Get Unstuck…(Tuesday)
On November 18, 2008 in Thought for the Day
Your success isn’t based on what you did yesterday. It is based on your best review of today’s environment - identify what you do well that offers great value and then do it in a STAND OUT way will get you noticed. Be noticed for the value you provide and word will spread about you. If you do what you did yesterday, you blend and if you blend, you lose. Learn from your history but don’t get stuck in it. Assess your business today and learn how to use today’s world to drive your performance.
Get Unstuck Tip: This week we are looking at the SWOT analysis tool; today we look at the “S” – Strengths. Recorded under the “S” in SWOT are the things that your organization does very well. These things have the best potential to be developed into things that STAND OUT. Review what you are very good at and build a plan to make each area extraordinary (that gets you noticed). Tomorrow we address “O” – Opportunities.
If you find your business stuck in the past, contact Humanetrics. Our focus is driving performance in a STAND OUT way in today’s highly competitive and fast-paced workplace. Be sure to read this week’s featured resource: Re-Imagine! by Tom Peters.

Learn to Love Change (Friday)
On November 14, 2008 in Thought for the Day
Most organizations are stuck; they fight change instead of understanding it and using it to innovate, perform and respond. This past week’s national election has shown us that even a nation with 306 million people can change – behaviors, attitudes and opportunities. Regardless of your political affiliation, see the power in the ability to change.
Organizations must be willing to constantly change and reinvent themselves to be competitive and successful. They do this by staying informed, being connected to their world and considering all options for growth and performance. Talented employees encourage this outlook and help organizations use change to stay ahead. This week we present Learn to Love Change tips and feature Steve Farber’s book Radical Edge as our resource of the week.
Learn to Love Change tip: Start offering a monthly program to your employees that includes an outside speaker. Insure that the speaker’s topics are always diverse and not always directly (or obviously) linked to your business. After each program, assemble your employees and have them relate the new information to your business and how what they have learned could be applied to make the organization better.
Successful organizations can accommodate change because they have the best employees. Contact Humanetrics to learn how to attract, hire and retain the best employees capable of performing in periods of change.

Learn to Love Change tip: Start a monthly program of “raise it to a power.” Select one aspect of your business each month (product, service, policy, workplace) and have your employees raise it to a power-make it extraordinary. Consider having them read Steve Farber’s book Radical Edge to get them going.
More tips tomorrow.
