Here's my list of things I'm expecting - Issues from layoffs of friends/coworkers. "Survivor" guilt, added work, etc. - Low or no pay raises. - Staffs ability to adapt to change as the company changes strategy, drops products, etc. - Anxiety over other things in their lives, the state of the US/world economy, etc. 2. I'm hoping that with help from groups like this - mine will trend up! :^) But I think the fact is that without extra emphasis it will trend down. 3. I plan to do a few things. - Try to give people more say in decisions. - Delegate interesting problems to groups and get them to work together to figure out and implement the solutions. - Ramp up the feedback even more - especially positive public comments. 4. Here's my thoughts. - Not worry about things they cannot change. - Keep a good work/life balance - Step up/speak up/get involved instead of just griping about issues - Do what is important not urgent - Decide what is really important to them 5. I've started blocking out time in my schedule every week to specifically do certain things like plan for one-on-ones, review previous week, long term plan issues, etc. This should also be on the list. I may not get to it every week but it brings it to my mind. 6.Apply all the things I said above to me too! :^) 1. Here’s my list of things I’m expecting
