How do I know if my organization needs help?

Check your organization for any of these “high temperature” symptoms.

1. You don’t like your job any more but you run the organization.
2. You found your strategic plan from five years ago and realized it is the same as the one you just wrote.
3. You wake up in the middle of the night having “performance management” conversations.
4. You worry your ED, CEO, CFO or other key employees will quit before your term of office ends.
5. You are solving the same internal/external customer service problems over and over.
6. Your Board of Directors is disengaged.
7. Your organization is experiencing either communication blocks, declining moral, low motivation or all of these.
8. You can’t get some of your employees, or partners, to go along with a new way of doing things.
9. Deep down you know something is wrong but you just can’t put your finger on it.
10. Employees are doing their work but are maliciously compliant.

If you answered, “yes” to any of these statements then you may benefit from the specialized expertise of a training or organization development consultant.

Make Things Happen can help get everyone on the same page with training sessions targeted to your specific needs. Our training is designed to improve your organization’s performance by aligning your strategy, goals, processes and people.

There are a number of possible reasons for inadequate performance:

Lack of clarity: Can you define, or better still measure, “adequate performance”? It’s one thing to have a gut feeling that “they could do better” but if you can’t be more specific about what “adequate performance” means, you could have unrealistic expectations.

Lack of ability:  If your employees simply don’t know how to meet your performance standards, they need training.

Lack of willingness: Sometimes employees are perfectly capable of meeting performance measures but they don’t want to or aren’t willing to make the effort. You need to clarify what is expected and the consequences of not meeting expectations.

Barriers: Sometimes employees are both willing and able to perform, but are prevented from doing so by some form of barrier.

If you suspect your organization’s performance is being held back for any one of these reasons, Make Things Happen training can help you find the path to improved performance and success.
