Strategic Statement of Values – Gaining Employee Engagement
Posted by Douglas A Wick on Thu, Jul 25, 2013
Organizational direction in your company can come in several forms. I’m going to divide them into the emotional and objective since they serve two different but critical purposes. On the emotional side we look at what might be labeled as “Strategic Statement of Values.” On the opposite side, the objective is the Strategic Objective Statement which produces the Strategy Statement we’ve discussed in previous blogs.

How Deep Do You Dig in Your Annual Planning – PHX Growth Summit
Posted by Douglas A Wick on Wed, Nov 16, 2011
Right now you should be deep into your annual planning or already have completed it. In preparing our coaching clients for annual planning we always ask the company to complete a short five question employee survey to gather information. Questions include what the company should start, stop and keep doing. (Send me an email Employee Survey if you’d like these five questions.) Discovery like this is important for the business in looking ahead. Remember the movie “Titanic?” “Iceberg dead ahead?” Many times the people at the tactical level of our business know much more than we give them credit for, and frequently they see the obstacles, challenges and opportunities far better than we or our mangers and departments heads can.
