Discovery Systems

Last week we focused on placing the Guidance Systems in place for future growth.  Hopefully you invested some time to either create your own Purpose and core values for the organization or have made the commitment to get that in place for 2024.  If your organization is already living to a Purpose and Core Values, then it is a good time to raise awareness and how it touches every aspect of your future success. Today we move into looking at the Promise Culture Compass that focuses on Discovery or Exploration Systems.

Imagination

Walt Disney once said – “Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.” We can all have the pleasure of a vivid imagination if we give ourselves permission to look beyond what is to what can be.

Motivation

Our culture has many things which individuals believe are motivating. Motivation is not an external thing but an internal worth. Things come and go with the fads of the time, but internal self-worth is a lifetime of value and drive. It will raise you up to challenge your greatest fears and allow you to celebrate your successes.

This is a time for all of us to pause and understand that learning is not limited to certain months of a year or certain years of our lives.

Taking the right amount of speed into the next level of success

If you have ever been in the situation where you are on the expressway and the road takes a rather defined sharper turn (mileage signs indicating to slow down) and you attempt to stay at the previous speed, you now must take corrective actions or potentially pay the price of an accident or worse.  I know I have been there more than once and…

Are you building up or tearing down

In a conversation with a colleague the other day we started to reminisce about how the work world was such a different place than when we started several years ago. At that time in the 70’s and 80’s the competition was outrageously fierce for each and every role we were seeking out.  The criterion almost seemed unfair to even be able to…

Starts with you

Our society has many opportunities to redirect an undesirable outcome to someone else rather quickly, even before the facts and truth are looked at completely. This movement of accountability to someone else for undesirable performance is just another way to get the attention off us and onto another so individually we can hide. Authentic accountability starts with each of us. Standing up and taking full responsibility for each and all of our actions even when they have contributed to a less than desirable outcome.
