Change

Mondays always bring a sense of excitement as it is a new week and a fresh start. The challenge on Monday's is harnessing the energy and building and actionable plan for the remainder of the week. As I came in today I had a conversation with one of my top performing team members. She was letting me know that she was posting on another position in the organization. I am a huge advocate for people moving up in the organization and will do whatever it takes to promote my team.

In this case my concern is her leaving the position to secure a role that is less stress and more secure. This makes me wonder why people are son concerned about losing their job? Since I have been unfortunate enough to go through a downsizing maybe I have a different view on this, however it seems like fear of losing your job is a major motivation for people. The key to any successful person is they have to enjoy the people that they work with rather than the company they work for....therefore hiring the right people is the key to success.
