How do you look at The Employee Lifecycle ? Are you detached like a seasoned clinician who views patients in terms of mechanics, or are you involved like the newly graduated nurse who is focused on the experience of the person and the wellbeing of their body? Both have the best interests of the patient in mind, but there is a difference. Of course we are not talking about birth, adolescence and adulthood.

In thriving organizations, culture looks like (and often is) the hidden “secret sauce.” On the flip side, in failing organizations, culture is often blamed for preventing change. When we envision what the two look like, they could not appear more dissimilar in our minds. The culture of engagement, passion, and purpose versus the culture of punching clocks and sacred cows.

A surprise resignation here; a rumor of resentment there… these are indications that there are problems within your management team. If this is happening, the time to take action is now. Great managers build trust , inspire individuals, and motivate teams. Bad managers breed resentment and make people want to quit. Problem is, you may not realize what’s happening until smaller managerial issues have spiraled into much bigger problems.
