Читать книгу Manage to Engage - Pamela Hackett - Страница 44

A fit business is a healthy workplace comprising collaborative teams, which are powered by common sense, common values, and trust – energized by initiative at every level, and aware of what they're aiming for, and how to use their business infrastructure to best advantage.

A fit business has a highly engaged and collaborative leadership team whose members are in sync with one another and their teams. They cultivate a sense of purpose that is greater than profit and financial results. It is a healthy business bubbling with opportunity for sales and human growth, powered by those who show up for work – and who are all in, every day.

In such a business, people feel known, cared about, helped, inspired, led, and mobilized – and have the freedom to act for the good of the organization. Able to use their own discretion, they in turn volunteer their discretionary effort. Everyone goes HeadsUp. They lift their noses out of their devices and connect with people.

A fit and healthy business is characterized by a different way of managing and a different management model. Managers who can bring focus to people – but will then get out of the way and let them achieve – will win the war on talent.
