Seth Godin: (re)Radical aka (re) Imagine

"Does this place exist to maintain and perpetuate the status quo, or am I here to do the work that the radical founder had in mind when we started?"

Good Morning Folks,

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend - especially after an awesome week at FSO! 

We had the second CHO Club last week - which was just amazing!!  (and we have the pictures to prove it)!

I along with the entire ELT LOVE nothing more than celebrating YOU, our valued employees! 

Our company is growing and nothing is going to stop us. We are too strong. Focused. Passionate and committed to making FSO the number one on site outsourcing company on the planet. 

The quest for growth is always powered by a thirst for change. Seth Godin, one of  marketing's brightest minds put it this way in a blog post this weekend:

(re)Radical  <aka (re) Imagine>
At the congregation down the street, they're doing things the way they've done them for the last few hundred years. Every week, people come, attracted by familiarity, by the family and friends around them, part of a tribe.

And just past that building is another one, a different tribe, where the tradition is more than a thousand years old. 

This is not so different from that big company that used to be an internet startup, but all the original team members have long left the building. Work tomorrow has a lot in common with work yesterday, and the safety of it all is comforting. 

Che, Jefferson, Edison, Ford... most of these radicals would not recognize the institutions that have been built over time. 

The question each of us has to answer about the institution we care about is: Does this place exist to maintain and perpetuate the status quo, or am I here to do the work that the radical founder had in mind when we started? 

First principles. The quest for growth, or for change, or for justice. The ability, perhaps the desire, to seek out things that feel risky. 

All of us are part of organizations that were started by outliers, by radicals, by people who cared more about making a difference than fitting in.

Bravo to all those who won the invite to attend and to everyone else - the next one is 2 June 2015 - I want to see YOU there! Demonstrate the FSO skip, fire, twinkle...WOW! your client...be an awesome teammate....and you can win an invite!! 

This is yet another step in making FSO the company we want to be. To be the happiest place to work and one of Americas greatest companies to work for. 

Rock the week,

Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer

Love Springs Eternal at FSO (and did we remind you WE'RE HIRING?)

"If you have an idea, share your idea! Look to grow with the company! Do not be afraid to take the leaps necessary to help this organization grow—it will in turn help you grow as well."

Good Morning Folks,

I hope you had a great great holiday weekend. What a beautiful spring weekend :)

Lots of great things are happening as we welcome the longer and warmer days of spring into FSO. 

We have worked together to build great momentum and are on the way to bigger and better things. Better infrastructure leading to better results, client satisfaction and more business opportunities. This all happened because of you – because each one of you care deeply about FSO and our customers.  Your professionalism, dedication and commitment are an inspiration to me and I have shared this feedback with many of you, both at HQ and in the field.

The most important thing about our business is our people (YOU). We believe the winning recipe to ensure that our clients are WOW!ed and love FSO, is to hire brilliant people, train & empower them, and recognize & reward them. And, last week was a great example of our commitment to this! We re-launched the monthly CHO Club (and it was an awesome event) and will have our first MIT management training session this Tuesday that will be led by Me! My sincerest congratulations and THANK YOU to everyone who was recognized....we are counting on our employees and YOU made a difference! Great job.

I am a strong believer in the power of positive energy. I have seen both in my personal and professional life that you can achieve great success and overcome adversity by finding positive aspect in every situation. As we head into the week, I ask each of you to take a moment to self reflect. Does your team know about all of the GREAT things that are happening at FSO? Do they know about all of the opportunities that are available for them to feel how valued they are to me and the entire ELT? Are you taking the time to talk and listen to your team? Are you training your team? Are you making it PERSONAL? Are you sharing this feedback with your director, the PSTeam, the ELT? 

We are here for you...you have tons of support. Strong communications team - this is the key to our success!  FSO is a company that is all about coming up with the best possible solution to best support our clients. If you have an idea, share your idea! Look to grow with the company! Do not be afraid to take the leaps necessary to help this organization grow—it will in turn help you grow as well.
