Hello, How are things going in your part of the jungle? All quiet on the savannah? Or, are you still finding a few rhinos to wrestle? Recently, I was working with a staff that was all as they say, “at sixes and sevens”. Some didn’t like each other. Some didn’t like their task assignments. Others simply did not want to be there. We began with everyone doing the Core Values Profile, www.CoreValuesProfile.com, and learning about themselves. Then we moved on to learning to turn that supposed work group into a high-performance team. Each member was valued and better understood. Task assignments were re-sorted so that people were, to the best of our ability, doing things they liked to do and using strategies they preferred. Two people realized they were definitely in the wrong place and went off to find positions that suited their intrinsic values and skills, which opened up places for the folks we really needed to facilitate productivity, profit and peace. The rhinos that remained had settled down because everyone’s skills had taken big leaps forward. No big fires. No big stand-offs. No downtime. No more pain. You know, giving folks the understanding and skills to bring their best and have it work for all concerned if a big gift to each person as well as to the company. New program:Workplace People Skills certification program!
