During our team building work with client
organizations, we've compiled a collection of barriers that we see creating enormous stress for individuals,
blocking performance in teams, and robbing organizations of productivity.
Each issue, one of these barriers will be addressed in
our newsletter. We'll include
some suggestions for breakthrough thinking to give you ideas for how you might begin busting through these
barriers.

Barrier #10:
How Do You Spell
S-U-C-C-E-S-S?
Breakthrough #10: However you perceive that personal goal, you can help yourself to
succeed most easily if you participate as a “full
partner.”
What does success mean to
you?
Recognition?
Learning
opportunities?
Financial
rewards?
More free
time?
The key lies in
identifying your unique requirements, and then in communicating them to your managers and employers. Once
your personal goals and those of your employer are aligned, the chances are greatest for a win-win
situation.
The catalyst in
all this is you!
So, what do you
do when the big employers come courting? Suddenly, it seems everybody is ready to up the ante … so why not
hop along to the next big assignment?
Why?
Because you know better than anyone that it isn’t all about chasing after the cash. For example, wouldn’t
it be great to work for someone who allows you to develop and broaden your marketable skills? And what
about an organization that lets you telecommute? Or lets you bring your kids to work?
What about an
office where the environment is “cool” - a place where the emphasis is on quality . . .not quantity?
It’s not
Utopian. More and more people are beginning to understand that work is about a lot more than simply a
paycheck. So, if work is more than money, why would you cross the street and risk being miserable just to
make a few more dollars?
Your working
environment can give you more of what you want. So look around, take responsibility for changing
your environment ... as well as asking for what you need.
Remember: If you can't/don’t identify your own needs, how can you expect the organization to do
it?
