How to increase your employees' committment!
First, ask yourself...
As a leader, do you set the right example?
Contrary to what some people might tell you, employees today do want to be committed to the organization. They take pride in going above and beyond. They desire to feel like they are really making a difference and contributing to the success of the company. But 99 times out of 100, they will not feel this way simply out of the blue; it begins with the actions of the leader or manager. Ensuring our employees are fully committed to the organization starts with you. As the leader, show your employees that you are fully committed to doing the same things that you are expecting out of them.
For instance, do you "live" the mission and vision of the company that you so often preach? Are you willing to roll up your sleeves and help out to get the "not so glamorous" work done when you know it will benefit the team? Are you proactively looking for ways to improve your performance? Do you have a positive attitude towards the company? Are you willing to do whatever you have to do in order to satisfy a customer?
Employees can't be told, tricked, forced, manipulated or "managed" into committing to the organization. They must make that choice on their own, but it is up to the leaders to help them make the right choice! As leaders, our actions ALWAYS speak MUCH louder than words. When those around us see that we "practice what we preach," they will be much quicker and more eager to fall in line and be led!

How can a blue collar guy like myself vote for Hillary or Barack?
Here they go again! Speaking before The Council of La Raza "the race" in Miami both candidates said in their first year of office they would revive comprehensive immigration reform. Hillary said that the Dream Act may have a good chance of passing during this Congressional session.
My Son may not be a Latino from Miami or an African-American from Chicago or a white girl from Kentucky, but he struggles just the same.
Where is his Dream Act? Where is mine?
Why do your interests have to be at odds with the interests of a Latin person or anyone else? Helping minorities doesnt mean that majority people get the shaft. Unless blue collar is synonymous with racists the interests are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Here are some

DescriptionThis "back-to-the-roots" road-trip documentary CD/DVD from blues-rocking guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd can be viewed in two ways--it's either the culmination of a long-held desire to promote and play with some unheralded blues veterans before they pass away (as six had already done since the recording was made, 2½ years before its early 2007 release) or a way to regain the blues audience Shepherd all but alienated on his artistically and commercially disappointing 2004 hard-rock release, The Place You're In... |
