Managing Resources is the Key to
Output
|
 It takes resources to produce output. The point
is so obvious it hardly seems worth making. And yet, so many of us
have faced resource problems in the workplace. Why?
In this month's featured video, Ed Muzio explains the connection
between resources and output, and presents a model that drives
higher output through more autonomy. It's a simple picture that,
once you see it, will forever change the way you think about
resources. (3:47)

I'm in one of those juice bar places. It's less than two hours
until closing time, and the young guy behind the counter is
watching me sleepily as I read the menu, at a loss for what I want.
Finally, unable to locate what I'm looking for -- a blend of fruit
and vegetable juices -- I ask what he recommends.
"The number 7," he tells me, "but the machine isn't put
together."
What follows is seemingly endless conversation -- although, in
reality, it probably only lasted a minute or two. Using careful
questioning, effective listening and just a couple of my
anti-anxiety relaxation techniques, I finally learn that the
vegetable juice machine is out of order this evening. The number 7,
along with any other concoction including vegetable juice, is not
an option. By the time he tells me this clearly, Juice Guy is
obviously agitated by my slow comprehension. I was supposed to have
made the leap myself.

Now Available: Make Work Great
In A Day!
|
Whether
or not you've already read Ed Muzio's book from cover to cover, you
may have been wondering how to bring the ideas in Make Work
Great to your own team at work.
The answer is here! Group Harmonics is proud to announce the
availability of our one day seminar, Make Work Great: Workplace
Patterns for Maximum Output, Minimum Stress.
In it, each participant works on his or her own workload. The
day is spent practicing new tools for understanding and discussing
one's own work, and becoming more clear and effective in
relating to others in the workplace.
One participant had this to say about the workshop:
It's the first time a single session has brought together
tools for output, and tools for relationship, that work together.
It's research-based, it's practical, and we're already using it at
work.
If you have a high performing team that you want to take to the
next level, or a new or reforming team that needs a kick start in
the right direction, consider Make Work Great to be your
solution. When it's over, your whole team will have a new
understanding of their work, and a new vocabulary for talking about
it!
