We listen today to a former colleague and HR and Organizational Leadership expert, as he describes his career journey and seven factors that drive exceptional work performance. Our guest, Michael Sabbag, whose entire background has been focused on creating leadership to help us become performance all-stars at work and in life.  Not only has Michael had an incredible career in senior HR and  Talent Management roles across  leading companies within diverse industries, such as PWC, Comcast, Learn.com, Sixt an Uberesque German-based global company, and now currently with one of the largest public healthcare organizations BrowardHealth.org in Florida. We have a very powerful conversation around what we can do to become a peak performer at work and in life. Boyscouts Eagle credsGrowing up Michael was in the boy scouts and worked hard to earn his Eagle badge, one which only less than 2% of all Boy Scouts achieve. The work-ethic and sense of emphatic and positive leadership developed from his experience with the Boy  Scouts at a very young age. He has carried those values with him through his career calling within talent management and organization leadership development. “Soft skills or interpersonal skills are the hardest and most important for senior leadership to hone into" – Michael SabbagLeading with strategy, not tactics to achieve better outcomesMichael describes the incorrect thought process of using the commonly used sandwich method of starting off with a positive statement, then the middle attention to the challenge and finishing it off with a positive affirmation, during our one-on-ones with your team or direct reports. This method is both outdated and ineffective according to him.  He believes that there should a direct approach, using empathy, but squarely focusing on where the skill or achievement gaps are and then focusing on how to  coach via positive reinforcements. “Healthcare leaders in our system  cannot start off with tactics, we must start with the Why, the strategy to get to our outcomes. At Broward Health our why is to have the best patient outcomes for them and also their families” – Michael SabbagWhat's the focus for remote workers  in healthcare or in general?Michael describes the critical importance of having clear expectations of goals and deliverables for remote workers.  Also being more conscious and deliberate around  communication  and touching base more often with a remote workforce.  At Broward Health their remote team is using Microsoft teams, but regardless of tech platform, err on the side of over-communication. “Ping your folks on line and ask then how they are doing, tell them what you're doing and what they think, keep the same hallway conversations, but just do them via virutal platforms” – Michael Sabbag Back to the Future with Michael Sabbag“Don't sweat the small stuff, overempahasis the things that have long-term impact and under-emphasize the things that have short-term impact” – Michael Sabbag.  Book recommendations to help you get 1% better1.

The 7 Factors that Drive Work Performance with Michael Sabbag from Sixt

Organizational culture is a key driver of success. It impacts how leaders lead, office design, what is expected of people, and, ultimately, the experience people have with the organization. However, organizations rarely think about culture as a strategic tool and design the culture they wish to have. Rather, they do one-off projects like a leadership development class or introducing a new benefit and hope things get better without any metrics assessed as part of the design and with no overarching goal for change.  Best practice organizations measure various aspects of their culture and strategically design how they should be. They do this in the context of the organizations history, identity, and strategies. In this podcast, we discuss what culture is and why it’s important, strategies for measuring organizational culture, and cultural change and adaptability strategies.
