Ho Ho Ho, HR Leaders!

This holiday season, let’s take a page from Santa’s playbook. After all, Santa’s been managing a global operation for centuries, so there’s plenty we can learn from his leadership style to make our teams thrive.

Here are three HR lessons from Santa that could change the way you work:

Delegate Wisely:

Santa knows he can’t do it all alone. He trusts his team of elves, and so should you. Empower your employees with the right responsibilities and watch them deliver results.

Engage and Support Your Team:

Santa’s elves love their work because they feel valued and connected. Create a positive work environment where employees are motivated and appreciated.

Prepare for Peak Performance:

Santa’s team doesn’t wait until the last minute. Set clear goals, offer the right resources, and ensure your employees are equipped to perform at their best during peak times.

Oooh, there’s more from the elves.

Here’s what you can do when your bank starts apologizing

You may have gotten a ‘sorry’ email from your bank, saying that if you had a 5% APY cash account, that privilege is being snatched away. And with interest rates set to keep sinking… where to pivot? But now, for a slice of their portfolio, Masterworks’ art investing platform is offering shares to 66,000+ investors, with each of their 23 sales individually returning a profit to said investors. With 3 illustrative sales, Masterworks investors have realized net annualized returns of +17.6%, +17.8%, and +21.5%!
