It’s long been known that people want and expect more from work than money. Whether an organization likes it or not, employees are always taking the proverbial temperature; asking themselves the critical question – how does this organization make them feel?
Does the organization positively add to their experience or is it single-handedly making them long for greener pastures? Whether they have the ability to leave today or are making plans to do so in the near future, there’s a huge chance that the ultimate decision will have less to do with money than one may think.
At all levels of the organization, engagement, motivation, and loyalty to the firm are always center stage. According to a study done by Amabile and Kramer1, out of close to 700 managers interviewed, only 8% understood what motivates employees in their organizations. So besides extrinsic motivations such as salary and benefits, what are the top intrinsic (emotional) motivators and expectations employees have when it comes to the world of work? Download this white paper about the three things employees want just as much as money.http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/3938500/White-Paper

What’s the problem with problem-solving? For starters, it often creates an endless cycle of canceling out the negative, which typically perpetuates the status quo. This can keep people so busy and preoccupied that they fail to envision and pursue a significantly better alternative. And it can fill attention and conversation with so much negativity that positive experiences and aspirations never see the light of day.
Leaders, and the teams they lead, often study “the” problem and over analyze root causes. Often meetings focus so much on the negative that feels like a convention of the Pessimists Society. How about starting with a different approach- focus on the positive first.
Read this article to find out how to focus on the positive first, that focuses on possibilities than problems.

What are proven coaching processes that optimize and reward talents, results and possibilities by shifting from a passive to an active coaching approach- where the client defines the issue, understands the WHY, identifies what can and cannot change, sets the milestones and rewards, and accepts the consequence of little or stalled behavior change.
