Diagnosing Workplace Illnesses: download diagnosingworkplaceillness.pdf Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change A Medical Model Approach: Without a diagnosis, there's not much of a basis for an effective treatment plan. The same holds true with organizations that are not maximizing their energies. They may be suffering from an unhealthy culture. Or perhaps budget crunches have them running anorexic instead of just plain "lean and mean." Regardless of the current state of affairs within any organization, there is always room for improvement. And as long as we are human, the same applies to us as well.

Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change IN LAST MONTH’S ISSUE we posed the question, “Where is your edge?” Do you associate edge with risk tolerance or with a certain workload, physical endurance training, life style habits or just simply how much you are willing to take on in your everyday life? We’ve all heard the term “That is edgy.” MadTV is over the edge funny to me. Many advertising campaigns utilize edgy tactics to get attention. Some might say Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan have jumped off the edge of the earth and lost touch with reality.

Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change DECEMBER! I love December for so many reasons: the weather, the closeness to family, the feeling of things coming to completion for the year and the opportunity to set new goals for the new year. I love the spirit around gift giving. During this time I really enjoy employing my imagination. Writing is one of those ways for me to create gifts from the heart. This year my gifts will be a new book I’ve completed that is a reflection of my past, my home and my family. What inspired me to write a book? A most gracious giver from the heart and our Over the Edge person of the month, Zelda Lockhart, author of Fifth Born and Cold (not water) Running Creek. A woman whose gifts are so grand and inspiring I consider her an Over the Edge giver! As always, don’t forget to take Part IV of our five-part self-assessment Edge Meter Survey at the end of this article.

Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s time to set new goals, create a new agenda, establish new directions and plan for the future. So let’s dive right in and share what it takes to effect positive change in the world! 2008 could be your year to effect change. Ask yourself now, “What are you passionate about? What do you believe could be better? What really gets your goat? If you could do anything and it was easy, would you take steps to change the world we live in somehow? Or how about starting smaller… What would you change in your own neighborhoods, in our schools, in our community, in our state, at the office… need I go on? How does one take on change and then how do you know that you are actually succeeding with your mission?” Let’s see how one woman is approaching the daunting task of change in the complex world of corporate boards.

Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change FRIENDS. I NEED MORE CLOSE FRIENDS. I know this sounds silly to some, desperate to others and familiar to more! But, the truth is having a career, a child, a dog, a husband, a house with a lawn and the Jones’ living all around us, aging parents, extended family sometimes in need and the occasional unexpected life hiccup. Where does one fit in time for friends? Okay, a step further, if your career requires a great deal of travel or you are a telecommuter living long hours chained to your desk alone in your home office, on conference calls all day long, where do you get your human-touch fix? Starbucks? And then let’s progress one more step, you’re climbing the corporate ladder of success… and a quote I’ve heard way to many times and worse, started to believe, “It gets lonely at the top.” Hmmm, Warren Buffett looks anything but lonely to me! Are we self-imposing this view?

Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change WHEN ONE OF YOUR BEST GIRLFRIENDS achieves success in life do you get excited for her? I mean, like it was your own success? Do you stop to celebrate not only the big achievements but the small steps as well? I have to admit, I do the first one (get excited for her as if it were my own success) more than the second (celebrate). We all need our cheerleaders to help us when we’re down, need ideas or for emotional support. We also need our cheerleaders to celebrate our successes in life and brag about small and big accomplishments. Women statistically are not braggers, we don’t generally boast about our wins in business or at home. Historically the majority of women influence from the background, out of sight of the spotlight to let the light shine on others. Our natural mentoring, creative, collaborative and nurturing characteristics are all admirable qualities of what I call “organic leadership” (powerful and natural leadership traits instilled during our childhood journey). Most women lead from an internal, passion-directed compass.

Infusing Your Organization's Culture with Positive Change DO YOU HAVE THOSE DAYS where the critical tasks seem insurmountable? These are the days when delayed contracts need to be finalized before $1.00 can be made; project deadlines are moved to tomorrow instead of next week; consultants are sitting at the table of your best business client (where you also consult!) infecting their brains with fears to the point of immobility; and the next deal feels like it’s bigger than “Everest” to climb. Life can be overwhelming at times. Of course, there are the metaphors that strengthen your ability to blow through these seemingly insurmountable mountains. Meet two women (sisters!) trekking through one of the greatest metaphoric adventures of life: climbing. They share what they’ve learned from this most physically and mentally demanding sport. Jill Hendrix and Emily McFarlane climb to the edge; they hold
