"What can we do better than anyone else in the world?"

Today we will be examining why it can be so difficult to develop a single unifying goal as well as the iterative nature of it. it.

This week we will be discussing how to design, simplify, and disseminate a meaningful organizational goal. We want to develop an organizational goal that everyone can rally around. It needs to be core and simple.

In Mindset we see to competing mindsets: - The Growth Mindset - The Fixed Mindset

Does your organization provide a way for people executing day-to-day work a way to lobby the business? This helps the business with potential blindspots and increases the level of investment team members.

Today is about the "When." Specifically, employee level commitments. Instead of having management dictate how longs tasks should take employee level commitments grants the employee the responsibility to make task estimations.

Today is about the "How." How do we receive our work in a way that encourages employee investment in a project? Customer Need + Desired Result = Goal Based Requirements Actionable Tasks = Traditional Specs

Today we will be exploring the environments of our customers and users. In other words we will be covering the "where." Understanding our customers/users.

Today we are continuing our discussion about creating an emotional bond between our project contributors and users. Let's begin by imagining our end user or audience. They can be called user profiles, target audiences, or personas.

WhistleBiz - POD Series Part 5 - "A Mile in their Shoes" Developing Passion within a Project

Before diving back into the POD series a quick note about Empowerment.

Today we are reviewing Seth Godins latest and greatest work called "Poke the Box" It is a manifesto of initiation.

Yesterday we established meaningful goals setting with an employee. Today will be concentrating on how we direct the goals through out the year.

Why do 98% of organization say they need performance reviews and development plans but only 42% of them actually do them? The employees can't stand them and the hiring managers see them as just a ton of work. Clearly something is broken.

POD Series Part 2: "The Map & the Compass: Passion Integration" Yesterday we discussed identifying passionate individuals. After we have found that person and the correct skill set it is time to integrate their passion into our company.

POD stands for Passion, Ownership, and Dedication. Passionate employees, combined with a culture that rewards and cultivates passion will give the employee a deep sense of Ownership. Allowing for Ownership leads us to fierce employee dedication.
