Building Productivity, Morale & Culture Amidst Disruption

elastic /əˈlastik/ - adjective: able to resume its normal shape spontaneously after contraction, dilatation, or distortion.

"Wouldn't that be nice right about now?" I bet you're telling your dog. Well it certainly would, but we're also willing to bet that it is possible to at least establish some new norms until the disruptions turn back to a 9 or 10, from the 11 they're in now.

We created the elastic program specifically to address the needs of people, teams, leaders and businesses experiencing significant disruption. Maybe you're an established business trying to bring your culture into the 21st. Maybe you're a scrappy new comer trying to tilt the balance in an industry ripe for change. Or maybe, you're just trying to get to place where your People, Morale and Culture are in a consistent. Consistently improving even.

We've adapted common sense approaches from psychotherapy, proven academic models and hard earned lessons from the School of Hard Knocks (there's apparently such a University).

More than ever, being elastic, resilient, in the face of disruption, is a valuable skill.

elastic is our monthly subscription you can stop any time after three months. It's built around our credo of building independence, not billing dependence. It takes all of our best work and distills it down to a very focused work effort to reinvigorate People, Morale and Culture.We work in a system of pods consisting of 1 functional manager and up to 5 key contributors. This pod typically works together on a day to day basis, even if they're on separate teams on the org chart.
They're assigned a Sherpa that will work with them individually and as a functional team once a week. Our Sherpa's are very much like their namesakes, showing, guiding and exhorting climbers on the path to the summit. Their years of experience help avoid pitfalls and teach new skills for coping with disruption.

The seed we plant revolves around creating happier employees. Study, after Study, after Study clearly highlight what every good people manager knows. Happier Contributors yield Better Results. (We should trademark that)

The shift from monitoring to leading, from work to results, begins with small gains.

As this resilience incrementally increases, leaders can focus on results, away from monitoring and management and "work effort". Resilient teams then create opportunities for incremental cultural adjustments.

Part Art of War, Part Good to Great, the next thing you know, you're consistently taking on new challenges and facing disruption successfully. People aren't strung out and everyone isn't spending inordinate effort managing risk and change instead of just being able to adapt to it or work through it.

And from one pod, you'll see these new learned behaviors and healthy habits infectiously (too soon?) spread through the rest of your organizations - and we can be the catalyst that accelerates that too!

We've done this before, around the globe, from small teams to multibillion dollar companies. And now we're scaling it to a  time when everyone and every organization is disrupted.

Let us help you establish those norms that will create the resilience you need to consistently rally through disruption.
