How Great Leaders Inspire the Best from Their
People
Being inspired is unique to the individual, and inspiration has
different meanings for different people. Inspiration can stimulate
both the intellect and emotion and often motivates people to action.
Inspiration fills people with emotion, which then stimulates creativity,
influence, and meaningful contribution.
Recall a time when you were inspired by another person. Ask yourself
the following question: Was I inspired more by my thoughts about
this person's actions or was I inspired more by my emotions as a
result of those actions? In other words, was your experience based
more on what your head or your heart experienced at the time? [more]
Talent Retention and Challenging Economic Times: A Proactive
Leader's "To Do" List
When was the last time you told your most valued employees how much
you appreciate their contributions? When was the last time you asked
them, "Why are you staying?" Now, I don't mean that literally,
but let's think about this for a moment. Isn't it true that we normally
ask our employees why they are leaving after they have given notice?
Wouldn't it make sense to be checking in with them on a regular
basis to determine why they are staying? You may consider asking
them about their overall job satisfaction, clarity about future
career path and development, feelings of appreciation and affirmation
for their contributions to business success, etc. [more]
What's Your Organization's Unique
Employee Value Proposition?
Let's begin with a simple definition of Employee Value Proposition
(EVP): An EVP is made up of everything employees experience and
receive while being a part of an organization. It includes both
intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. I use the word "unique"
because each EVP is truly unique as related to the organization's
mission, values, leadership, culture, and compensation and benefits
philosophy among many other variables. [more]
