‘For midcareer employees with significant personal responsibilities, lattices work best in the context of continual communication. That way, employees and managers can explore how to address all the ‘moving parts’ that play into career decision.’

‘Structured mentoring and cross-training are two components of lattices that are flexible enough to accommodate the demands of midlife.’

‘Celebrate all forms of career growth- both lateral moves and promotions.’

‘Lateral rotations within a team are a proven technique for making the most of all the talent embodied by team members.’

‘Align lateral moves with your team’s emerging skills needs. Use intrateam cross-training and lateral assignments to help achieve business results.’

‘Short-term rotations and assignments are ideal first steps because they provide low-risk lateral experiences while filling immediate business needs.’

‘Integrate existing resources and talent management techniques into your organization’s career lattices.’

‘Peer relationships are essential to success on the lattice. Your lattice crew consists of a spotter, who provides peer coaching as you get a grip on new skills; your wingperson, who flags emerging opportunities.’

‘Chronic skills gaps can be filled through targeted training and strategic lateral development.’

‘Business context is always changing, and cultures need to evolve along with those changes.’

‘A great way to start making a Culture Shift is to look at what’s happening inside your company that fits the culture you want and build on it.’

‘It is only through planning that you can know your Vital Goals and whether you and your team are doing the right things for the right reasons at the right time.’

‘You must be consistent with your goals and with your message, or people will stop taking you seriously.’

‘When people know what is expected of them and there is nowhere in the company to hide, goals are achieved at a greater magnitude and with greater consistency.’

‘The math of business isn’t sexy, and sometimes it is hard work to capture and post the data. But if you understand its application, you will always have the edge over competitors, thereby leading to victory.’

‘Measurement enables us to improve our performance by providing a standard against which we can accurately gauge that performance.’

‘Know the attributes and qualities you want in your idea candidate before you begin recruiting.’

‘What gets reinforced becomes a part of the culture, and what does not get reinforced dissipates.’

‘Top performers are obsessed with training and practice. They don’t just achieve greatness and then coast through the rest of their career. They keep striving to be the best.’
