Guide your organization to a "Championship Season"

The needs of an organization often do not match the needs of the human beings who work within the organization. Leaders today are faced with how to appropriately blend these seemingly opposite needs. We have found that organizations produce routine, rational, planned, logical, highly predictable and low-delayed events. However, this is not true of why human beings work in an organization. Human beings have different and very important personal needs.

This series of 4 (90-Minute) videotapes explain how management can align organizational needs with human needs to work towards a common purpose -- a "Championship Season."

How to Make Every Day at Work a Good One

Ever notice how some people always seem to be having a good day? Even when something stands in their way, they handle it with confidence and poise. So what's their secret? More than likely, these people are just like the rest of us. However, their approach to everyday work life may differ.

Incorporating the following three strategies into your routine may be all you need to do to hit the ground running each and every day.

1. Keep the glass half full. Plain and simple, if you always expect things to go wrong, they will. Remain optimistic by focusing on your goals. Keep moving toward them without allowing negativity and doubts rule your day.

2. Pay attention to your feelings. While you may be at work, there's no need to check your feelings at the door. If you're feeling upset or frustrated, acknowledge those feelings" if you keep them bottled up, you'll end up losing control. Once you've identified your feelings, find an appropriate way to express them" jot them down in a journal, talk to a friend, or maybe take a quick walk and let your thoughts wander.

3. Always strive for self-awareness. For example, when you get angry, ask yourself why you are angry. Is really about the situation at hand, or does it have more to do with your history, background or personality? Be honest with yourself. You may be blaming the workplace for something that really stems from a personal situation/circumstance.
