❌ Connect the work to the human being ✅ Connect the human being to the work 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵! 𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘴? For starters, we’re saying that when you prioritize each individual team member - their core values, their short-term and long-term goals, their worries and their hopes - you connect them to the work.  What follows? This team member is empowered to engage in the 100% unique ways only they can, since they’ve been seen, heard, and valued as their whole person, not just as an employee. If you start with the work and connect it to the individual team member, those 100% unique ways only they can engage get lost in the sauce, as we like to say.  What follows? Good work, but more generic work that lacks connection and passion behind it. In today’s episode, Erin will give you the how-to for monthly intention-setting, the benefits you’ll see once you implement this with your team, and some laughs along the way.  Press play now!   Show Links:
