Who’s falling behind? Thriving organizations leave those who don’t grow, behind. Change leaves those who don’t change frustrated, wondering what happened.
The puzzle changed and they don’t fit.
Helping snails keep up:
Successful leaders are people watchers. Know who’s falling behind.
Watch people first and performance second.
Observe:
- Energy levels. What drags down?
- Frustration levels. What frustrates?
- Happiness levels. What energizes?
- Development levels. What training or initiatives captivate their attention?
- Change levels. What’s changing in them or their circumstances?
Performance is about people. Capable people, who fit in, love delivering the goods, when they believe in the mission. How are you enhancing capacity, building health, and aligning with mission? How are you helping others fit in?
Performance is a result; people are the end.
Go positive not negative. Positive motivates. Positive interactions create positive environments. If all you do is fix problems, all you’ll see are problems to fix.
