Are You On The Path To Burnout?

I enjoy unhurried conversations where joys, hopes, dreams, and fears bubble to the surface of our often too-busy lives.

Who Do You Need on Your Team?

Few companies have found the holy grail of management: High Employee Engagement. In the average company, about 32 percent of employees are actively engaged in their work and about 20 percent actively disrupt operations. But for those who figure it out, the rewards are unmistakable. Companies who score at the top quartile of employee engagement outperform those in the bottom quartile on virtually every measure of success. The Gallup Organization finds the gap in performance between top and bottom quartile companies varies from a low of ten to a high of seventy percentage points depending on what dimension of performance is studied. Here is short sampling of those performance gaps.

There has been much written about building the right team. Here are some thoughts from top business leaders:

  • John Maxwell – Unity Begins with the Leader – A true team – one whose members work together to achieve greatness – has a unified vision.

I have worked with leaders and teams for the past 35 years.  From this experience, observation, and interviews, I believe there are 5 keys to developing and having an amazing team.  Before taking the first step to developing an amazing team, you must be a committed leader who not only wants an amazing team, but is willing to be vulnerable, communicative and accountable.
