Human skills are the most important assets of any organization; therefore it is of great importance to employ strategic thinking to address issues of concern in this territory. Here are two critical strategic questions and areas of focus:

1.  How can people access their natural talents and skills by thinking correctly and progressively about:

• Their self-view?
• Their potential?
• Their peers?
• Their work environment?
• Their responsibilities?

It is crucial to accept responsibility and recognize that how one thinks about their own potential, their peers and their work environment is the main ingredient in achieving self-excellence. Most people tend to blame others for their “professional” misfortunes and that is a fundamental thinking mistake that prevents them from being able to access their own talents and skills. Training and coaching is absolutely necessary to upgrade and update thinking to a level that can handle changes and stress in an effective way.

2.  What changes need to be made in the work environment to encourage the best possible performance of the employees and truly make them feel part of a family?

• Trust
• Inter-support
• New paradigm for mistakes
• Encouragement
• Confirmation sessions
• Building feed-back strategy
• White space strategy

There are untold benefits to having TRUE family feelings in the work place. To create a family work environment it requires a focused effort with definite ingredients and fundaments that foster values, standards and code of conduct that people can trust, lend their support to and feel included.
