Constantly I see teams losing direction about their meaning and purpose. Let's face it, that's why I get hired. It is expressed in negativity, burnout, stress, the silo mentality, conflict and poor communication. I also hear the pain of people being unhappy, dissatisfied and looking for something else in search of a better place. Many of them forget that the better place starts within.
I observe people becoming the victims, some actually become persecutory and then there are others that try to save what is worth saving. This fruitless game is a no win situation for the workplace and life in general.
What is clear in this changing workplace is a loss of sight on what matters, a lack of inclusion and connectedness between the people and its culture. Is this true?
The challenge, (because there is one....or it's an opportunity)
Ask yourself this and then ask the people around you could they confidently stand up in front of a group at a moments notice and answer the following?
What is the workplace culture like?
- What is the vision?
- What are the core values?
- What is the strategy to achieve the vision?
- What are the collective goals?
- When will these goals be achieved?
- What roles does everyone have?
- How are people valued in their role?
- What is the social responsibility policy?
