Talent Demonstrated Not Time Served

Idea Architects

When it comes to staff hires or promotions and volunteer elections and appointments, it's long overdue that we shift emphasis from time served to talent demonstrated.

Yet, too often the mere fact that one has been present for a number of years is seen as necessary and sufficient for hiring, appointment, or advancement.

Metabolizing Motivation and Progress: We Wait Too Long

Idea Architects

By the time you're ready to give them a plaque, the volunteers are burnt out. By the time employees qualify for a sabbatical, their creative juices have run dry. By the time enough money is available for a perfect product, the market has moved on to new interests. We know that eating several small meals a day keeps our body's metabolism running more efficiently, yet we still skip breakfast, grab a bite for lunch on the run, and then gorge ourselves at dinner, only to lapse into a post-meal coma.

Meeting Design: What would make the intention more worthy of investment?

Idea Architects
