Starting 2024, another new year, can you clearly answer why you're going to work each day? "Well duh, I need a paycheck." Everywhere you go to work will give you one, it's permission to play, not a differentiator. Can you answer clearly why you're going to work each day that is something not required by law? At CyberFortress, we use the EOS system, and in that system the second question you answer after figuring out your Core Values is determining the Core Focus -- the clear answer to, "why?" The, "why" doesn't need to be specific to your industry or specific to any set of skills. At the company level, we're focused on ensuring everyone is doing work that's meaningful to them, and that they love the people they get to do that work with. We focus the "why" with a "what" so there's clear criteria on work we should each be doing. If there's a task or project where an employee answers, "No" or "No!" to either question that's an issue. If you combine a clear focus filter of two simple yes/no questions, with the permission and ask for folks to bring up issues, when either is not a, "Yes" or "Yes!" then you have the opportunity for long term engagement, creating an environment where folks look forward to coming to work each day.

9moI come to work each day because I can't stand that people hate work, watch the clock, and live for the weekends. And I can't stand that that means that companies pay good money to people who then phone it in. It's a terrible spiral! So my team and I work to help align the interests of employees and employers -- boosting communication, collaboration, leadership, and inspiration. Training people to awaken one another's brilliance. Thanks, Bret Piatt, for the prompt to start my day inspired!
