The World Series and Best Teams

Posted in Leadership Training, Uncategorized.

October is here. That means the baseball/MLB playoffs (starting on the 7^th) culminating in the World Series (in late October).

The World Series causes me to think about the best teams ever. In sports there are multiple. Baseball (as much as it pains me to say): New York Yankees Football: Green Bay Packers; then Dallas Cowboys; then San Francisco 49ers, then the New England Patriots. Basketball: Boston Celtics; Los Angeles Lakers; the 1992 Men’s Olympic Dream Team; and the UCONN Women’s Basketball Team (111 wins in a row). Soccer: US Women’s National Team.

September 6th is Labor Day. But…is it really?

Posted in Performance Management.

Labor Day was originally created (in 1894) to celebrate the achievements of American workers and their contributions to the economy. But now, most of us have lost sight of that intent and regard it as the end of summer, outdoor pools closing (here in the Washington DC area), picnics, some parades, and the eager anticipation of football coming back.

Tim Stratman

Just how does an organization build a culture of truth-telling. Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, gives us a four-part approach to answer this question:

Do you delight your customers?

We believe in Customer Delight. That’s the Advocacy box. Maximize the outcome AND the experience!! Think about what you get back when you have advocates.

Building AND Sustaining High Performance Teams

Posted in Leadership Training.

Teams are everywhere. Some are outstanding, some average, and some suck.

What is a team? By definition, teams are comprised of people with INTERDEPENDENT roles or tasks. That means that different people are doing different tasks. As well, person A will be doing or producing something that’s important to person B or C.

2020 Behind Us

Posted in Leadership Training.

2020 is behind us. Thankfully, we have turned that page. With the new year comes a renewed sense of hope and anticipation. Some of that gets channeled into the NFL Playoffs and other sports. For others it’s resolutions and commitments. Still another group wishes for accelerated progress on the pandemic, economy, and social and climate change.

Great Visions and Strategic Plans

Posted in Strategic Planning.

The vision is our picture of success for 3 – 5 years downstream and the strategic plan is the path to get there with outcomes, strategies, timeframes/deadlines, and sometimes responsible parties.

Thinking and Measuring Employee Commitment … Simply

Posted in Employee Engagement.

American businesses and organizations often struggle to measure employee commitment/engagement. They use a wide variety of surveys, interviews, and observation — all trying to make the connection to the organization’s financial (or budget) bottom line.

Executive Coaching for Results

Posted in Executive Coaching.

Coaching has become much more mainstream over the last 15 years as an effective management/leadership development approach. But … what is coaching?

Leading and Managing Organizational Change Successfully

Posted in Organizational Change Management.

Although research shows that 70% - 80% of major change initiatives fail to accomplish the desired/intended results, there are approaches that managers can employ to implement change successfully and institutionalize it.
