Write a positive feedback on a post-it note and secretly stick it in eye-sight for a suprise positive start in the morning.
I am a call center manager. I have one challenge that I never find a good solution for, and that is how to compose the best team of support agents. I am not going to team up the best agents. I want to find the best team.
So what am I looking for?

Frode,
I hope you can "flow" with this idea and not just have it be water under the bridge.

I would like to tap water on bottles. Norwegian fresh mountain water. And I would love to have some variants with taste. I would love to tap them on small bottles or boxes with straws and sell it to kids. It needs to have an appealing design so kids…
Fun at the office is essential. As a manager or leader you must dare to be different, and dare to allow acts of crazykindness around the office. I once felt that the mood was down at my department, I changed into a batman costume and ran around the…
I just heard this podcast http://podcast.amanet.org/edgewise/management/138/bruce-tulgan-on-how-to-manage-generation-y/
And since I manage a lot of Gen Y'ers - I find this topic very interesting.

Hi Craig! Thank you so much for your help and feedback! It means a lot to me.
Values and strengths..... the closer the match with the organization and position, the more engaged the individual.
Had to dig a bit deeper for this stuff. First, a great parable from Soar With Your Strengths (book highly recommended)..Let the Rabb…
Greetings once again, Frode:
What you are laying out is absolutely critical. I posted a blog some time ago that is dead-on with what you are embarking on, based on personal experience. A short excerpt:

Indeed networking is old. I was in Nipawin Saskatchewan 1 month ago. Went for a run at 6:30 a.m. I passed Carla's dinner and outside there were 14 pick up trucks parked. Inside the farmers were having coffee and conversation. I bet it was…
Not been around lately, but always willing to join the conversation. Net working is an ancient activity when you think about it. What technology offers us -- is the ability to carry out our intentions. Someone smarter then me, taught me that.

This is really cool, so many useful things. Frode your guide is really excellent. Joining the right network(s....may I add that 's') does matter. I quite like doing a bit of drifting before settling though, things aren't always what they seem @ firs…

My dream job...
I would like to tap water on bottles. Norwegian fresh mountain water. And I would love to have some variants with taste. I would love to tap them on small bottles or boxes with straws and sell it to kids. It needs to have an appealing design so kids pick it in stead of drinks with sugar.
Every employee should be a stock holder and be people that would do anything to create a great and happy work place.

- Hello Frode. Just wanted you to know I fulfilled your request to stop by and visit. Norway...right now I am in middle America in the midst of a pretty brutal heat wave. May the ocean breeze be comforting to you!

Does employees’ satisfaction with workplace diversity positively impact employees’ overall satisfaction with their jobs?
The attached research gives us some insight into this topic. I look forward to your comments.
All the best,

As a consultant, I often have the privilege of acting as my client’s right hand or lending a listening ear for what’s going on in their business. I am not a certified coach, but years of being a performance improvement specialist has taught me much…
Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.
David
Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
Though you may find candid…
