Middle managers are the backbone of any organization, driving engagement, productivity, and innovation. As someone who’s been in middle management, I know firsthand these statistics and how challenging it can be without the right tools. When I received my first promotion, I lacked key essentials like: 1. Understanding myself and how to manage my energy 2. Responding rather than reacting to challenges 3. Empowering others instead of just managing them These tools—and so much more—will be shared at my Black Friday Goal Rush event, register below: ⏩ https://lnkd.in/gmnZTUz7 Can’t make it in person?

This week I was delighted to attend yet another session organized by The Boardroom Masterclass: "Tone at the top. Mood in the middle. Fervour at the bottom." We had an afternoon boiling over with great nuggets on building a rich organizational culture from the top down. My take aways: 1️⃣ Board culture (or any other culture for that reason) must be formed, believed and lived. Culture cannot simply be a project. Its a lifelong process that involves passing down, teaching and influencing whether at the top, in the middle or at the bottom. 2️⃣ Every executive and board member needs to be coached and mentored. Building a culture that can be passed on means that it is clearly taught, communicated and practiced in the Boardroom and the corridors of an organization. 3️⃣ The Board needs to allow for well curated opportunities to facilitate interactions with Senior Management to pass on, influence and communicate the culture and allow for a natural flow from the Top-Down. Tone, Mood, Fervour in that order 😊 Looking forward to the next!

One of the management disciplines we teach in EOS is "rewarding and recognizing." The best managers not only do this, but they tailor rewards and recognition to the person. Not everyone wants balloons, or a handwritten note, or lunch with the boss. Get to know your people, and track what is meaningful to them. The amazing Melissa Yerxa Ortiz -- Talent Optimization Expert recently shared an incredible worksheet for doing just that. (I used to use something similar when I was an Integrator.) It will help you take your recognition efforts to the next level. (This is just a partial screenshot - be sure to contact Melissa for the full document and instructions!) #LMA #management

Today brings a much awaited event: “Building Company Culture through Relationships Panel and Workshop”, (https://lnkd.in/gMn4YqcH) hosted by fellow Countermeasure Daniel Klompmaker. 👏 Congratulations and thank you for hosting, Dan! Some questions that sit with me, Why do companies want to intentionally build, or not, culture? ⭐️ How does the relationship with yourself impact your company culture? How does it impact you and your team’s results? When we talk about culture and relationships at work, I suspect that we’re typically thinking external interactions with others. Our own core beliefs, thinking, and emotional experiences shape our actions, though. So, it seems reasonable to think that our relationship with ourselves (including our internal dialogue) will impact our external relationships and company culture (consciously or otherwise). Right? It’s time we consider not only external and visible processes, but also internal human ones. David Bovis, M. npn and Levent Türk (🧠Mr.BTFA🧩) call this internal process BTFA (believe, think, feel, act). Bob Emiliani has written about this in “A Changed Perspective”. A Changed Perspective: An Essential Guide for Emerging Leaders https://a.co/d/4rhV8fR Taichi Ohno said, “We are doomed to failure without a daily deconstruction of our various preconceptions.” Have you thought about your thinking yet today…? Happy to assist with your reflections; just get in touch. Respect humanity.

Fmr Head of a major hospitality Leadership Center is speaking at #CSSA in Napa. She is talking about creating WoW moments for customers. She said a very well known hospitality company allows each employee up to $2,000 per day to create WoW moments for their customers/help with potentially disgruntled customers. She talked about how it completely empowers employees to make WoW experiences for customers and they appreciate this autonomy. Of course this organization trains to automatically make WoW moments for customers, the avg coast of their $2,000 per day program is only $10 per day. Point is empower your people to create WoW moments and they will not abuse it and you get more magic moments in your business. What are your thoughts on this WoW moments program?

RAMP UP RECOGNITION IN 2024 Want to motivate your team and supercharge productivity this year? Roll out a formal recognition program. According to our research, sellers who felt achievements were visible and recognized by their leaders were nearly TWICE as likely to exceed quota. So get in the habit of calling out the achievements of your reps. It strengthens your culture. Reinforces desired behaviors. AND boosts morale. Celebrate the wins – a little act can go a long way.
