Dear Associate;
I am sure that you are well
aware of all the things that you would like to see, do, experience,
acquire and achieve by December 31st, 2010. I would venture
to say that even if a budget has not been set, even if a venue has not
been identified, even if a specific target date has not been confirmed,
you have all hopes for their respective achievements. Am I correct in
this assumption? That is a personal perspective of you and the year
2010.
Let us apply these same aspirations
to you and your Workplace. Questions for the Associate: For the
year 2010, do you know:
-
Your workplace
strategic plans?
-
Your team/departmental
goals?
-
The forecasted
changes to your job description?
If your answers to those
questions were in the affirmative; “yes”, congratulations! You and
your Workplace seem to have a thriving relationship where communication
is paramount, it may be the workplace culture or how respect is shown
to the Associates. Your workplace may be focused, aggressive, confident
and well organized. You are probably a contented Associate who is prepared
and well informed for what lies ahead. If you your answers were negative
or partial yes and no, this present an opportunity to improve communication,
inspire commitment, ignite, excite and release new opportunities.
Associates, may I offer three
suggestions!
First, to those who answered
in the affirmative, do not rest on your laurels; seek to maintain the
present state and cultivate measures to extend this apex even higher.
Second, to those who answered
one or more questions in the negative; Step it up! Identify the appropriate
time, setting and Workplace Leader to ask your question(s). Do
not allow your intentions to be dashed by the paralyzing twin brothers;
intimidation and fear. Be bold and courageous! Your question may just
spark a transition that will change the course of Workplace legacy.
Third, those whose answers
do not in anyway impact your level of interest in, passion for and commitment
to your Workplace, perhaps 2010 is the year that you consider your options
and discover new alternatives.
