Be A People Artist #beapeopleartist

by 2 Comments

I need you to be a People Artist. I need you to draw out the best in others at work. I know if you do it will make a difference for the person who receives the expression and it will make a difference to you, too.

Yesterday I expressed and appreciation of a colleague from Singapore on LinkedIn. I wanted to let him know how much I appreciated him in a public way. I had no idea how public it would become.

I looked at the post today and saw that it had 12,810 views. It made my day.

Whose day are you going to make? Be a People Artist #beapeopleartist.

If you don’t know how to proceed I will send you a free e-copy of my last book co-authored with Peter Hart, People Artist, Drawing Out the Best In Others at Work

Refresh Employee Engagement Today

This is refreshing

Here is a snippet from my latest post on 12 ways to refresh employee engagement:

12. Change your champions

Why is engagement so often housed or championed in HR, Organizational Learning and Development or Internal communications? Shake things up for the next year. Put finance, operations, safety, or marketing in charge of employee engagement. Break down the functional silos of engagement so that employee engagement becomes everybody’s business.

Employee Engagement: People Artists Add Vibrant Interpersonal Color to Work

Employee Engagement Through People Artisty

I encourage you to read the full post including such statement as:

Why do we need people artistry when we already have human resources?
People artistry is our plea to focus on the person, not a human resource. People are not resources that should just be managed; they are people we work with every day. People artistry doesn’t reside in a specific department or area of the business; it needs to touch every person from co-workers and people we manage, to cleaning staff and security guards. We trust that after reading “People Artists,” you’ll personalize your approach to work. Think of being a people artist as your way to repay the debt to someone who brought out the best in you.

Make Work Better: Learn to Leap Into People Artistry

People Artists Cover

During February We Are Making A Special Offer to You.

It would personally mean a lot to me if you would take a couple minutes of your precious time and read this email and then took the next step of ordering copies of People Artists to make work better for yourself and everyone you work with.

Are you ready to fully ignite and express your People Artistry at work? Do you know how to draw out the best in others? Are you repaying the debt to all those who brought out the best in you?

People Artists by Peter Hart and David Zinger is a pithy, beautifully illustrated book drawing on the wisdom of leaders who are artists in getting people to engage at work. ~ Harvey Schachter, Globe and Mail, January 5, 2016.

Peter W. Hart and I wrote People Artists: Drawing Out the Best in Others at Work for you and the people you work with. We want to eradicate days of drudgery, wishy-washy weeks, mundane months, and years of yearning with powerful daily doses of robust connection, recognition, and engagement based on the 5 tools of People Artists:

  • Your heart cares
  • Your ears listen
  • Your eyes see
  • Your lips express
  • Your hands give

People Artistry is a social book. We would be pleased if you read the book yourself but we want to assist in creating a workplace that achieves results, builds relationships, and installs wellbeing through a movement of People Artists ready, willing, and able to make work better.

If you’re familiar with David’s take on employee engagement, you know he gets to the heart of what’s important about it: our relationships with each other. People Artists makes a link between our senses, our emotions and intellect, and how we experience the world and create experience for ourselves and others. Each chapter then shows how various people have used these ideas to forge relationships. As an Anthropologist, I greatly enjoyed that the book draws upon people’s stories. The back and forth of illustrations, stories, and invitations to practice and reflect are not something that most people ordinarily think of when they think of work. ~ Jasmine Gartner, Workplace Anthropologist and employee engagement author

During February we are hosting Leap into People Artistry. Don’t allow leap year to pass without helping others at work leap into work. I often ask people if they can draw. Most people say they can’t. This is wrong. Everyone can draw they just might not draw as well as they would like. You can also draw out the best in other at work through People Artistry:

  1. Complete a self-assessment
  2. Learn from 37 other people artists
  3. Apply the 5 tools of the People Artist
  4. Commit yourself to the recommended practices
  5. Don’t let a day go by without drawing out the best in others and encouraging everyone at work to draw out the best from each other.

This slim hardcover book is packed with beautiful art, insights, and actions for work. Think of it as an exquisite mini coffee table book for your office desk.

This is a wonderful book- it’s like opening a gift when you read and experience it fully. I am honoured to be mentioned in the book as a people artist and Iencourage all leaders to pick up a copy. It’s one I keep out on my desk at work so others can discover it too. It’s easy to read, a joy to experience & full of easy & meaningful tips on bring out the best in yourself and others. Enjoy! ~ Leslee Thompson, Former President & CEO of Kingston General Hospital, Currently President and CEO of Accreditation Canada
