Building a Talent-Centric Organization
Are you changing as fast as the world around us? Talent drives success, but the talent practices many governments use are vestiges of another era. They were designed for predictable environments, traditional ways of getting work done, and organizations where lines and boxes defined how people were managed. Modern leaders recognize that talent selection decisions are an increasingly important determinant of organizational performance and success. Those organizations that attract and retain the right kind of talent and treat it, reward it, develop it, and deploy it correctly, perform better than those that simply fill jobs with people. Read on to learn the five elements of a Talent Formula that will ensure you have a motivated engaged knowledgeable workforce.

WHICH FACTOR HAS THE 
MOST INFLUENCE?
    TRANSFORM YOUR WORKPLA CE CULTURE
At an upcoming staff meeting or discussion with colleagues, use the device I developed that includes the eight factors which influence employee performance and discuss which of the eight is the most influential. Remember, everyone owns their own Attitude. Just like everyone ultimately owns his/her own morale. How about the role of Mission, Vision and Values - are they providing employees a basis for what the organization is trying to accomplish? Are they steering people toward success? The quality of leadership and supervision are critical to employee performance. Are leaders and managers credible? Go ahead and enjoy a great discussion!



Is your workplace organization, culture, and its workforce members changing as fast as the world around us?  Without a doubt, a modern workplace culture is essential to organizational success.  During these times of unprecedented and disruptive change, leaders at all levels of government must improve their ability to manage a perplexing paradox - how to stay focused on today's business while building tomorrow's. Leaders must be vigilant and disrupt the fossilized mental model of "we've always done it that way" and replace it with a modern approach to continuous improvement and be intentional about cultivating the six dimensions of a healthy workplace culture. Recently, we began partnering with the cities of Reno (NV) and Sunnyvale (CA) in accelerating their journey from the prevailing to the preferred workplace culture.

I'VE BEEN WRITING AGAIN... DRIVERS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE: PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ROCK STARS 
NEWS YOU CAN USE
Make no mistake about it, your "rock stars" are self-starters, highly motivated, and serve as the primary drivers of your organization's success and will definitely benefit from more positive attention and support. I suggest these are the employees you want to immediately conduct stay/retention interviews with and ask them one simple question: What can we do to help you achieve your potential? High performers want and expect more than to simply complete the tasks that make up their job descriptions. They see their work responsibilities not merely as a job but as a role.
