The cool thing about doing a sabbatical is that it isn't just for the person to get getting time off, but it's for everyone around them who has to fill in. When you look taking a sabbatical and we decided to put one forward where people of a certain point in the organization get one month off - paid at some point in time, they become available. Sabbaticals become available every five years. They’re based on seniority. So when I institute this, we took our most senior people and we limited them to two. We said two people can go every year. What you find out, is other people get to step up. People who are in sort of subordinate positions have to step up into the leadership position to take on some of those tasks for a month. You begin thinking a little bit differently about what you do as an organization. Most importantly, you give leadership lessons and on the job training to people who are your future leaders in the organization. I can tell you after doing this for six years we have seen some people graduate into those roles because they show themselves to be more than ready to take on some responsibilities that we hadn't been asking them to do. I've not heard one complaint so far. You hear people talking years out what they're going to do, and I think it's become something that helps us provide a little bit more people to get them to be happier in their work. As organizations, we don't have unlimited resources. We have to try to find those ways in which you could fill that pot with as much good stuff as you can often make up for a salary request. We’re trying to fill that place to really walk the walk, not just talk the talk about what makes us a good organization to work for. This is something we feel really firm about.

PureReinvention Podcast Episode 028 Dan Gilmartin, executive director and CEO of the Michigan Municipal League, talks to Mike Bills about how the City of Detroit is creating a new, better reality and how organizations can do the same.   QUOTE IT: “When it comes to innovation...we have a tendency to innovate when we’re in crisis, and we innovate at the edges of our own competencies.” (2:25) “Detroit is beginning to embrace its grittiness, and embrace the fact that it is kind of the ultimate DIY city right now.” (10:25) “Not everyone has to get into a Detroit situation before they change.” (11:43)   DIG IN:   At 11:10 Mike asks Dan how association leaders can give people permission to innovate and he offers some really good advice. Listen in at 17:20 as Dan tells people visiting Detroit to “find the energy” and highlights some of the compelling grassroots movements that are happening in the city.   TAKEAWAYS: 1 - Detroit is more of a organic bottom up example of reinvention, not process and top down approach.  This process is wholly transferable to other communities. 2  - Detroit’s struggle with changing times may be more public than others, but it is not unique. Many individuals and organizations are in the same spot and need to rally together to embrace the new. 3 - A crisis isn’t the only time to be seeking change. It’s okay to create a little chaos in the face of stability. 4 - Employees have to share the vision and own their part of it if in order to be successful. 5 - When you move out of your comfort zone and into different spaces, you think differently and bring something new to the table.
