IVY SEA'S PLANNING TIP SERIES FOR CORPORATE TEAMS
A FEW GREAT REASONS TO DO A GOOD PLAN
Visioning and planning can, in many corporations, seem like just one more management dictate that requires more committees and meetings. Teams get together, create the "team charter," sit in seemingly endless meetings only to produce a planning spreadsheet and "mission statement" from which they feel strangely dissociated.
While the myriad reasons to feel disconnected from the typical corporate planning processes are understandable, there are many benefits to engaging personally in the process: life-work balance; personal as well as professional development; staying clear and motivated at work; breaking free of crisis-to-crisis management; deciding when or whether to move on to other opportunities; and finding and maintaining good relationships with colleagues, clients and suppliers.
So how can an employee find a middle path between the typical sterile planning processes, and the importance of creating a connection between personal motivation and work?
Our 14-step planning-tip series is designed to help you do just that. This Ivy Sea "Hot-Issue" Planning-Tips Kit includes:
