Do You REALLY Want to Improve Morale?

This is the 2nd post about the gems that I learned from the MI Lean Consortium Conference.
The information for this post comes from an incredible LEAN leader and author, Jamie Flinchbaugh.
Employee engagement helps reduce conflict in the workplace…only when programs are put in place after a lot of planning with the entire team.

Employee Engagement Works When…

• Everyone buys into the program, not just the leader or a few people

• Leaders become teachers and walk their talk

• Problems with the program are dealt with immediately

3 Important Ideas That Impact Change

• Behavior is how we act

• Action is what we do

• Results are what we get

Build Tension with Change…NOT Stress

• What is the current reality?

• What is the vision of the ideal state?

The gap creates tension.  This will help the team forward.  Now discuss what changes need to be made
to get the results that you ALL want.

How to Build Positive Tension

• Eliminate fear

• Eliminate comfort

• Make sure that there is space for learning and making mistakes

 Joyce’s Opinion on Successful Employee Engagement

Respect is NOT about being nice

“Be Direct with Respect ” is our company trademark that has changed the environment for my clients.
The idea is to give your opinion to anyone in a respectful way.
It takes practice to learn communication skills that work!
The GAP is where people learn new behavior for themselves and others.
