Welcome to Keep Your Running Shoes On Weekly Shoe Gram!
Put GPS in your business
In our opinion every company should have GPS in their business. It’s a great way to manage and keep your finger on the pulse of your company. After all, it is important to see what you’re managing in order to manage it.
Oh—I’m not taking about Global Positioning Systems. I’m talking about “Gotta Play Some”. The last time I checked, there is no “I” in team. So how much time does your team spend playing? I know this sounds silly. Work with me here…We are all still kids at heart and enjoy a good time. Many of us have worked in environments of iron fisted rule, business strictly by the numbers and the pitting of one department or individual against another. That kind of management has never worked, will never work and leads to employees looking for other jobs…and that is expensive and can do irreparable harm to your company.
Here is your swift kick in the butt challenge: Commit to finding out if you have ANY GPS in your company and within departments. Ask employees if they are having fun as well as feel like they are accomplishing good work. What is producing job satisfaction?
In your Running Shoe Monday Meeting, ask your staff what would up the ante on their job satisfaction. How could they add some “games of work” that would add to a “Gotta Play Some” booster. Do you have significance in your work and life? Let’s get some and get it now.
I know this sounds a little “un-business like”. It is supposed to. The employees are a valuable asset and if we remain true to form and encourage having all of them fully engaged in what we are doing, they will be more productive employees and we’ll have a stronger team for success.
Norma Havens or Bob Belknap at The University of Street Smarts are available to speak to your company, trade association or convention on this and other subjects. Call (775) 746-5340 or Toll Free at (877) 414-9985.
