The Secret to Less Stress & More Success

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:00:15 CDT

In a 24/7 work climate, it's not smart to wait for vacation to renew. In fact, if your employees don't know how to refuel - in minutes - every day, I'll bet they're showing signs of stress. Like lack of focus, reduced enthusiasm, increased bickering, and even reduced productivity and increased sick days. The bad news is stress is not going away - we'd better all figure out how to cope with doing more with less...without ruining our health! The good news is...there are hundreds of ways employees can recharge in ten minutes or less...at work, at home, and en route. Hold a meeting that says, "we care about you," and the benefits will be more than a bump in morale. You'll also see more resilience, better performance, and reduced costs from mistakes, absenteeism, and healthcare claims. Empower employees to manage their energy, and everyone wins!

AFRICAN AMERICAN VOICES FROM IWO JIMA

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:55:54 CDT

African-American Voices from Iwo Jima has captured their accounts of the life and times of a period in American history through the voices of eleven African Americans who participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima. The oral histories that they will share in this book include their service in one of the fiercest battles of World War II, the Battle of Iwo Jima. When the barriers to military service for African-Americans began to fall in the early 1940s, these men answered the call. They all agreed that they believed it was their duty to serve, even though they knew they would be required to do so in segregated units. That was the policy for the service of African-Americans during World War II. There were some exceptions, but most were assigned to support units, which were generally located in rear areas, rather than the front lines. A presidential Executive Order issued in 1948 began the process of desegregating the military, and in 1954 the last segregated unit was disbanded. The interviewees will share with readers their personal experiences from the time they were born in the early 1900s, growing into adulthood during the Great Depression, the pre-World War II years, their military training, the thirty six day battle for Iwo Jima, coming home and the civil rights struggles that occurred during the 1950s and 1960s. One of them would be awarded the third highest award given for valor in the face of the enemy, the Silver Star Medal and another would remain in the military after World War II, participate in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts and retire from active duty with twenty-six years of service. Most would be discharged, return to their families and pursue careers as civilians. Segregation and racial discrimination continued to be a way of life for them until the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. They all believed that they would never live to see that happen or the election of an African-American president. Dr. Willies educational and military background has clearly prepared him for the task of preserving the oral histories included in this book. He was reared in a military family and graduated from high school on a military installation in Germany. His surroundings, during those years, nurtured a keen interest in the military, world history and World War II. In college, he pursued those interests by majoring in social studies and history. When he graduated from college, he entered the United States Marine Corps and became intrigued with the service of African-Americans in the military. After twenty-two years of service, he retired from the Marine Corps as a lieutenant colonel, became a high school history teacher, earned a doctoral degree in educational leadership and retired from the profession of education as a school district superintendent. He has now developed a keen interest in documenting the service of African-Americans in the military. In that regard, he initiated an effort which culminated in the production of a documentary that has aired on national television and introduced its viewers to the first African-Americans to serve as United States Marines. And now, by way of this book, Dr. Willie has recorded and preserved some new perspectives to add to that body of knowledge about the Battle of Iwo Jima and the service of eleven African-Americans who participated in that conflict for history that could have been lost forever.

2-Day Workshop: Strategic Planning: A BMR Exploration

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 10:48:22 CDT

Far more important than the strategic plan document, is the strategic planning process itself. Business Management Review (BMR) focuses on what gives life and meaning to an organization and brings you face-to-face with whats working and whats not. Encouraging innovative thinking, participants control their own brainstorming process first by contributing their own ideas and then considering the ideas of others. It shifts the focus from one of deficit-thinking, where organizations spend most of their time analyzing their problems and remembering what they did wrong, to a strength-based approach that hones in on the organizations best face and moves toward making it even better. The BMR session, presented by Working InSync (WIS) is the process of developing a shared vision of your organizations future, and the major steps you will take to move the organization in that direction. Simply put, it is the process of determining where the organization is going over coming years, how you're going to get there, and how you will know when you've succeeded. The result of a BMR strategic planning process is clarity about vision and priorities. We first help you translate your broad goals into specific, measurable objectives that define achievement of the goal. We then help you translate the measurable objectives into specific strategies for action by identifying barriers and critical success factors. During these two days away from the office, WIS facilitates a series of conversations where the team comes face-to-face with strategic planning issues affecting the present and future condition of their business. During the BMR session the team co-creates and aligns around its vision, mission, and values as well as its annual objectives, strategies and action plans. In this BMR forum, the group members are able to comment freely and honestly, while giving a structured thought process to keep the discussion focused. Participants have a say on all topics, regardless of their functional area of expertise. Providing an outcome whereas individuals are encouraged to think strategically by considering all focus areas, not just their own. So what is strategic planning? Everyone has heard the term ---but what exactly does it mean? Strategic planning is a disciplined process for making decisions and taking actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it wishes to do, and how it intends to do it. When properly implemented, BMR strategic planning is a results and outcome oriented process. Some of the advantages of BMR strategic planning are as follows: **Present a clear corporate alignment. **Stimulate forward thinking. **Create a shared understanding about what the organization is trying to achieve and how it will go about achieving it. **Increase productivity. **Enable the organization to influence rather than be influenced.

Peopleware: Leading-Edge Management Apps that Work!

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 10:38:56 CDT

Communication can make or break a project team. This includes communication among team members as well as communication between the project manager and the rest of the team. Communication may come in many different forms and cause problems within the team (e.g., failure to deal with problems). Failure to deal with a problem employee is still the most common complaint that team members have about their leaders. Failure to deal with a problem employee can undermine the morale and motivation of the rest of the team and its members. Have you ever been mismanaged? 95% of WIS seminar participants said they were mismanaged but they did not discuss it with the person who was managing them. Are you ready to discover how your managers are viewed by their direct reports and learn to bring out the best level of productivity and performance from your staff? This leading-edge transformation will be facilitated by Whit Mitchell of Working InSync who has demonstrated that his processes and methods have helped hundreds of clients to create more open and honest relationships leading to greater impact and influence in their communication channels throughout their businesses. The workshop is based on the DISC Behavioral Profile, an assessment tool that heightens awareness of one's own behaviors and those of others. DISC has been used by General Mills, Kraft, Northwest Airlines, Reynolds & Reynolds, Tandy Corp., Toyota, Trane, TD Industries, Frymire Engineering, and many others. Every participant will get the opportunity to complete an online DISC profile (prior to the workshop) to assess their Project Management style. Each DISC Profile assessment provides clients with a 26-page profile that includes a detailed and personalized report of a clients individual behavioral style. It also includes background on the DISC Model and descriptions of other common behavioral styles. In turn, this interactive workshop will raise awareness for how to recognize others styles. This information can be utilized to engage teams and improve your communication with all levels of management. Client Testimonial - Transforming Under-Performing Companies into High Performance Operations: Conflict: Our people are smart, but their project management and poor interpersonal skills often result in projects being late, over budget and short of client expectations. Is there any way to create a culture of accountability and commitment with a group of independent professionals? Technology (Global High Tech Firm) Resolution -We were 100% over budget in money and time. We asked Working InSync to get us back on track and the project was completed in 90 days. WOW! Conflict: The larger we have grown, the more waste and rework we do. I know this is costing our bottom line and I keep attacking the problem.
