You are bringing together a group of talented individuals that are going to work together towards a common goal… like winning the World Cup (we wish). The components that have to come together to succeed are complicated. It is not as straight forward as an employee having the fear of losing their job, or even that different people are motivated by different things… money, recognition and sense of achievement. The key to successfully managing a team of this nature is more about building a community than traditional managerial motivators.

Addiction to Change
Along with the rest of the country I too am caught in the grip of the election media frenzy.

‘LEAN’ on the Consumer
Understanding consumer values, their decision making process and how they spend their disposable income is going to become the foundation for business strategy and management policy in 2010.
Add to that the fact that in a standardised world where things are increasingly similar the world over, people are the difference and employee engagement is going to make the difference.
Lean working is about understanding and meeting the needs of the consumers more effectively. For most organisations it will be about meeting those needs in a better, faster and right first time way – eliminating waste, reducing costs, enhancing value.
