PeopleTek April 2009 OFFERINGS:

“Leaders must know where they are going if they expect others to willingly join them on the journey”.
- Kouzes & Posner, The Leadership Challenge
Dear Leaders,
As we approach the end of the 1st quarter we need to take a pulse of where we are, where our team is, and where the organization as a whole is going.
Admittedly this has been a difficult year for so many of us. Jobs have been eliminated, wages and benefits have been cut, and lifelong customers and clients are “taking a break”.
So what can we do?
We can revisit our vision, mission, and goals and either validate that no changes are required, or make revisions and communicate them to all that are impacted.
We can also conduct personal and organizational assessments based on skill-sets, organizational knowledge, and leadership behaviors. Where are there gaps?
Are you:
Lacking passion and motivation?
Experiencing anger or frustration?
Stuck in unproductive behaviors?
Not as accountable as you’ve been in the past?
If you are experiencing any of these issues there’s a good chance your co-workers may be in a similar situation.
Take the time to check-in with them. Ask how they are doing and share what you’re experiencing. This is a great time to utilize and grow your network and be aware how changes in your professional world may be impacting your home life. They are certainly not mutually exclusive!
Sincerely,
Michael W. Kublin and Jan Mayer-Rodriguez
