Editor's Notes

  • #4 CommunicationCooperationCollaborationPatiencePersistencePerseverance
  • #5 When it comes to the language of business we need to understand that there are many different “Dialects” within the overall language. The language of the CEO, the Board of Directors, the Managers and the Front Line Employees will all look at things differently.
  • #6 Word Map from www.visualthesaurus.comWhen it comes to the language of business we need to understand that there are many different “Dialects” within the overall language. The language of the CEO, the Board of Directors, the Managers and the Front Line Employees will all look at things differently.
  • #7 Vision should answer these two questions. 1. What are we trying to accomplish? 2. What is our desired future state?Values should answer these three questions 1. What is our organizations reason being? 2. How are we going to treat and act towards one another, our customers and our stakeholders? 3. What change(s) do we need to make to our work culture?Long Definitions (As I have chosen to define them)Vision:The organizational Vision is a look into the “Desired” future of the organization. It should be clearly stated, it should be concise and it should invoke passion at all levels. Everyone in the organization should feel compelled to and proud to make the vision reality.Values:The organizational Values are the fundamental “Beliefs” that the organization holds to be important. The values will answer what the organizations higher moral purpose is and will direct the organizations pursuit of goals and what behaviors are acceptable in reaching those goals.Simply believing in the vision and the values espoused is not enough, they have to be translated into action. That means acting according to our organizations Vision and Values cannot be merely an abstract obligation but must be built into the way that we conduct business.References:“Building a High-Performance Organization in the Twenty-First Century.” 1989-2007 Commonwealth Center for High-Performance Organizations, Inc.“Lincoln on Leadership.” Donald T.

  • #13 Measurements Drive Performance. What is measured is what is done. If you make any improvements to your processes but do not change the measurements then you will likely find it difficult, if not impossible, to sustain the improvements.Measurements must be tied to performance. Even changing the measurements for your process may not be enough to sustain performance. If the personnel who supervise the process are still evaluated the same, they will find a way to drive the old behaviors (That made them successful) utilizing the new measurements.
