Did You Know?

A cooperative mindset, boundary spanning, and igniting purpose have a multiplicative effect on each other. The lack of any one of these three elements significantly reduces the potential energy of a Hot Spot.

Employee Engagement - Critical to Your Success 
Leaders are the foundation of employee engagement.  Employee engagement has been the focus of much interest over the past decade.  The Gallup organization has identified a wealth of findings that validate the worth of investing in your leadership team, especially during tough financial times.  Here are just a few statistics:
  • Engaged organizations outperform the earnings-per-share of their competitors by 18%.
  • Engaged employees average 27% less absenteeism than those who are actively disengaged.  
  • Engaged organizations (those in the top half of engagement surveys) have 70% higher productivity and 86% higher customer metrics than organizations that scored in the bottom half of engagement studies.
Challenging times call for organizations filled with engaged staff and high-performing leaders.  How does your organization stack up?
  • Is everyone (leadership and staff) clear on the organization's long-term vision and their role in achieving it?
  • Is there a sense of ownership of the organization's success by both staff and leadership?
  • Does communication flow easily throughout the organization - up, down, in, out, around?
  • Is there is a strong level of trust between leadership and staff?
  • Is staff clear about changes in their job and the organization?
  • Are your employees clear about their value to the organization?
  • Do your employees receive timely feedback on their performance?
Your people may just be the ANSWER to the economic woes your organization is feeling.  Make the investment today to amplify your results.

Books Chris Recommends:

Hot Spots Book Image by Lynda Gratton Hot Spots: Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz With Energy and Others Don't,
by Lynda Gratton

Gratton shares over 10 years of research about why some organizations thrive and grow and others don't. She describes "Hot Spots" as the energy created by the result of a dynamic combination of three elements - cooperative mindsets, relationship boundary spanning, igniting purpose - and their outcome - productive capacity.
 
So easy, yet so few organizations are capitalizing on this concept for success! Read this one!

You can find this book, along with others I recommend, on my Amplitude Recommended Reading pages.
