Turnover Tsunami ahead - Are you ready?
SHRM just reported that more than 50% of employees intend to look for a new job this year. Two key reasons for this pent-up turnover demand... disengagement & burnout.
Want to ensure you keep your best resources? Based on my 25+ years of experience working with hundreds of leaders, I’d like to offer these specific actions... FireFly's 3 P's of Engagement and Empowerment:
Purpose
Aim for commitment, not just compliance. Have your team reflect on and celebrate what they accomplished in a very tough year. Make sure everyone clearly understands how their individual work supports the most critical priorities and goals of the team and the overall organization. Remember what Simon Sinek says about how great leaders inspire action by finding your "Why".
Passion
Recognize the unique value of each person on the team. Help your team to discover the power of "creative abrasion" (i.e. different viewpoints rubbing against each other to create a more powerful outcome). I have found the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument to be the most helpful and validated assessment for teams to identify and capitalize on their diversity of thought. As Marcus Buckingham says, "Average managers play checkers, great managers play chess."
Productivity
I don't believe in the sustainability of "kum-bah-yah, walk on hot coals, trust fall kind of team building" events. Instead, I help leaders make a clear connection between building the strength of their team and delivering on key business results. We engage everyone in creatively solving the greatest challenges facing the team, using the Impact vs. Effort Grid to prioritize their brainstormed ideas and develop their team action plan.
