On a Role

Boston’s North End - 

A basketball analyst got it exactly right. His three-part prescription for improved performance on the court applies to organizations everywhere.

Employees must first understand their roles, then they must accept their roles, and finally they must be enthusiastic about their roles.

Most organizations struggle with role definition and clarity as well as with issues of employee “fit.” This tidy triad is a reminder that success in this context results from a process that includes both informing and inspiring staff in a constant, two-way dialogue.
