Good Morning Folks,
Here we go.. MONDAY, kicking off lots of exciting travel over the next two weeks. I pumped to get out there and see you all.
As we head into a new week remember that everything we want to achieve is in our grasp! Everything we dream about can happen. We just have to have the conviction to go get it. We have to have the heart to make it happen and the desire to put forth the effort.
As you can (re)Imagine, we are in a state of change. FSO is growing and is now truly national with offices, sites and teams all across the country. That means that we must approach the world a little differently, think outside our comfort zone and realize we are only beginning a long journey to maintain and spread the FSO greatness.
That in mind, today I'd like to share some thoughts from Dr. Levy:
==> Is conflict good or bad??? Most people and companies try to avoid conflict, but addressing and resolving conflict can be advantageous. It can lead to teamwork, the stimulation of new ideas, and an environment in which people are encouraged to think freely and creatively. The key is that conflict be addressed in a positive and constructive manner with the goal of improving and strengthening the company. It can't be about winning, rather about the team growing and winning together.
==> What are some of the keys to an effective Performance Evaluation System??? They should be done on a regular basis; there should not be surprises; feedback should be provided on a consistent basis; feedback should be honest, direct, constructive, and positive. This is particular important with younger employees. The millennials are accustomed to a world of quick feedback. There is little patience nor tolerance for delayed gratification, so a company that employs many millennials must be prepared to have a culture of frequent and positive feedback.I am excited because I know that FSO is better. I have seen competitive sites, FSO sites and in house sites in the past week and we are the best! If we get in front of decision makers we will win. If we lose it is probably because we missed something.
We are the right people at the right time to make something great. We have only just started.
Have a great day, INSPIRE YOUR TEAMS, and make a difference..
IT IS YOU that makes FSO who we are. Love Life!
