RUNNING ON 30% POWER

According to recent Gallup polls, a mere 30% of todays employeesare engaged in their workplace, while 70% are unmotivated andlacking energy. In other words, seven out of 10 employees have quit;they just havent told you yet. Gallup estimates that this Epidemic ofEmployee Disengagement costs American industry over $350 Billioneach year. What is it costing you?

Power = Energy

In physics, The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the totalamount of energy available remains constant it cannot be createdor destroyed. However, it can change from one form to another.Energy exists in two forms, potential and kinetic. Potential energyis stored like a roller coaster poised at the top of a hill. When thecoaster starts moving, it converts this energy into kinetic, energyin motion.

People in the workforce are a lot like the coaster atop the hill, fullof potential energy, untapped until put into motion. We call thistheir Discretionary Effort. Almost all employees on their first day ofemployment are ready, willing, and wanting to give their employer thisdiscretionary effort. Unfortunately most employers are failingto tap it.

Here are some possible causes:

Allowing sub-par performance to continue

Motivating by fear, incentive, pressure

Lack of trust, time and attention from leadership

Little or no feedback

Unclear expectations and measures of success

Lack of opportunities for input Lack of development and training opportunities

Antiquated management philosophies and practices

The Knowledge Worker

During the Industrial Era, people were treated more like part ofthe machinery: something to be controlled that is replaceableand expendable. But we are now in what has been coined TheIntellectual Era, where we need to tap the intellectual capacity of ourpeople. But this intellectual capacity is discretionary - I will only giveit if you have fully engaged me in the work. And we only fully engagewhen we do things that we believe in and enjoy doing.

5 Steps to Take

1. Purpose People want to work for a cause Show them the greater purpose of your business and how

their work connects with it. If they dont see that cause,then THEY become their cause and it all becomesabout them. Do they know the purpose? Do you?

2. What gets measured gets done Employee engagement and productivity need to be

measured and monitored as often and with as much rigoras your financial measurements.

3. Evaluate your staff

You know who your A players, B players and C players

are. Evaluate them and put each on a development paththat is appropriate. Raise the bar.

4. Grow the person Your employees live a 24-hour life, of which you get 8,

10, 12. When they are with you, theyre still carrying their personal life with them all the challenges, fears, stresses, etc When you help them grow, as a person, they grow as an

employee. Help them become who you need them to be.

5. Create a rhythm of execution & communication

People want to know whats going on, and they want theirideas listened to. They dont even need their ideas adapted,

just listened to and considered. Create a rhythm of daily,weekly, monthly and quarterly meetings to communicate and

to keep them focused on executing. Keep them On Purpose.

Employee engagement is no longer a choice; it is imperative tosurvival. Stop running on 30% Power, or you will not survive.

MARKETING YOUR BUSINESS

IN THE 21ST CENTURYFor business owners, creating an effective marketing plan is a morecomplex process today than ever before. Business owners andtheir marketing teams need to find a balance between executingtraditional marketing strategies with evolving new media marketingstrategies. Decisions to place ads in the phone book, designbrochures, send direct mail, and place magazine or newspaper ads,must be weighed against their new media counterparts, like a website design or redesign, a social media campaign, e-mail marketing,search engine optimization and mobile search.

The best strategy is an effective blend of traditional and new mediamarketing. In order to understand the need for balance, its necessaryto appreciate the fundamental shift that has occurred on the part ofconsumers and how they make their buying decisions. Prior to therise of the Internet, marketing ones business was all about blastinga one-way message, created by the business, to a large targetaudience and hoping that message would resonate. With the rise ofthe internet and modern communication technology, that traditionalapproach is taking a back seat to new media engagement marketing.Technology provides the consumers of today with unprecedentedlevels of control in regard to the type of information they want to see.Consider TV. How many households DVR TV programs and fastforward through the commercials? In the past, businesses with theloudest voice and deepest pockets dictated the flow of the marketingconversation, whereas today the consumer impacts the marketingprocess by determining relevance.

Understanding the topic of relevance and how the consumer shapesand defines it is a cornerstone element to marketing in the 21stCentury. There are more than 90 billion searches per month onGoogle. There are more than 1.6 billion search queries per day onTwitter. Facebook would be the third largest country on Earth basedon the amount of people who use the platform. My point? People,consumers, are using modern technology: the web, search, socialmedia and mobile to get information. As they search, they have theability to comment on what they like and what they dont like. Theyhave the ability to share information with their personal networks.They have the ability to recommend or warn against a brand.

Sound scary? It shouldnt. Yet, it might if your business hasnot embraced the fundamental changes in how people arecommunicating, and does not have a strategy in place to have asuperior presence for your business within the new media landscape.The important thing to understand is that this fundamental shiftis well underway, and is picking up steam every day. It doesntmatter what you think, or for that matter, what I think, because thestats dont lie. More and more people are coming online every day,and more and more first impressions about a given business arehappening virtually, on the web or mobile web, rather than in person.

Whether your marketing plan already embraces the new mediarevolution, or if your plan needs some tweaking, what follows is achecklist of new media best practices for your business.

1. Make sure you have a modern, visually appealing web site.As a partner of our firm is fond of saying, Ten years ago, if you had a

web site you were cool. Now, youre uncool if you dont have a site.A recent article in Entrepreneur Magazine stated, you only haveabout 20 seconds to catch someones eye who is browsing your site.If you dont, theyll be on to the next site.

2. Ignore social media at your own peril.

Still think Facebook is just for sharing family pictures? Accordingto a recent study cited by Jay Baer at Convince and Convert, 64%of Americans cite a firms social media presence - both the brandspresence and what people are saying about the brand - as aninfluential factor in their decision making process. Be active on socialmedia, but dont go overboard. Its better to have a targeted strategyon a few platforms that can be sustained, versus trying to do it alland not being able to keep up with managing everything.

3. Content is king. Effective copy on your site, social channels, blogand in email is what powers engagement and leads to relevance.Without an effective content creation strategy, it is very easy fornew media tools to become static brochures. Commit to keepingcontent fresh.

4. Drop the check the box mentality.In order for your newmedia marketing strategy to work, it needs to be integrated into youroffline strategy. It is not a one and done type of scenario, like ok,I did my Facebook update today, Im done until tomorrow. Newmedia marketing is an ongoing practice that should be woven intoeverything that your firm does from a marketing perspective. As anexample, when you meet someone at a networking event and get acard (ofine), talk to them about connecting on LinkedIn (online). Bydoing so you will reinforce your brand message and create additional

touch points with your prospects and clients.

The sad reality is that many businesses deploy a less than optimalnew media strategy. The opportunity for those businesses that getit is huge. Commit the time and budget to capitalize on what the21st Century offers your business.
