What’s your organization’s attitude? How is it impacting your culture? How is it impacting how you’re viewed externally? How is it impacting your results?
What are your employee’s attitudes about your company? What are their attitudes about your customers? How do they feel about the work they do?
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a company of 1,000 or a company of 1: Culture matters. It’s an energy that sends a message about who you are and what you stand for. And it’s key to whether your company experiences performance breakdowns or breakthroughs. Our guest today is an expert in defining company culture and taking a strengths-based approach to growth. We talk about ways businesses large and small can shape their culture, as well as how we can shift the way we see “engagement” so that it includes all types of communication styles, introverted and extroverted. Listen on The Introvert Entrepreneur.
Most small business owners appreciate the value of continuous learning when it comes to improving their ability to run their companies. But let’s face it; given the many demands that come with building and growing a small business, it can be hard to find the time needed to learn new things.

In this episode of the Amazing Workplace, Mike dives into the foundation of incredible organizations – their people. He challenges the listener to look around the table at the leadership team around them. Would you rehire every executive in your organization today, if given the opportunity?
(New York, June 1, 2015) The Gallup Organization has found that only 29 percent of employees are truly engaged in the work they do. That’s like an engine running at less than one third of its power. Now imagine a company where eight out of ten people are truly engaged. What would this mean to productivity, morale, retention, and ability to recruit top talent? The proven path to that transformation is revealed in Performance Breakthrough: The Four Secrets of Passionate Organizations, 2nd Edition (Highpoint Executive Publishing; hardcover, $24.99, 978- 0-9861585-2-0; e-book, $9.99, 978-0-9861585-0-6).
Revised and enhanced from the popular first edition by nationally recognized speaker and consultant, Mike Goldman, Performance Breakthrough 2nd Edition reveals the four secrets for creating a more passionate, productive, and profitable organization. “I’ve worked with dozens of companies over the last twenty-five years, and from large organizations such as Disney, Levi Strauss, and Polo Ralph Lauren to the local accounting firm, hotel, or plumber—the largest opportunity for improvement was helping people better realize their potential,” says Goldman. “New strategies, processes, and systems are certainly important, but people will trump them every time.”
Performance Breakthrough’s message is communicated in the form of a fictional story to help make its concepts real and easily understood, augmented by new case studies, summaries, checklists, and other tools that will help an organization of any size create positive energy, find passion, and achieve its own Performance Breakthrough.
As Verne Harnish, CEO, Gazelles, and author of Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0) states in the book’s foreword, “Performance Breakthrough provides a framework to drive enthusiasm and engagement throughout your organization. This framework is based on simple, actionable, and inexpensive ideas, not high-level concepts. The story, case studies, and tools you’re about to learn will both motivate you to inject more passion into your organization, and provide you with specific steps to make it happen.”

Would you rather have a well-rounded employee or a world-class employee?
When making hiring decisions, most leaders look for well-rounded individuals and create a list of skills and experiences they would like a job candidate to possess. Unfortunately, very few leaders have knowledge of the talents required for the job. Talents are habits and tendencies wired into our brains from an early age—things like leadership, flexibility, love of learning, or empathy. On the other hand, knowledge and skills are learned and mastered through experience. Continue reading “How to Focus on Your Employees’ Strengths”
