Have you ever felt like your organization or your employer only care about money—making money, saving money, making even more money? Have you ever felt like you are expected to keep giving more and more of your time and energy, but aren’t given the opportunity to provide input on how to better utilize that time and energy? Huh! Well I think many of us have had this experience, too. When employees’ needs are addressed, they are able and more willing to give their best and fulfill the organization’s needs. Why do so many organizations struggle with this concept and its execution? (Shout it out so I can hear you…) Crap!

Let’s break it down…

Learning Organization

Do you feel that the learning you engage in is not utilized, acknowledged, or valued by your organization? Do you have opportunities to use knowledge acquired and share it with others so they can also benefit from it? Are there built-in feedback loops in your processes, policies, and procedures? For those who answer yes, you may work for a #learningorganization. For those who said no, well, you don’t. A learning organization has a culture that views every activity as an opportunity to learn something new and uncover blindspots. They are also willing to #cutthecrap...

Why Employees DO Need Hope

Do you experience hope in the harvest of your efforts? Do you even know what the fruits of your particular labor are or will be? If you do know, will many people in the community (local and/or global) benefit? Do you feel gratified and inspired by your work? You can each receive this hope, but probably don’t. Here’s why…

Hope in Higher Education

Many feel there is no hope for higher education institutions in light of recent closures and widening relevancy, expediency, and outcomes gaps. The debilitating cost of higher education degrees seem to be commensurate with the dysfunctional management systems used to run these institutions. Customer experiences (parents and students) are rough and ragged as they navigate the disconnect between perception and reality. The hope for higher education is in each organization’s ability to cut the crap that has created these gaps. I’ll break it down…

Leadership Education

Have you ever noticed that there are so many business, management, and leadership books out there and they just keep coming? How about management and leadership schools, programs, and degrees? It seems like new ones keep popping up but we aren't seeing their positive impact in organizations. Why are we "selling" what too few folks seem to be "buying"? Why are we struggling to lead change with so much help all around us? It's time to #cutthecrap.
