Inspire ME Friday: Actor James Franco Worked His Way Up From a Mc Donald's Kitchen; We Have A Better Idea For You

The FASTEST growing on-site outsourcing company is ALWAYS looking for the BEST talent across the (re)IMAGINation, FSO|USA! 

Good Morning Folks,

Before stardom, James Franco was just a fast-food employee eating fries straight from the hopper. He was, as I was once, a member of the infamous "forgotten demographic" that I have dedicated my life to creating opportunities for.

This story by James Franco in the Washington Post is maybe the strangest op-ed I've ever read on the topic. It speaks to the current climate of employment in this country and the principles of hard work and passion.

"I dropped out of college and went to a hole-in-the-wall acting school in the Valley. My parents, who both had master’s degrees and valued education, told me I would have to support myself if I wasn’t enrolled in college. 

I didn’t have a car, so I tried to get a job at all the restaurants within walking distance of my post-dropout Valley apartment. (I shared it with two other aspiring actors and slept on the couch.) I had very little work experience. In high school, I was fired from a coffee shop for reading behind the counter and from a golf course for reading while driving the cart on the driving range. All the waiter jobs were taken by more experienced actor/waiters. 

Someone asked me if I was too good to work at McDonald’s. Because I was following my acting dream despite all the pressure not to, I was definitely not too good to work at McDonald’s. I went to the nearest Mickey D’s and was hired the same day. 

I was given the late shift drive-thru position. I wore a purple visor and purple polo shirt and took orders over a headset. I refrained from reading on the job, but soon started putting on fake accents with the customers to practice for my scenes in acting class."  Continued.... 

You don't have to work at Mc Donald's to get your jump start in life. Perhaps you will consider a position here, where I promise anyone who really wants it, and works hard to get it, can have a career, with my company and not just a dead end job. 

Most of our managers at sites, regions and corporate are proof: They started with one of these jobs advertised below and many worked their way up rapidly taking advantage of our legendary training and future leaders programs that you can read more about here.

All about Hospitality? High level Customer Service? Positive Energy and have a GREAT SMILE? We want to walk to you! We are a National Professional Services Provider and have many on-site outsourcing positions available. Records Associate in NJ + Lobby Ambassadors in NY + and many many more throughout the country.

Inspire ME Friday: Motivating Our Best Employees

"Change is good. You go first."

Knowing how to motivate your employees will allow you to build a team that is as passionate about success as you are. 

Good Friday Folks,

Dave Lavinsky is on fire again in the GrowThink Newsletter with a spot-on piece about motivating employees. He writes:

Entrepreneurs must have many skills. They must be able to spot opportunities. They must be able to create plans to seize those opportunities. And they must execute on those plans.

And, for most opportunities, and clearly for those opportunities that are really big, execution involves hiring and managing employees. Because no single entrepreneur can do everything themselves.

But you just can't have any employees. Companies that succeed have employees that are highly motivated.

So how do you ensure that your employees are motivated to succeed?

Clearly, giving them fair salaries helps. And clearly, stock options that allow employees to benefit when the company benefits are good practice.

But, there is an even better way. In fact, authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton in their book, The Carrot Principle, found a better way.

Where did they come up with this better way? Well, they conducted a study involving 200,000 people over a ten-year period.

Importantly, their study showed that the key characteristic of the most successful entrepreneurial managers is that they provide their employees with frequent and effective recognition.

That's right, significantly better business results were realized when managers offered recognition in the form of constructive praise and meaningful rewards (typically non-monetary).

The authors found that recognition is most effective when it is:

==> Positive (don't mention any negatives when giving praise)
==> Immediate (comes soon after the job well done)
==> Close (presented to employee(s) with their peers in attendance)
==> Specific (precisely recognizes why the task/job they performed merited recognition)
==> Shared (allows employee's peers to also comment during the recognition presentation)

Carrots are needed to motivate employees. But what I found most interesting about the author's findings was that recognition is more effective than monetary rewards. This is a critical finding for all managers, and particularly entrepreneurial managers who typically operate in cash-restrained environments.

Knowing how to motivate your employees will allow you to build a team that is as passionate about success as you are. And this will ultimately lead to your company achieving its goals. So, while it may not seem like a mission-critical focus today, it's definitely worth your time and effort. So don't delay...

Don't forget to checkout 4 Ways of Choosing Happiness from Within... and have a great weekend and enjoy a long awaited taste of spring.

Love Life!

Inspire ME Friday: Dee's Shining Moment

"Very inspiring message. I’ve had the pleasure of working with you for over ten years and I know I speak for myself and many, many others; we are incredibly proud of you and love watching your continued success! You are proof that referrals positively impact our company everyday."

Good Morning Folks,

Every Friday I share an internal communique from one of our esteemed employees. Last week Michael, currently a Business Operations Manager and the newly elected President of our Future Leaders Program had the microphone and blew us away. 

Today I introduce you to the "Joe Biden" of the Future Leaders Program, Demetrius, who is the proud Business Operations Manager at Young and Rubicam. And now direct from the heart and mind of the recently appointed Vice President of the Future Leaders Program, I turn it over to you, "Dee" .....

I write to you all today about leadership, and a few lessons that I carry with me daily. As a leader you must have self-confidence. You must know when to listen, when to talk and how to make quick decisions that will better the employee and client experience. There are different styles of leadership and you have to find the one that is right for you. The important thing is to be yourself and be comfortable leading. You have to be authentic in the way you engage with other people and the way you use your authority. People must learn to trust you. Understanding how you can have the most positive impact and influence on others is crucial. Most importantly, trust your instinct, and know you will always have support. 

I’m a big believer in the power of the subconscious to steer us to the right decisions. A good leader will put a lot of effort into building the right team around him or her. You need people you trust, who are on your side, who respectfully challenge you, who are honest with you, and whose judgment you respect. You need to be able to depend on their support when the going gets tough. This is how we pay it forward folks, it’s an ‘each one – teach one mentality’. It’s a differentiator and what makes us better that the rest (and trust me we ARE!).  

The FLP was established with the sole purpose of spotting talent and identifying those who have “it”.  The FLP is something that’s near and dear to my heart, and I thank Mitch for believing in and supporting this program as the great leader he is for all of us.  It is the very same program that put me in the position I’m in today. I was able to meet some amazing people and also acquire great skills in the process- I cannot wait to continue on growing and developing into a better leader every day. The (re) imagined FLP will be unmatched in our industry. As Shawn mentioned at our first Board meeting, this is our “shining moment."

Do you have “it”?  We believe you do!  It won’t easy and it will take lots of hard work and dedication. But, if you’re able to push through – you too can become like that kid from Queens who dreamt big, but achieved bigger. :) 

Adds a colleague, "You were one of the first people I met when I joined FSO in 2013. You took me around Y&R, told me about the transformations not only at Y&R, but your own transformations.. The growth you experienced at FSO- from 'humble' beginnings to your current status.  You're living proof that the FLP works for those who crave growth, and your message is proof that you possess the qualities of a strong leader."

Well, Dee, this is YOUR shinning moment. Demetrius continues to impress, shine and grow in his role with FSO. BRAVO SIR.. well done, well written and more. You are a credit to all the exciting programs, plans, actions and strategies taking place at FSO. We are grateful to have you.  

Have a great weekend and enjoy the first taste of spring whether admiring the Cherry Blossoms in DC or staring at the sidewalk to observe the last drop of snow melt and actually be smiling and happy to see litter and dirt again.

Love Life!

Inspire ME Friday: As The Snow Goes, March Comes In Like A Lion. Are You A Lion?

"An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat 

an army of lions led by a sheep"

Good Morning Folks,

It's freezing in New York City, but sunny and beautiful. I think that's it for the snow. Yay. 
Every Friday I share an internal communique from one of our esteemed employees. Today Michael, currently a Business Operations Manager and the newly elected President of our Future Leaders Program has the microphone. Michael over to you...

Greetings from the office of the President! Your newly appointed FLP President that is. I can't express how honored I feel to have been elected as the President of the Future Leaders Program. I am so committed that I am planning to redesign my office into an oval, have two American Flags behind my desk and my staff now wears all black with sunglasses and earpieces at all times. Any chance I can get an intern?? Joking, totally joking. My staff doesn't wear black. 

In all seriousness, when I stared with FSO almost three years ago, I never could have imagined being given the opportunity to help lead this great company of ours forward by providing training and mentoring to 86 of our best and brightest. How cool is that? What other company cares enough about it's employees to create a program that will allow it's employees to grow and advance? If that isn't enough, the program will also perform community outreach. 

We will use our talents to not only help FSO grow, but to help others as well. There is a board of ten highly motivated, Personal, Passionate, and Productive FLP members, myself included, that are tasked with running this program and will ensure that this program, and it's participants are a success. There is so much talent involved, I can't wait to get started. We are going to sweep across FSO Nation like a winter storm. Too soon? 

Well, we can all take comfort in the fact that it is now March and spring is on it's way. They say March comes in like a lion, which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: 

"An army  of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lion led by a sheep" 

I have always believed that this means that a strong leader can make all of the difference. It elevates the significance of a leader and the impact he or she can have on a group. Are you a strong leader? Do you hold your daily huddles? Do you have the three P's? Do you own your client?   Start off March the right way and come in like a lion. Represent FSO with Confidence, Knowledge, Professionalism and Smiles and a Spark. Love your employees. Exceed your client's expectations.  Be fearless. As Franklin Roosevelt once said "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" 

Be One Team, One FSO Family. In the words of George W Bush, "We will not waver, we will not falter, we will not fail".

Mike you are terrific. MAZEL TOV. And bravo. Perfect President. 

Be safe out there today. Have fun. Have a great day and a great weekend and enjoy the extra hour of warmth and daylight on Sunday.

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer
