Managing for Success: The Value of Values
EDMONTON SPRING 2005 WORKSHOP
A group of over 25 attendees gathered in Edmonton on May 27th, for a very interactive Spring Workshop. The session included a talk on "Managing for Success: The Value of Values" by Joy Humphrey, Managing Partner with Excel Group Development Edmonton.
The workshop generated lots of discussion and interaction. Each table was asked to develop a resume for a company who had 24% staff turnover. The resume included what each person would be contributing to the project. Three groups were formed and the results of their collaboration brought forth 3 main areas of discussion:
1. Roles, goals, expectations must be defined by each company
2. Employees must feel valued: health & safety of employee's important, communication important to all employees, corporate objectives and project management
3. HR skills: listening skills
Ultimately, the information provided by Ms. Humphrey was not only informative but also practical when working with people in either a professional or personal arena:
Know which attitudes drive actions and decisions (what are internal motivators)
Understand each attitude and what determines the job fit
Understand others viewpoints and be able to dialogue by seeing the world through their eyes
