ENTREPRENEUR – To address diversity fatigue, companies should focus on integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into the core business strategy rather than treating it as a separate initiative. Leaders must ensure DEI efforts are authentic and aligned with the organization’s values and goals. Regularly measuring progress and being transparent about successes and challenges can foster trust and commitment among employees. Providing continuous education and training on DEI issues helps maintain momentum and engagement. Additionally, creating a culture of accountability, where everyone is responsible for advancing DEI, can lead to more sustainable and impactful outcomes.

HBR – Promise-based management is crucial for translating strategy into action by fostering a network of commitments within organizations. This approach addresses common execution failures, such as disengaged employees, siloed functions, and complex matrix structures. By emphasizing clear, well-crafted promises, managers can enhance coordination, agility, and employee engagement. Public, explicit, and voluntary commitments are key to this method. For example, Royal Bank of Scotland and AmBev have successfully utilized public promises to drive performance. Effective promise management also requires continuous dialogue to adapt to changing circumstances and ensure alignment with organizational goals.
