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?
