Dysfunction in the Workplace |
|
How Awareness and Communication Improve Team Dynamics In Patrick Lencioni's best-selling book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, he tells a tale of a firm's executive team struggling with utter dysfunction. Ineffective communication, multiple egos, fear, office politics and judgmental attitudes were all contributing to the absence of dynamics and poor performance.
Does this sound familiar to you? Have you experienced a dysfunctional team in your career?

The True Value of Talent Management |
|
Beyond salary and sales, there are many important aspects of talent management that are often not tied to the bottom line. Yet, "dollarizing" the value of talent management initiatives is vital to bottom-line analysis. Whether you are placing a value or cost on your current status, or calculating the ROI of your next talent management strategy, metrics that assess the monetary value will help you see the true effect on the bottom-line.

“Are we measuring and rewarding the specific behavior we want?”
- Jack Welch
The former Chairman and CEO of General Electric worked very hard to get the best from all of his employees. By most accounts he was very successful at doing it.
Do you measure and reward performance effectively and in a way that aligns with your strategic objectives? Do you feel like you have good people, but fail to get their best effort? Can you articulate a clear, shared vision and strategy for achieving it? These are a few of the tough questions to consider, especially in the challenging times of 2009.
All great organizations share several key elements:
- A clear, shared strategic vision and plan for the future that is understood by all employees
- A process to manage the business strategically every day
- A healthy, effective leadership culture that releases the full potential of its people
- Productive practices that include efficient processes, clear goals, follow-through and accountability
Creating a healthy, effective culture is one of the challenging problems for any organization and often we struggle to take appropriate measures to improve. LMI offers a proven, research validated approach to dealing with this challenge and can help you get the most from your people. Contact us today to learn more...

The Top Five Reasons NOT to let the "R" word stand in the way of investing in your organization's development in 2009...
- Reason #5: Since you don't dare invest money anywhere else right now, you might as well invest it in yourself, your know-how, your self-improvement, and your business.
- Reason #4: You aren't going to get a "bail-out" from anybody but yourself!
- Reason #3: "All weather is local." What happens in YOUR business, YOUR finances, and YOUR life still has much more to do with how YOU think, what information YOU acquire, who YOU connect with, and what YOU do, than with any goings on in Washington or on Wall Street.
- Reason #2: You can't just ‘wait this out' and hope everything will soon return to ‘normal.' An entire New Economy is developing, presenting new challenges and new opportunities, requiring new strategies, which is why we feel it is critical that you start now with a serious analysis and optimization of your ‘process' so that you can create the future you dream of.
- Reason #1: Only the Best and the Brightest invest in their own development, it's how they create that ‘slight edge' difference between them and the next person which when compounded hour by hour and day by day and week by week allows the few to blow the doors off the many.
