trip earlier this month to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). This was my 18th consecutive year travelling in the BWCAW with the same group of friends. One of the things I can’t help but notice is that…

Leading in Today’s Cross Generational WorkplacehВ
By Wendy Friede
Leading today’s generationally diverse workforce brings a set of challenges and opportunities never faced before. This is the first time in the history of the United States that there are four differentiated generations showing up in the workplace. Each generation brings with it differences in values, work ethic, education, communication style and attitudes towards authority and teams. After all, each has been influenced by different events during their formative years. But do these differences mean we need a whole new tool box for leading effectively? I believe that there are core leadership competencies that are effective in attracting, motivating and retaining any talented employee but what’s different is the need to be flexible and nimble in the application of the basics.
The mix of those in the workplace today is heavily weighted towards the biggest generation swell of all times, the Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers, those between age 44 and 62, account for 76 million of today’s population. That’s 46% of the total workforce.
