Make Every Penny Count - Friday
Our financial world is changing before our eyes. Its uncertainty has reminded us of how we must be fully in control or our financial house – at home and at work. So this week, let’s review a few ways that when we spend, we spend wisely. Let’s review ways to spend that generate great returns; let’s see how we can amplify the effect and make every penny count.
Today’s tip: Add “performance improvement” as a topic in your weekly team meeting (be sure to have a weekly team meeting!). Have one employee address a topic that will improve performance and present it at the meeting. Brainstorm ways to implement. Pass this responsibility to everyone on the team – give each a week to prepare. The return? Increased ownership, greater ideas, performance improvement and greater loyalty.

Today’s tip: Start a mentoring program in the organization. Pair more senior employees with junior employees to create a powerful exchange of ideas. Younger employees can help older employees understand technology and social trends. Older employees can share practical applications for improved performance. The return? Greater communication, shared ideas and more connection.

Today’s tip: Show employees that you spend wisely on their development. On a slower day, a Saturday or some other point where time allows, host an employee meeting with a powerful performance speaker. Focus the speaker on areas of the business that need improvement and use the program to inspire ideas and introduce new skills. Have all employees create action plans to use what they learned. The return? Greater contribution, more accountability and greater loyalty.

Today’s tip: Education is still the greatest investment. We are in an intellectual age and the more employees know, the more value they can build. So instead of cutting spending on learning, require that when employees participate in internal or external education, they must create an action plan and quantify the impact of the difference they can make with the new information. Hold employees more accountable to develop practical, performance-based skills that make a difference. The return? Increased learning, greater ideas, more contribution and increased loyalty.

How to succeed in a period of change…(Friday)
Face it, we are always in a period of change; nothing stays the same. Organizations that embrace change, knowing that it can inspire continual innovation and greater performance, are well prepared for success in today’s world.
This week we look at the two ways to succeed in periods of change. First: always commit to trying new things to old issues, and second: draw from 100% of your employees in looking for solutions and ideas.
Today’s tip: Create “creativiteams” – teams specifically assembled to creatively and innnovatively address a critical issue, challenge or opportunity. Give this team total creative freedom to propose any solutions that will address the issue, challenge or opportunity in a significant and nonconventional way.
