Build momentum in your day
Posted by: | CommentsHow are you building momentum in your day? Since this is probably your first day back at work from the holiday break, how is it going?
Are you energized and getting back into things? Or are you finding yourself dreading what will happen in your day.
The great news either way you are right. If you do not like what is happening to you then make a choice now to make it different.
You say that is easier said then done. I understand what you may be feeling, however you can turn it around with a question or thought.
Let’s start with the thought. Write down what you are thinking right now. Ask yourself does that thinking get you to where you want to go? If not what new thought can you choose to move you in the direction you want to go?
Last night my home town football team, the Bengals lost 37-0 to the Gets. Wow, what a blow to their thinking. In just 6 days they have to play them again. If you were their coach what suggestions would you give them to win next week? My input to them would be, that was then, this is now.
In terms of a question to turn your thinking around try this,
what choice can I make now that moves me into who and what you want to be?
Today I am working on plans for our Move Into Your Greatness seminar happening Jan. 11-15. This is definitely a place you can be assured of success thinking and feeling. Happy new thoughts.

Inspiring Responsibility in the Workplace
Posted by: | CommentsGetting FOUR employees to do the work of ONE is one of the easiest management jobs available, and one of the most common.
No! That was not a typo…..Personal productivity is one of the most mismanaged areas within most organizations. Not because employees want to work at less than their capabilities, because THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULTS….YOU ARE!
If you have employees that are working at 20% of their personal capacity, and you have accepted that as standard, then you are hiring at that standard. Because you are accepting less, less is happening…YOU ARE AFFECTING YOUR CASH FLOW!
Here is a quick Responsibility Audit. Let’s see how you do.
1) Customers openly brag about your companym
2) Company annual income growth of 20%+
3) Weekly suggestions for improved profit
4) Your employee is more important than a customer
5) People are standing in line to work for you
Two or more “no” answers mean you have a problem with employees taking responsibility.
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Is it the way we lead? Is it the way we deal with shortcomings? On the other hand, do we treat our employees like children?
Through all of our years of experience in working with all types of businesses and organizations, we have come to recognize a consistency of cause and effect with regard to employees not taking responsibility.
