WORK IS LEADING CAUSE OF STRESS
COMPANY
DOESN’T CARE
RHC
The statistics are alarming. Across our great nation, 3 out of 4 people are disengaged in their jobs…7 out of 8 feel like they work for a company that doesn’t care abut them…3 out of 5 (or almost 60%) report being physically depleted…... In other words, 130 million are unhappy in their work. Clearly, a crisis in leadership has infected our country and this is a significant contributor to the challenges we face in families and communities!

Our workplaces are harming us!
STRESSED, UNHAPPY PEOPLE HEADING HOME EACH DAY--TGIF!

SIOR Nashville Oct. 23, 2014
Business could be the most powerful force for good in the world…
if leaders would embrace the awesome responsibility of leadership.
We BELIEVE that businesses and organizations have the opportunity to become the most powerful positive influence on our society by creating environments in which people can find work that they love…within a community of people whom they enjoy…working together to achieve a vision they all share. We BELIEVE YOU, business leaders of tomorrow, are the key to this new standard for workplaces…so that we can someday eliminate the 75% that are disengaged and the 88% who feel like their company doesn’t care for them. You can be part of the solution.

12. Why can’t business be fun?
SIOR Nashville Oct. 23, 2014
Why can’t business be fun?
The first defining moment of our leadership journey happened about 16 years ago…
I was inspired by observing team members having fun around March Madness and thought:
“Why can’t the game of business be fun?”
Introduced games that aligned rewards to value creation
But don’t just take my word for it. In the words of esteemed future business leader Jamieson Ogle…some of you may recognize him…
[click on picture which brings up soundbite from WU student Ogle who says “People want to do a good job and have fun and be happy. Your job as a business leader is to make that environment possible. “]

15. Our Guiding Principles:
SIOR Nashville Oct. 23, 2014
Our Guiding Principles:
We measure success by the WAY WE TOUCH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. Surprise, surprise—not what you’ve been taught in business school, eh? Success in our society is usually monetary or positional .. But we’ve come to believe that true success is realized as we allow others to realize their potential and return home fulfilled.
We measure success
by the way we touch
the lives of people.

If we measure success
by the way
we touch the lives of people,
how do we respond?
You reveal your core values in hard times:
2009 ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
If we measure success by the way we touch
the lives of people, how do we respond?
Protect the “health” of ALL stakeholders
Shared sacrifice
Proactive communication
Our business rebounded ahead of the curve
Our fiscal 2010 (ended Sept. 2010) was a record year in operating income on a modest rebound in new equipment orders
More importantly, for each of our stakeholders, it validated the depth of our commitment to our beliefs

Listening is a critical leadership skill and the most powerful act of caring.
How we lead has a profound impact on how those entrusted to us live!
