Got to thinking about how the business world has been turned upside down over the past three years and how the new “norms” are beginning to take shape. Then, my thoughts expanded into what new roles will the managers and leaders of organizations need to add if they truly want their people to excel and return higher levels of results?
Here are five new jobs (and old jobs for the forward thinkers in the group) for managers and leaders to guide their organizations into the new business world. And, don’t kid yourself or deny the business world has not changed – because it has. And, change will be a consistent part of your future landscape.
So, here are five new jobs for you to think about and work into your current routines and success habits. Continue reading ‘Five New Jobs for Top Managers and Leaders’ »

We all know that when we are “in the flow” we experience increased performance. This is as true in business as it is true in sports. Our creativity, problem solving, task management, and learning are enhanced.
Flow does not mean doing the same thing every day very well. Although much of life as well as our work does require a bit of routine and sameness, a good by-product of being an engaged employee is the ability to step outside of the comfort zone and into greater creativity.

Engagement is about commitment. Passionate commitment! Employee engagement is not the touchy-feely stuff or positive thinking mantras. It is not job satisfaction. Think about this…. Sometimes people are satisfied doing “nothing”. Is that what you really want?
Engagement at the leadership level is paramount! Studies show that employee disengagement is four (4) times higher for employees who work for a disengaged manager or supervisor. Think about the hard and soft dollar costs of this disengagement scenario! Continue reading ‘Employee Engagement is Energy …Not Satisfaction’ »

There is a lot of discussion about core values. In essence, they are principles that should govern the way we live our lives, run our corporations, and live inside of our families and communities. Our core values should be non-negotiable. Most people recognize this need for identification of their core values, even if they are not written down. Harder still is to continue to live by them.
Do you know your personal core values?
If not, begin now to think about them.
Identify… Continue reading ‘Do You Know Your Core Values?’ »

What Optimism Brings to Your Life
An article that I read today on the recovering national job outlook made me reflect back to a beloved childhood book. Who hasn’t read, The Little Engine That Could, by Watty Piper?
The mantra throughout the story is, “I think I can, I think I can.” The story teaches the values of optimism, hard work, and determination. The story is about a long train that must be pulled over a very high mountain. After a number of larger engines declined to pull the train over the mountain, the “little engine” agreed to try.

We have looked at EQ a number of times in our posts. This post looks at the importance Emotional Intelligence plays in the development of successful teams. Yes… teams have a collective emotional quotient! And developing High Team EQ is a Success Habit!

Researchers have confirmed what Human Resource professionals have known for quite some time. One’s level of emotional intelligence is a great predictor of success at work as well as a measurement of healthy and productive relationships and leadership abilities.
Research has also shown that EQ is the second most important factor in job performance, only behind cognitive intelligence. So, it stands to reason that we will all benefit by improving our personal Emotional Intelligence Quotient! Continue reading ‘A Good “How To” List for Improving Your EQ’ »
