Understand FocusPlan We cannot ignore the financial impact something has on the organization. Even most non-profits must have some money to operate. In most for-profit organizations, there needs to be a solid financial return to stay open, regardless of how noble their purpose is.

Understand FocusPlan MiniTour: Action Summary

Understand Thriving Keys MiniTour: Connection Connection: We are human, and the organization's primary and controlling system is our "human system".  People need to feel connected to other people in order to thrive. An organization needs the people that make it work to feel connected to each other.  They need to be a team. Connection to other people is actually stronger than opiate addiction.  Check out this amazin Rat Park video.

Understand Thriving Keys MiniTour: Control Control: When We say "Control", think of "Empowerment".  What we mean is that everyone needs to know they have some meaningful influence over what they are doing and even a team they are a part of. The days of people being happy just doing the same thing over and over again are well...over! The person at the "point of value", or where something meaningful happens, need to have both influence and responsibility in order to thrive. 

Understand Thriving Keys MiniTour: Progress Progress: Everyone needs to feel they are making progress at something that matters or they feel that they, as person, aren't making a difference. This is why tracking things is so important. If you don't measure it, you probably can't improve it, and if you can't improve, you aren't going to feel like you are contributing. 

Understand Thriving Keys MiniTour: Clarity Clarity: Clarity is the "wrapper" that makes everything else work.  If you aren't clear about what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how you will measure success, you are in a forest in the fog- not good. For example: How can you feel you are making progress if you aren't clear about what exactly progress is?  

Understand Thriving Keys MiniTour: Purpose Purpose: People and organizations need a purpose, or worthy cause. For the people at an organization to want to contribute to the organization's success, they need to believe that organization has a purpose greater than just making money. It is best if the people have a genuine connection to the purpose, and even better if the individual knows their own purpose and feels their work contributes to their personal purpose in life.
