After having a chat with Michelle Joseph of GPR Dehler today, she recommended I read an article titled "Are you big enough for your job?" (by Judith McMorland). The title caught my attention if nothing else!

So I have sourced it, and have included it here for your viewing pleasure...
Achieving and maintaining a dynamic fit between organisational capacity and workforce capability is a challenge that every enterprise faces in a turbulent economic climate. This article shows how a long-established theorectical persepctive - Jacques Levels of Work model - has practical application for managers seeking to understand and work with organisational complexities, especially for organisations undergoing change. It outlines Jacques' theory of requisite organisation (RO) and illustrates how organisations can benefit from getting people working at the right level and in the right-sized job for them.

Well worth a read I must say... (thanks Michelle)

Imagine a 12-year-old saying or writing something so readily applicable to the business environment, it made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Dick Eaton, LeapFrog Innovations chief energizing officer, said this was his experience after stumbling across a paper in his son Alex’s social studies folder.

The heading on the paper read, “How can we make group work successful?” Beneath it were seven bullet points:

share ideas work together share work evenly listen well follow the golden rule stay on task and be accepting

Simple hey! Now think about it...
Do these points always apply, even though we know they should?
Might be time to take note today...
