Issue #10
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.
How
Do You Spell S-U-C-C-E-S-S?
What does success mean to you?
Recognition?
Learning opportunities?
Financial rewards?
More free time?
However you perceive
that personal goal, you can help yourself to succeed most easily if you
participate as a “full partner.”
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 don’t identify your own needs, how can you expect the organization to do it?
