L.O.V.E. stands for…

Love is certainly at the center of most human pursuits.  To keep this post simple (and hopefully meaningful for you our reader) I am focusing on work culture.  Feel free to apply it as you see fit.  We all seek recognition and affirmation that we are making a difference.  This model is a simple reminder on how to live it daily, as an individual contributor or a leader:

L is for Liberating
Is your environment open and inclusive to allow people to express their unique gifts/strengths?  Or do people hold back for fear of being shut-down/laid-off? Make time to free yourself.

O is for Owning
Is your culture one of self-responsibility where people own their part and do what they say they’ll do? Or is it full of finger pointing and carnage?  Do you ask for what you want?  Remember, people can not read your mind. Be clear about your part.

V is for Visioning
Does your culture welcome stepping back and visioning the bigger WHY?  Or is it focused on the WHAT and the HOW and stuck on the obstacles in the way for the wrong WHY?  Take time to diverge before converging.

E is for Empowering
Are most choices/strategies empowering or take people’s individual sense of autonomy and contribution away? Are people asking more curious questions or simply pointing to what’s broken? Are you part of the solution or the problem?   Be clear about the “true” problem before solving for it.
