How do you handle an employee complaint about equipment, processes, policies, etc? Many organizations have a “suggestion box” program. But often times the ideas don’t go anywhere. What does this do to employee engagement?
What if you had a defined process for creating change that could be initiated by anyone, even the newest employee, in such a way that ideas are properly vetted and and also properly rolled out to ensure success? Many employees just want to know they’re heard and their ideas are considered fairly. In addition, if they can be taught the right way to introduce organizational change, you’ve now given them a skill the can use in their jobs now, in the future, and in their world outside of work.
Listen as Ari Weinzweig and I talk about the basics of Bottom Line Change.
Tell me about how you introduce change at your organization in the comments in the comments at the blog.

It’s the day after Xmas and all through the office, not a creature is stirring, not even a boss…
Anyway, I’m not going to rewrite the entire story to fit my podcast, but I did wan to take this Tuesday, following Christmas and the next, following New Years to reflect and look forward.
This week, I’m thinking about mindfulness and your team. In the context of culture and work: mindfulness basically means that you look inward and with intention bring your best self to your work and interactions.

How your organization interviews and recruits has a direct impact on your culture and also future engagement. Here are a few things that stood out to Ron while he interviewed with Zingerman’s:
Paul and Ari were involved and knew their businesses deeply.
They were around the business a lot.
They interviewed in the business and not in some off-site locations or behind closed doors (i.e. very open).
They were fun loving and humorous and didn’t take themselves too seriously.
How they were open and honest during the negotiations.
