Are your employees only following their daily routine? Let's get them out of inertia!

I hear that with many of my clients: I feel like they are only ticking the box and they are waiting to be told what to do. It feels like we have a blame culture which is slowing things down. How can we change them and stop this complacency? How can I enable my people to be more proactive?

And why bother, I can simply do the job myself and delegate the important stuff to 'my guy'. The answer is productivity - productivity based on more action & results, and based on a more energetic & focused culture. Once we bring the people out of their inertia, then they will also be able to grow personally, master new skills and feel more confident and excited. Which impacts the productivity of the entire team and the people around them.

What does it take to enable this change? Ownership! We want to create an environment which allows the people to identify themselves with the overall objective and feel engaged to reach that with their best effort. They own their part of the business.

From my experience, here are the key ingredients to develop ownership:
  1. Provide a clear direction and purpose of where we want to go as an organisation; this needs to be motivating and inspiring.
  2. Focus on the future with trial & learning; this includes appreciating diversity, discovering each other's strength and asking the question: "what can I do differently? how can I help my team?"
  3. Balance the focus between business outcomes and the way of working; only with great relationships we can deliver great results.

The underlying topic is: becoming a High-performing Team! This is when a team can deliver excellence effortlessly. Everything falls in place and as a team we flow towards success.
