Do you work for an organization focused on your time or your results? Now I know most organizations say they focus on results, but often that can be mere talking points in a meeting.<\/p>\n
Let’s say a person is in sales and the agreed upon goal is 20% growth per year. They hit this goal year-in and year-out, but it’s done by working 4 hours per day, five days a week. Some might say; "hey if he\/she worked another 4 hours they could produce even more." What I didn’t mention was this person has three kids, elderly parents and volunteer passions. <\/p>\n
I’m of the mind that all people have allegiances, but sadly work tends to get the lion’s share of the time…at the cost of other people and passions. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t produce results in your area of expertise then all bets are off. No organization should keep someone around if they don’t consistently produce results.<\/p>\n
I found this post (Can Government Policy Change Corporate Culture<\/a>) on the Wall Street Journal’s blog The Juggle<\/a>. It speaks directly about government’s role in shaping corporate culture. It made me think about how many organizations could take the lead and shape a culture where results are the focus, not time. When that happens families are nurtured, sick parents can be cared for without guilt and many more of society’s problems could be remedied. <\/p>\n Give me your thoughts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you work for an organization focused on your time or your results?
