Jason Lauritsen on Employee Performance: What you've experienced is a production style of management that was born out of the Industrial Revolution in an era where we were taking people off the farm, putting them in factories to basically do jobs that were better suited for machines, but we didn't have the technology to build those machines yet. So we had to get people to behave like those machines. We're still stuck where we think of people and treat people like machines to be optimized, to be tweaked. The problem is, that doesn't work for human performance. Managers aren't managing machines. They are managing these growing, developing, imperfect human beings who have needs and are facing obstacles and really want to be successful. And if they're not, then that means there's something going on that you need to solve for them or help them with. And when you get that shift made, things start to change. Highlights: [2:03] Can annual reviews actually be harmful to an employer? [6:27] Unintended consequences of tying annual reviews to compensation [7:16] Annual review horror stories [9:04] Changing your employee performance appraisal process [16:15] Putting managers in a better position to help employees learn and grow [21:52] Beginning of the year conversations [25:38] Deficit conversations [34:17] Feedback strategies to help employees succeed [41:35] “The perfect end-of-year conversation” and merit/bonus conversations [49:09] How much of an effect does hybrid work have on company culture? Guest Bio Jason Lauritsen is an author, a keynote speaker, and a leader trainer, and has been named a Top 100 HR Tech Influencer by HR Executive Magazine, a Top 100 HR Influencer by Engagedly, and a Top 100 Global Employee Engagement and Experience Influencer by Inspiring Workplaces.

Odcinek 12 „Wpływ zaangażowania na kreowanie zespołowości” podcastu Z Warsztatu Lidera to rozmowa z Wojciechem „Werym” Wereszko, byłym oficerem jednostki GROM i Formozy z 22 letnim stażem służby. To dowódca polskiego kontyngentu wojskowego w Zatoce Perskiej, uczestnik misji ISAF w Afganistanie.W tym podcaście Wojciech dzieli się swoim doświadczeniem zdobytym w jednostce specjalnej GROM, a także odpowiada na pytanie „Jak budować zaangażowanie w zespole na poziomie, który umożliwia realizację najtrudniejszych misji i projektów?”. Podczas rozmowy dowiadujemy się, czy zaangażowanie jest ważniejsze od talentu, co motywuje operatorów oraz po co nam w organizacjach zaangażowani pracownicy jeśli część z nich ma „tylko” wykonywać  rozkazy?Kluczowym elementem każdego zespołu jest jego poziom zaangażowania w powierzone zadania. Nie jest możliwym, aby wykonywać swoją pracę efektywnie bez bycia zaangażowanym w to, co się robi. Wysoki poziom woli i energii to niezwykle ważne elementy składającej się na dobrze wykonane zadania. Należy również pamiętać, że zarówno życie codzienne, jak i praca są ze sobą to naczynia połączone, dlatego tak ważne jest, aby na każdym etapie naszego działania przejawiać wiarygodność w tym, co się robi. Wojciech opowiada, że będąc przez wiele lat w służbie nauczył się, że można wiele mówić na temat zaangażowania, jednak jego najprostszym miernikiem jest głęboko wbudowana kreatywność. Należy zatem pamiętać, że oprócz podstawowych obowiązków, jakie do nas należą, warto poszukiwać nowych dróg i rozwiązań. I nigdy nie należy się zatrzymywać w swoich działaniach. Jak widać zaangażowanie to bardzo ważna składowa, która decyduje o efektywności zespołu.Pytania:Czym jest zaangażowanie i co ma na nie największy wpływ?Jak budować determinację i motywację do osiągania celów?Co motywuje ludzi w zespole?Czym jest wiarygodność lidera, w jaki sposób ją budować?Strona www odcinka: https://leadersisland.com/podcast-menedzera-lidera/wplyw-zaangazowania-na-kreowanie-zespolowosci/Link youtube: https://youtu.be/M_ktz8XHEcgStrony, osoby i tematy wymienione w odcinku:- Profil LinkedIn Wojtka „Wery” Wereszkohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wojciech-wereszko/- Poprzedni odcinek z cyklu: ZWM 005 Ekstremalnie skuteczne zespoły projektowehttps://leadersisland.com/zwm/zwm-005-ekstremalnie-skuteczne-zespoly-projektowe/- Kwestionariusz UWEShttps://www.wilmarschaufeli.nl/downloads/- Badanie poziomu zaangażowania na bazie: Gallup Q12 EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Surveyhttps://q12.gallup.com/public/en-us/Features- Raport – Trends in Global Employee Engagementhttp://www.aon.com/2018-global-employee-engagement-trends/index.html

Louis Efron is the author of Purpose Meets Execution: How Winning Organizations Accelerate Engagement and Drive Profits, and How to Find a Job, Career and Life You Love, and also a contributing writer for Forbes and Huffington Post.The discussion starts with Louis’s journey through theater, the corporate world, and how he came to see big disconnects between personal purpose and corporate purpose. Louis created a Purpose Alignment Score to help individuals discover their personal purpose alignment in life by asking questions about themselves (http://LouisEfron.com) .   Key Takeaways   [3:42] In Purpose Meets Execution, Louis writes that businesses need to rethink the fundamental drivers for success. Most employees do not see the P&L statement and they have other drivers. Employees are motivated by the purpose of the business beyond the P&L.   [7:07] It takes a leap of faith to change. There is a fear in focusing on something other than P&L. But studies show that having purpose gives a greater ROI than profit alone, and new generations of workers will search for jobs that embody purpose and mission.   [9:39] Tesla Motors created a role for Louis of Head of Global Employee Engagement and Louis held it for a year or two. Six years ago, Tesla had 600 employees; now they have over 30,000 in an organization that prizes purpose. The job was a catalyst for Louis’s thinking.   [11:27] Culture and mission start at the top. If the top is broken, the whole organization is broken. In a large organization, with a clear purpose, you have to make sure that everyone at every level is executing their daily work and seeing how it connects to the same purpose. [14:33] Living for years in Europe and Japan, Louis learned that there are cultural differences in different nations. In a big, global organization the goal is always to be the same, where possible; different, where needed. You have to learn how to leverage cultural nuances to deliver what you want to deliver. There’s a lack of understanding how people see things differently in different parts of the world. [24:37] Louis has a video, “The Disengaged Clown,” on his site. Louis wrote it, directed it, and acted in it. It is about a party clown who finds clowning is not his calling in life. The moral is to find your strength. Our stories influence our behavior, culture, and environment. Louis compares directing a stage production to leading a corporate organization. [29:04] If you get people connected to your organization to believe in what you believe (not to think the same as you, but to accept your purpose), that’s going to play out to your customer. It helps you sell more authentically. It is a bridge between the personal and the corporate.   [32:14] A culture of trust eliminates fear. People challenge, and contribute new ideas. They know if they fail, and learn from it, they can bring about better ways. A culture of fear stifles innovation and it all falls apart.   LinkedIn: Louis Efron Twitter: @LouisEfron Website: LouisEfron.com Website: PurposeMeetsExecution.com Search for Louis on Forbes and Huffington Post   Quotable Quotes   “Employees don’t get out of bed in the morning to … add $10 million to a top line.”   “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.“ — Wayne Dyer   “In a big, global organization the goal is always to be ‘same,’ where possible; different, where needed.”   You are responsible for your own curiosity.   “A great culture is built on trust.”   “As a leader, you need to both say the right things and do the right things but doing the right things matters much more.”   If you’re talking a lot about trust in your organization, it probably doesn’t exist there.   “The more you can be yourself in life, the more successful you’ll be.”   “Great leaders believe in who they are. They’re authentic, they communicate in an authentic way, and they live what they’re saying.”   When you have trust, it eliminates fear. People are willing to challenge, bring new ideas, fail and learn from it, to create new ideas.   Bio   Louis Efron is the author of How to Find a Job, Career and Life You Love and Purpose Meets Execution: How Winning Organizations Accelerate Engagement and Drive Profits, a contributing writer for Forbes and Huffington Post.   Books mentioned in this episode   How to Find a Job, Career and Life You Love: A journey to purpose, fulfillment and life happiness, by Louis Efron Purpose Meets Execution: How Winning Organizations Accelerate Engagement and Drive Profits, by Louis Efron (Also available at Barnes & Noble) Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, by Simon Sinek The Experience Economy, by B.
