Lead on Purpose

AUGUST 11, 2012

Let’s face it…some days are tough, some months are long, and occasionally some years seem endless. When you’re going through difficult times it can be tough just to get out of bed in the morning, and rolling up your sleeves and working can seem nearly impossible in these difficult down times. With that said, we (at least everyone reading this blog) know that tough times come, and they go.

Guest post by Kyle Lagunas. In a time when the workforce is increasingly transient, your ability to identify high-performing and high-potential employees—and that of your managers—is critical. And yet, many struggle to distinguish one from the other, negatively impacting their ability to develop and retain top talent. In many organizations, performance is the primary measure of an employee’s value in the organization.

Guest post by Matt Herndon. Most of us look at failure as a negative occurrence. Surely if we fail at something, that’s a sign of weakness. But even the most successful people in the world have had their failures. Remember when Michael Jordan decided to play baseball? While it wasn’t his greatest success, he was able to turn it into just another lesson learned during a long and prosperous career.

By Susan Wells. Get to know your employees. “People won’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” – an old axiom, attributed to Theodore Roosevelt. Showing your employees that you care about their well being is more than providing great benefits and insurance coverage. The corporation provides benefits, while individuals develop trustful and caring relationships.

I had an interesting experience this morning. In preparing for the Snow Canyon half marathon I did my weekly long run on a trail that attracts a lot of runners (in Provo canyon). As I’m running I tend to make some sort of contact with people I pass on the trail; a wave, a nod, a “good morning” or some gesture to perhaps brighten someone’s day. Often I’ll get a wave or a nod back, but not always.
