Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive?

Daniel bricks
Who was Daniel and why is his name on some of the bricks?

 

Should you be let go for our obvious, gross negligence?

Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive? Of course. Yet it’s astonishing how many people know it but do not actively design their corporate human resource practices with intentionality.

It’s Sunday, January 25, 2015. Who cares? No one.

But what if we recalled that January 25 was jungle jeff’s very first day with the Walt Disney Company?

But it was so long ago, 1982, that it no longer has relevance or value to today’s work.

Epic failure.

Hard to appreciate the Mississippi River without the knowledge of it’s headwaters.

Most of your employees have no knowledge of your founder. Not even if their life depended on it.

Acceptable?

Easy or easily forgotten

On the second of only three runs in ten days, this sign instantly brought to mind a missed opportunity. An easy thing to add, if only an organization’s culture thinks intentionally – a corporate culture by design, not by default.

Thank you for visiting Dorney Park.

There are variations and or additions that could be added, but most important to communicate is “Thank You”.

Easy.

Or easily forgotten?

Thank you for reading this post. Be amazed and be amazing today.

Self employed sounded so lame

Less than 24 hours ago the substitute dental hygienist (filling in) asked, “What do you?”

Only the second day into retirement no one had asked this question yet so there was no thought about an elevator speech.

So it sounded like this, “Self-employed.”

Ha.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
– Peter Drucker

Add another to-do to the checklist – craft compelling elevator pitch.

And check one off – make a courageous decision.

Oh my gosh, what a year! Is it possible that after 30 years the 30th year would be the best one ever?

It was bound to happen. We reap what we sow.

Excellence.

Don’t hope for it. Don’t wish for it. Don’t even strive for it.

Demand it!

That’s the heart of organizational vibrancy.

I am the deepest thinker in the room. My job is to rattle the cage so to speak. To get people to think differently. If they walk out of the room thinking the same way they did when they entered, we didn’t need to have the meeting. – jn

What if we had a reputation as the person or organization that can honestly say:

You can’t get this anywhere else.

With everyone jumping and shouting, ‘pick me pick me’, how do we stand out as the obvious choice?
