Call to order at 7:30 May 28th
Opening activity: Writing of daily activities matched up with goals
- What did you do today to meet your five year goals?
Good News
What can organizations do to inspire their employee?
Accountability and responsibility make people invested
Accountability does not come from a manual book of rules
Inspiration different for guys and girls? Girls want to be known for talent- Boys want to be in charge
Feeling useful motivates people
Trusting employees- letting them know they are capable
“If you fail, we fail- If you succeed, we succeed”
*Suy Sports- Five times ratio: no one makes more than five times more than any other full-time employee- cutting people’s salaries means cutting your own
Positive environment
Good relationships
*Google- Hour and a half lunches, ect ect.
*New Belgium- employee owned
*Zappos- after three months of working, employees offered $1,000 to leave or $0 to stay, to weed out people who aren’t into the company
The difference between work and play
Productivity increases when work is playful
Every organization should have a position for a “question person” to follow up with employees
*Military- Large sense of mission, but relationships are key- Have “Center for Lessons Learned “
Asking questions – make people feel important, aware and curious
Re-cap
Tanks Discussion- Tanks has been lacking a human element- it needs to touch the heart and focus on peoples weaknesses and failures as well as successes. There needs to be time to check-up with the members on their weaknesses.
TED Video:
Collaboration and how it creates wealth for all.
- New forms of wealth: wiki, amazon, ebay, google
- Trust is a stronger motive than self-interest
- Open source
- Google takes what others have created and improved it => revenues from ads
- Urban revitalization => people’s want, different life style => fulfills social good
- Social corporate responsibility – organizations attractive to people. Consumers willing to pay higher prices
Ideas:
Can we be Futuristic in TANKS?
