‘Approach each conversation with confidence– lead with positive intent.’

‘Recognize your team members’ contributions to both the process and results with equal exuberance and praise.’

What do they mean to you?

‘Leadership means telling the world why a company exists- its purpose- and describing a vision for how that purpose will be achieved.’

‘An organization’s culture is so much more than a slogan or poster. Culture is nothing less than the aggregate of tens of thousands of interactions and decisions every day. … Creating a culture means choosing a limited number of values that define the company as surely as its products or logo do, and then encouraging expression of those values in everyday behavior.’

‘Authenticity means people are living the same company culture that the CEO describes and that the HR department claims in job descriptions.’

‘Appreciation means recognizing work well done. It’s a subjective expression in the same way one ‘appreciates’ a work of art or a clever solution to a work problem.’

‘Engagement at work is the willingness to give discretionary effort to a job. It means voluntarily doing more than the minimum. It is an attitude confirmed by behavior.’

‘Empowerment transfers the power to achieve results from the manager to the employee.’

‘To manage is to choose among multiple options, and business situations inevitably cause a manager to choose in the moment between, for example, customer satisfaction and greater efficiency.’

‘Gamification means adding elements of game design or game mechanics to nongame contexts. In the workplace, it could include elements like awarding points for hitting milestones and competing for prizes.’

‘Commitment without alignment means wasted effort (and frustration). Alignment without commitment means wasted potential (and employee turnover). Recognition singles out great performance (commitment) that focuses on strategic goals (alignment).’

‘Measurement means relevance. Without it, any project tends to justify itself.’
