For a company vision to be fulfilled, employees should feel that they own a bit of this future, they helped create this vision, and they have added input to it. Managers start "losing troops in this battle" by not empowering, engaging everyone available by providing ownership of the company’s vision.
Companies must have their own vision, but employees must also have their own vision of how they can help the company to fulfil this vision. Once employees start aligning their vision and taking responsibility on how to participate in this mission, engagement is created.
Engaging and coaching employees is one of the most powerful tools a turnaround manager can have access to in a recovery situation. It is cheap and available, not requiring any further cash injection. Employees will perform better when there is a sense of ownership to what they are experiencing every day.

TRANSFORMING COMPANIES’S VISION INTO EVERY EMPLOYEE’S VISION

The Art of Inspiring Ordinary People into Extraordinary Workers
Lately I have been inspired by a person that makes a difference in other people's lives by empowering ordinary individuals and transforming them into extraordinary workers.
Harsh Shah, Senior Executive at Vantage Performance, has a passion for cultural transformation and as part of a turnaround process he includes a strong focus on empowering everyone on how to make a difference.
By that I mean, Mr Shah "listens big" to ordinary workers that have been working almost all their lives for that same company, dedicating their lives for that same employer. Mr Shah believes that those workers have and are the answer to most of his questions of what is affecting the performance of businesses.
Mr Shah also says that by "listening big" those employees that most of the time never have a chance to speak up start to feel empowered and engaged in this new future being created by the turnaround manager.
He points to the fact that a turnaround process can be shortened by inspiring ordinary workers to become leaders of their departments and example to others in the whole company.
It is quite interesting to think when one can inspire others and others inspire everyone.
Our Vantage Performance team is looking forward to interacting with you again.
