Leaders in all types of organizations are perpetually on the hunt for ways to improve productivity, morale, effectiveness ... you name it. They consult new management techniques, launch special initiatives and introduce the resulting training sessions for employees. Yet there's a caveat. In the midst of the seeming chaos of continuous improvement and change, the very gifts, talents and competencies that helped sustain the business can diminish or disappear altogether.

Likewise, the upheaval that new programs and processes can cause (especially if unclear or unnecessary) can lead to lower morale, disrupted productivity and increased turnover.

We’ve created this tip series to help you recognize and strengthen those organizational qualities that led to your current success (however defined), and which you can incorporate into your group’s planning and goal-setting and measuring discussions.

After completing the series, your group will have a clearer understanding of the activities and behaviors that define your group's strengths and support its successes, and those areas that require more refinement in order to move closer to "mastery level."

Each month, beginning with this edition and ending in December 2002, Ivy Sea Online will post a tip to keep you focused on, aware of and able to build your organization’s strengths. The series will include Ivy Sea-tested tips and techniques that you can apply that very same week, including group exercises, individual reflections, communications, and other approaches to motivate you toward action.
