Episode 29 Whiteboard

Reflection Questions:

  1. Research shows most US organizations have a mission, vision, core values, and strategy. However, employee understanding drops off significantly in actually knowing and actively living them. How would your organization stack up in knowing and living these critical foundational goals/objectives? How do you know?
  2. Ultimately your workplace culture is shaped by the stories both told and untold. What stories are your employees sharing both inside and out? Do they accurately describe the way you do things and why they are important?   
  3. Do you have a clear plan in your organization regarding when to:
    • Buy talent (hire)
    • Build talent (train and develop)
    • Borrow talent (contract, temps, consultants)
    • Redeploy existing talent (move internally)
