Life at Work Affects Life at Home and Vice Versa

The Challenges Are Great, The Benefits are Greater

1. Chaos

Nothing seems to work right. No one is on the same page. Everything takes longer and is harder to do than it should.


2. Frustration

When people feel like they can't win, tensions rise, fuses get short. Its a relief to go home.


3. Changing Priorities

Everything is a crisis, the urgent trumps the important everyday. You are running on adrenalin all day long.


4. No Time for People

You are governed completely by your watch, not relationships. When you do talk with people they know you are in a hurry.

1. Care Strategies That Fit Your Purpose

Clarify your purpose and then choose proven strategies for whole-person care that fit that purpose.


2. Clear Expectations & Ownership

The Leader's relationship, plans, meetings, measures and training clarify not only what an employees is responsible for but the way they interact with people as they deliver it. 


3. Info Organized the Way You Work

Leaders are overwhelmed with information. To ease the load LeadFirst organizes information around the people and teams they interact with. Our Meeting Management and Individual Snapshot streamline info access.


4.Change is Orderly & Communicated

Change is relentless, so clear processes for quickly identifying issues, making decisions and communicating decisions is critical to santity and performance.


5. Built-in Learning

Organization performance depends on individual and collective growth. A learning library is built in. Learning tracks are integrated into individual plans and micro learnings into meetings to support continuous learning.


6. Measured Progress

Pressure from the urgent is relentless, which makes organization development benchmarking critical. Benchmarks assure that leaders are held accountable for developing their teams and for identifying best practices.


7. People Smiling at Day's End

Recently when I asked Tyler, a supervisor of 40 people, what success meant to him. He said, "I want to hit my numbers and I want my people smiling at the end of the day." That sums it up.
