Download or read book Conscious Culture written by Joanna Barclay and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With employee engagement between 26-30 percent leaders are looking for ways to engage untapped employee potential and maximize their capital investment in HR. A new business paradigm is emerging in the twenty-first century where an organization's culture is the most important and valuable asset a company has to attract, engage, and retain top talent. The most successful corporations in the world are values-driven and consciously invest in building their workplace culture so that it aligns with the personal values of their people. Values are a source of life-force energy that come from within. They inspire and motivate us and embody our heart and soul. Study of contextual cardiology has demonstrated the existence and power of the heart's energy. We experience this in the form of emotional intelligence and intuition. The more leaders practice connecting with their emotional intelligence (emotions such as love, compassion, loyalty, and trust), the more effective they will be at leading themselves and others. This is because employees are looking for leaders they can trust and who care for others, want to make a difference, and contribute to society. A facilitative leadership style is the key to transforming an organization and creating a culture of engagement. It moves people from being focused on "me" (self-interest) to "we" (common good). Facilitative leaders unify the organization, connect hearts and minds, empower employees to bring their best selves to work, and create a WOW culture where employees love what they do. The book contains unique tools for inner and outer transformation, along with case studies and worksheets to support leaders' journeys of culture change to measure, map, and manage cultural transformation. What you measure you can manage. Organizational transformation begins with the personal transformation of the leaders because organizations don't change; it's the people in them who do. Leaders learn how to "walk the talk" and be the change they want to see.

Paying attention and genuinely caring about the effects people have on one another other is key to developing a winning culture where people perform at the top of their game and want to work. As a workplace strategist and business coach, Erica Keswin has spent over 20 years working with top business leaders and executives to build successful organizations that honor relationships. Featuring case studies from top brands such as, Lyft, Starbucks, Mogul, and SoulCycle, to name a few, Bring Your Human to Work distills the key practices of the most human companies into applicable advice that any business leader can use to build a “human workplace.” These building blocks include: • Understanding your company’s role in the world, beyond financial profit • Encouraging employees to be healthy in body and spirit • Running your meetings with clear purpose • Making space for face-to-face interaction • Building professional development into company culture • Inspiring your workforce to give back to the community • Simply saying “thank you” A human company is real, genuine, aligned, and true to itself. A real company flaunts its humanity, instead of hiding it. It’s what the most successful, sustainable companies are doing today, and there’s no reason yours can’t be the same. Keswin’s leadership lessons foster fairness, devotion, and joy in the workplace—all critical elements of a successful business. By bringing your human to work, you can design a workplace that is good for people, great for business, and just might change the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Conscious Person’s Guide to the Workplace is a unique compendium that incorporates a wide range of insights and high-leverage principles about the nature of work, organizations, leadership and change. Distilled from over four decades of workplace experience, it effectively integrates concepts and maxims from the fields of: business management, organizational development, anthropology, biological science, cosmology, psychology, quantum physics, sociology, human consciousness, and various schools of spiritual practice. The Guide is a practical and powerful resource for creating workplaces that evoke and engage the human spirit in pursuit of a world that works for all. The concepts and principles have been field tested and proven to work, in some cases over millennia. During the last two decades, the author and his colleagues successfully used them to create an enterprise that was nationally recognized for its culture, innovation and effectiveness. Using this remarkable resource to transform a workplace is relatively simple, but challenging: Hold the concepts and principles as compass and guide, then deal openly and forthrightly with whatever arises. Through this process, workplaces become enterprises where people “show up” to co-create the kind of experiences, organizations and world that are right, good, and desirable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERFORMANCE CULTURE provides a simplified approach to create a company culture that increases business value, profitability and workplace satisfaction — an approach that has proven to work in the companies we coach. Many of our clients have significantly grown their business by implementing the four elements of Performance Culture. These elements include Effective Leadership, Niche Strategy, People Management and Process Excellence.This book includes a project plan as well as online code to download templates to implement PCS in your company.Our approach to leadership development will help you earn the “will of your team”, communicate clearly and hold your team accountability. The Niche Strategy model will create a Unique Value Proposition and improve your competitive advantage.

Focus and time management will improve through 90-day plans and weekly leadership team meetings. Process Excellence will help you build a scalable company that consistently delivers quality products and services. The company scorecard will measure key performance indicators and help you identify potential issues before real problems arise.The idea to write this book occurred while I was recapping the success of many of our clients. This discussion took place during the height of the recession that began in 2008. While many companies were struggling, many of our clients were growing. In some cases the growth was amazing (25% to 200% APR).We created a list of our fastest growing clients and included the key elements that were making these companies successful. After completing the list, we looked for common traits among the successful companies. What we found was revealing. While the successful companies were doing many things differently, we did find four common traits. These traits included effective leadership, niche strategies, a great team & workplace (people) and process excellence. The company owners led in a way that earned the will of their team. They hired right, communicated expectations and held team members accountable for results. The companies focused on very specific target markets and offered unique products and services. Their niche strategies enabled them to win and earn higher profit margins. The leaders focused on process excellence and made sure processes were documented, followed and constantly improved.Developing a Performance Culture that produces long-term benefit takes discipline and commitment -- the essential elements required to create good habits. In the book, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business the author, Charles Duhigg, explains how business leaders achieved success by focusing on the patterns that shape every aspect of our lives. The Performance Culture System will show you a set of patterns to achieve success for you and your company. These patterns include:Effective Leadership -- Three rules to become a great leaderNiche Strategy -- Tips on how to create a compelling value proposition and competitive advantagePeople Management -- Simple Human Resource Management methods to hire right and motivate employees to do their bestProcess -- A simplified framework to create a scalable operation that delivers consistency and quality
