In college, a friend and I, used to strive to include 4 words in every paper we wrote. Those words? Boon Moist Torrential Cavalcade The reason why these words in particular were chosen has faded away into the mists of time, but we had the belief (perhaps mistaken) that if we could incorporate each of these words appropriately, the natural result had to be a grade of "A."

In the past few days, I've had some amazing conversations with people about how things I've written here have affected them. Since having a positive impact is one of my most important values and motivators, hearing from people that what I write here makes a difference to them is tremendously rewarding. . What occurred to me, though, was how often we DON'T tell people how something they've done has positively impacted us.

“Although the workforce has evolved and is now consumed by over 50% of Millennial employees, companies’ recognition practices have remained the same. Retaining talent and driving results have become two obstacles that employers constantly struggle to overcome. To boost engagement, drive performance, and get results, employers must move beyond Traditional Years of Service awards and implement a culture of everyday feedback.”

Creativity is at the core of building quality in design. People rarely innovate when they simply follow instructions. This led me to think more about creativity – the act of doing something in an unconventional way, the act of creating something meaningful that changes you and hence the world. Traditionally (in an industrial world), only artists were meant to be creative – painters, dancers, poets and so on.

I know a lot of people say you shouldn't make resolutions because you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. But I feel just the opposite -- when I make a resolution, I feel hopeful. I think that's because I do a gut check as I make a resolution. I mean, I know that if I say I plan to give up Diet Dr. Pepper's and M&Ms, I'll know in my gut that is never going to happen.

I believe in the power of conversation. I believe that when two or more people gather together to talk about what really matters to them, the most amazing things can happen. . I believe that revolutions begin with conversations around a kitchen table or in a living room or on lunch hour or at a coffee shop. Big change comes when we are willing to engage with the important questions. . I believe that as human beings, we are built for conversation. It is how we learn as babies.

Fact: job dissatisfaction is directly related to life dissatisfaction. “We”, We”, by Rudy Karsan and Kevin Kruse, observes that employees who are stressed, micromanaged, and disengaged at work suffer negative repercussions in their external relationships, health, and general life happiness. Not to mention, employees are increasingly being diagnosed with work-induced anxiety and stress disorders.

“…leadership may be defined as: the ability to enhance the environment so that everyone is empowered to contribute creatively to solving the problem(s).” – Gerald M. Weinberg. People do their best work when they are “intrinsically motivated” and one of the most important intrinsic motivator for people is autonomy in work. People need a space to perform and they need a say in how their work should be performed. Workplace autonomy feeds self-esteem and fosters creativity.

My friends in college used to tease me because they said when someone walked into a room, I looked them up and down, from head to toe. I wasn't aware I was doing this -- until I realized that I could later remember everything the person was wearing. I worried that this habit of mine would be seen as rude -- even judgmental -- so I worked to curb it. But as I got older, I realized that we all make assessments within seconds of seeing someone.

Social media is at the forefront of communication, whether you like it or not. A 2011 study from Ipsos Reid found that over 17 million people nationwide are regular users of social media. So, how does this affect your employee engagement strategy? Well, it means that a large majority (if not ALL) of your employees are using social media on a regular basis. And what better way to engage with your employees than on mediums that pique their interest and are utilized daily.

Last Friday I took a couple of hours off to run some personal errands. I wish I had stayed home, because my retinas are forever emblazoned with the visions I saw in "casual Friday" workplaces as I went to take care of my business. Casual Fridays were instituted as a sort of morale booster years ago, a way to let employees ditch the tie and pantyhose and wear something a little more casual.

If process is a vehicle, purpose is the compass. Purpose gives a definite direction to processes. People (and their expertise) are the drivers. Technology acts as an accelerator. Most system implementation or change initiatives focus enough on the P-P-T – People, process and technology and somewhere along the lines, the focus on purpose blurs.
