The Role of Negotiation in Culture

Jamie Notter

I spoke last week at the American Cleaning Institute’s national conference, and the attendees were generally from large companies, many with a global footprint. I was presenting on the findings from our When Millennials Take Over book, and one participants asked me about the role of cross-cultural differences. Digital, clear, fluid, or fast are going to be interpreted differently in different cultures around the world, so how do you manage those differences?

Work Doesn’t Have to Suck

Jamie Notter

In our first two books, Maddie and I were fairly traditional on the dedication page—the first one went out to our respective parents, and the second one was dedicated to our respective kids. So when we put out The Non-Obvious Guide to Employee Engagement last year, we took a different approach to the dedication: The reality in today’s workplace is that a large percentage of people simply expect work to suck.

Like Every Other Speaker, I have Virtual Options

Jamie Notter

I’m going to spare you the “new normal, uncharted territory, time to pivot” speech (I assume you’ve heard that enough).

Jamie Notter

When the pace of change goes through the roof, you will need new skills and new knowledge in order to adapt to the new reality.

The Importance of Decision Making Role Clarity

Jamie Notter

I’ve noticed that a lot of our clients are focused on decision making processes when they come up with action plans following their culture assessments. The action plans vary, but they usually involve an effort to clarify decision-making roles inside the organization. While everyone has a good general sense of who gets to decide on certain issues, it seems the devil is in the details, and everyone is not on the same page.

My Writing in October 2020

Jamie Notter

As you probably have already seen, Maddie and I announced that our company, Human Workplace, has now become part of the Association Success family of companies. This means big things for us, as we will be growing and expanding our offerings. Part of this will be a complete re-brand, however, so that has slowed down my blogging a bit this month–only two posts in October, but they are both giving you a hint of where we are headed.
