2010 Success Strategies
We all love a great summer break with family and friends, but many of us struggle to get back into the work mode when the time arrives. 2010 is proving a challenging year for most organisations; with business confidence low, tax time looming, and constant media coverage of the affects of the economic downturn. Start the year off positively by COMMUNCIATING with staff - raise awareness of your current goals - and look for creative solutions to retain, engage and motivate staff!
Gen Y and Teams?
Struggling to manage Gen Y? It's time to return to a proven, valued work structure - 'the team'. Although it may sound cliche, research proves Gen Y come from smaller, often disjointed family units without a large extended family, and therefore love to work in teams.
They thrive on a work structure that allows them to participate, set goals, and contribute to meaningful work. It is critical that we ensure these teams A) are supported, B) well managed and C) effectively contribute to the organisations overall mission and goals!

Adjusting CEO Attitudes?
A colleague of mine came across this article in the archives of Fast Company - Polly LaBarre July 31, 2001 and I love the confronting messages!
Marcus Buckingham (Gallup Consulting) describes his mission; "to create a better marriage between the dreams of workers and the drive of companies to win." In this article he gives some insightful tips into how CEO's can get more from their people. His hard hitting but effective style suggests giving the boss an attitude adjustment...
Attitude Adjustment #1
Measure what really matters. (By the way -- the numbers you're using now don't matter.)
Attitude Adjustment #2
Stop trying to change people. Start trying to help them become more of who they already are.
Attitude Adjustment #3
You're not the most important person in the company. (Believe it or not, your middle managers are.)
Attitude Adjustment #4
Stop looking to the outside for help. The solutions to your problems exist inside your company.
Attitude Adjustment #5
Don't assume that everyone wants your job -- or that great people want to be promoted out of what they do best.
The beautiful thing about a culture that is built by focusing on individual strengths is that no one can steal it. And any advantage that's hard to steal is an advantage that lasts.
With the support of 3 decades worth of data, Buckingham suggests; "The major challenge for CEOs over the next 20 years will be the effective deployment of human assets," he declares. "But that's not about 'organizational development' or 'workplace design.' It's about psychology. It's about getting one more individual to be more productive, more focused, more fulfilled than he was yesterday." Read more...
Effective KPIs - track them!
On a recent business trip with our Malaysian licensee, PDCMSB - Performance Development Consultants, Ron was interviewed by Malaysian national paper, News Straits Times, on how Success Formula makes KPIs effective.
"Most organisation fail to engage their stakeholders in identifying their KPIs, and more often than not, such indicators are not tracked on a regular basis."
"People tend to think that having KPIs is the end of the story when actually it's only half, if not quarter of the story. The key is really the people who are going to make the KPIs happen." Read more...
