Those individuals who succeeded in growing familiesx all had their own
personal mastery, personal vision, and personal values funtioning on all
cylinders. They got where they were going because they wanted to get
there.
Taking the time to find out the mutual core values of the employees,
combining those with their ideas and direction of the organization's
vision and making real ties to pay attention to the employee's own desires
around personal mastery and making that count within the colmpany will go
along way toward they wanting the organization to 'get there' also.
In the work I do with volunteer organizations I have found that if we: can
touch our members' core values in the organization's underlying
principles; ensure members are a part of helping to establish the
organization's vision by paying attention to their personal vision for the
organization; and, connect our work and their personal growth----- we end
up with a powerfully motivated work group. When we take the time do do the
above, our ROI is a powerful commitment on the part of the members of the
organization.
