Feedback

How are you doing at asking for feedback?
Are you truly getting authentic feedback?
How do you know?
Have you ever received feedback which surprises you?
Is feedback the truth?
What are you doing with the feedback?

Feedback is critically important in relationships.  Unfortunately, many are poor at giving and receiving feedback.  Even worse, are the situations where we believe we are getting authentic feedback and truly are experiencing a facade.

When we ask for feedback from our clients, one of the top areas they tell us we have aided their organization is in area of authenticity and “not holding back”.

The Cause

“The Cause”, “Our Mission”, “What Matters”, “Making a Difference” — Is it important that your organization have a “mission statement”?

Some tend to dismiss the importance of “mission statements”; however, we have been reminded over the past month of their importance.  We believe that deep rooted in all of us is a desire to “make a difference” and “do something that matters“.  Being able to see how our daily work ties to a greater purpose brings an increased level of energy, excitement, and passion to our lives.

An example we would offer is the story of ELANCO.  It’s at the point when their organization made the connection to “The Cause – Feeding the World” that they started experiencing one of the most impressive cultural transformations we’ve seen in an organization.  We encourage you to read more of their story.

While the mission, or purpose, of each of our businesses may not seem to be as significant as solving world hunger, we challenge you to pause and ask yourself, what is “The Cause” and start to connect with it daily.

When’s the last time you quantified your contribution?

While we are the first to point out that not all contributions to the “success” of a business can be quantified, businesses are in business to make a profit; thus, business owners and their employees should periodically quantify their contribution to profitability.

We generally challenge teams to identify specific tangible results which at a minimum equate to 1 ½ times their annual compensation.  As a management consultant, we like to see our contributions equate to a minimum of 3 times our fees.

Over the past 5 years, we have averaged contributions of over 5 times are compensation through the leadership and inspiration of multiple High Performance Teams.  We are passionate about Manifesting Results and would love to speak more with you about opportunities.
