Five Ways to Resourcing Success or Failure
Integrity
Understanding integrity and living by the code
“Integrity means doing the right thing at all times and in all
circumstances, whether or not anyone is watching. It takes having the
courage to do the right thing, no matter what the consequences will
be”…………… Amy Rees Anderson, Forbes, Nov 2012

……………………..and planning ahead
Planning
“Don’t make your own poor planning
someone else’s priority”
“Don’t make your poor planning
my priority”
Fear of Failure
The fear of failure (or mistakes) hinders not just people but innovation too
Good leaders lead
Great leaders encourage/inspire their team to lead with great ideas, great work and great results
Fear of Success
Innovation is key to improvement and growth, mistakes can have positive results
“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes”…… Oscar Wilde
“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than
a life spent doing nothing”……. George Bernard Shaw
Business Partnering
stakeholder management / engagement
…………why do we strive to understand the business yet
fail to educate them?
………why does Resourcing think it supports the business
instead of actually being a crucial part of the business?
Feedback
The giving and the receiving of feedback is vital
………what’s done with it?
…………………………what it’s worth?
Feedback
From where, to who

Learn, improve, change
