Be More Engaged

Being World Class

PWSHRM

Your level of engagement depends on what?

PWSHRM

I believe…

Do I have to “ check anything at the door” before I enter my workplace?

How does my manager treat me?Does my organization/employer supports me

(invest in me)?Mission of my organization speak to me?

(newest generation especially)Is the organization diverse (healthy)?Is my work interesting and dynamic?

What is behind being World Class

Conflict is confrontedMission focusedCore Values are lived and breathed everyday

(and not ignored)Employees are engaged – more effective, more

productive (people can’t wait to come to work)Trust is high (among all parties, stakeholders)

PWSHRM

Did you mention Trust?Do you trust your management?Do you trust your leadership?Do you trust your boss?Do you trust your peers?Do your trust your subordinates?Do your customers/client trust your

organization?Without trust – there is no way you or

your organization can be World Class?

Trust Defined“Trust means confidence. The opposite of trust is suspicion.

When you trust people, you have confidence in them – in their integrity, and in their abilities.

When you distrust people, you are suspicious of them – of their integrity, their agenda, their capabilities or their track record.” S.M.R. Covey

“It is behind, and at the root, at the center of all of my work. Harassment – bias, prejudice, favoritism, disrespect, poor treatment, discrimination, etc.” M.V.

PWSHRM

Trust & Being World Class – Go Hand in Hand

Stephen M. R. Covey – in his book: The Speed of Trust talks about Trust - Taxes and Dividends

When there is high trust – there is an actual dividend for this trust – tasks, work, progress, cooperation, collaboration - success is easier

When there is low or nonexistent trust – there is an actual tax – tasks, work, is harder, indifference, bogged down, sabotage

I highly recommend you read this book for your community, for your kids, for your families and jobs, of course…

PWSHRM

S.M.R. Covey says….“The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore

trust with all stakeholders – customers/clients, business partners, coworkers – is the key leadership competency of the new global economy.”

“Leadership is getting results in a way that inspires trust.”

In your every action – do you inspire trust, are you leading by example?

USA TODAY

From Don’t Quote Me

“One of the most important tasks of a manager is to eliminate his people’s excuses for failure.”

Businessman Robert Townsend talks about management.

PWSHRM

In Closing….Ultimately it comes down to this one point

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY – we all have a shared responsibility, a responsibility to each other, to hold each other accountable and to Saw Creek Estates to be the best we can be.

Say to each other - “I can’t be successful without you. We are all in this together!”
