Why Employees Stay

9/29/2016

Love
By Marita Fridjhon

Yesterday in our executive team meeting I was reminded of the well-known statement that “employees don’t quit jobs, they quit managers and office environments.” The research by brain scientists such as Daniel Pink and positivity in the workplace research by Losada, Heaphy and others, bear this out.

When we sat down for our meeting there was not only a high frustration level in the room but also fatigue… The server went down, the IT support group was slow on the uptake, pressing deadlines for proposals, marketing and other initiatives were stretched to the max by information not accessible on the recalcitrant server hard disk, to name only a few issues.

Leapers, Bridge Builders & Tradition Holders

Leaper
By Marita Fridjhon

Years ago Faith and I came up with this activity that really is helpful for clients who are in the trenches of change management. Is there anybody that is not currently managing change of some kind?

Last week we had the unique opportunity to work back-to-back with two organizations who, as organizational entities, respectively occupy the lands of Leapers and Tradition Holders. While we very often work with the roles of Leapers, Bridge builders and Tradition holders in teams, I have never had such a vivid experience of organizational entities occupying these roles.

Part 5 of 5 – the 5 C’s of Good Relationships: Commitment

The Fifth “C,” Commitment, is the fifth in a series of five blogs on The 5 C’s of Good Relationships.

It is impossible to have a long term relationship without commitment. Commitment is the glue, the container that holds the relationship together in the face of the insults and injuries of everyday partnership life. Like courtesy, commitment is a discipline and a path. Partners speak of making a commitment to one another, as if we are committing to the other person. However, at CRR Global we hold it a little differently, as a commitment to a spiritual path you are both willing to explore. 

The word commitment closes off some people’s throats, leaving them gasping for air, especially in this era of “hook ups.” It sounds like hard work, limiting, confining. And it is those things, sometimes. Sometimes marriage feels stifling. We grow weary of the compromises. We get bored with familiarity. We chafe under the bonds. This is because commitment is a container.

Commitment is like a vessel that holds something you care about, whether it is family, a talent for baseball or a project. And if you want to be good at something you care about you dedicate yourself to it. You submit to the routine, you practice the drills that give you mastery, you show up over and over even when you would rather sleep in. You do this because when you practice your craft, dive deeply into the mysteries of it, that discipline becomes a profound expression of who you are. Eventually all that discipline falls away and there are moments of transcendent freedom, when you are playing the instrument of your Third Entity together effortlessly. 

Focus and commitment produce depth of experience. Good partnerships develop a kind of patina, a smooth silky quality of interaction from years of sanding down the bumps and snags. Like polished beach wood each one has a unique shape from the weathering effects of their common experience. This is worth having.
