LOL, Before becoming self employed, my management background is in fixing bad nursing homes. I have a unique prospective on the psychology of growth and development as they apply to the workplace and team building. Stages of development of a team from infancy to adulthood that helps me in making the decisions we talked about, and how to rate a team member; where they sit in the milestones they should have achieved. Do they trust management and to what degree, do they mistrust management and to what degree, on a scale of 1-10 (trust-Vs Mistrust) a successful employee should be above a 5 in the trust range on average, the closer to a 10 the better the employee. and Vice versa from management to the employee. We all fall below a 5 now and again, that's okay. In the aggregated if we are averaging 7 or above we are doing very well, If not you are likely not a productive employee or member of the team. if we reach a steady seven we have essentially achieved that milestone and are ready to take on the next challenges can move on and through the next stage of development Which is autonomy vs doubt. Which if you have an hour I can explain to you. LOL I'm sure HQ has their own ideas, but alternate universe wise if I spoke with them I think I could benefit. I think the fact that our company has been around so long, they can easily lose sight of their infancy, and fail to advance as a company or even see the milestones they need to achieve to be a well adapted team in a healthy psychosocial way. That is in my opinion where Igor had it so wrong. He was confused in his role and allowed himself to be somewhat isolated, which lead to many years of stagnation. He was the head frog for too long and once there failed to advance the species in a healthy way. Culturally, motivation isn't enough. Tony needs not just a rebirth of ideas it is my hope there is a reset of the developmental changes that allow for rapid evolution that comes with a new company but working each member through healthy stages of development. I believe these things aren't (Often) happened upon, they are actually a result of effort by the leadership.
