Growing Business

People First SealPeople are tempted to believe that businesses are "things" – static, inanimate objects that revolve around cold, concrete things like profits and losses. But the reality of the situation is altogether different.

 

Businesses aren’t "things"; they aren’t just some means to an end. Businesses are dynamic, alive with activity and fueled by the human spirit. Businesses are all about people – the driving force, the starting point for professional success. When it comes to the workforce, your employees aren’t just a factor, they’re THE factor.

 

At Lannom Worldwide, we’re the pioneers in an era we refer to as the Era of Human Spirit Economics – the ushering in of the Age of Meaningfulness. And to do this successfully in YOUR organization, you’ve got to have your priorities in order; you have to truly understand what comes FIRST.

 

And despite what you may believe, the realization of success doesn’t come about by putting profits first. It doesn’t come about by putting politics first, and it certainly doesn’t come about by putting propaganda first.

 

The only way to transform your business into a world-class organization that’s a TOTAL success is to put PEOPLE first, and our People First® Leadership Training and Certification Programs are specifically designed to do just that.

Jack with group of peopleWhy Do Businesses Need Us?

 

His corporate coaching skills have been sought out by a slew of Fortune 500 companies, including:

 

  • Citibank
  • R & R Donnelly & Sons
  • Lincoln Financial Communications
  • Caterpillar
  • Knight-Ridder Newspapers

 

You don’t have to look hard to see that there are a number of companies struggling to get their employees (here, we call them Purpose Partners®) fully engaged at work.

 

According to a poll conducted by the Gallup Management Group, the numbers are downright frightening!

 

The majority of the corporate workforce (a full 55%) is merely clocking in, going through the motions, but very little else.

 

Another 20% are engaged all right, but not the way you WANT them to be.... Instead of engaging themselves in productivity and performance, they’re so miserable that they’ve become malignant. Left unchecked, that 20% can easily infect the other 80% of your Purpose Partners® with the cancer of discord and discontent.

 

Jack with group of peopleAll in all, only 26% of all employees are fully and positively engaged. These are the people that come to work early and willingly stay late. They never miss a deadline, they give clients and customers the kid-glove treatment, and are always on the lookout for new and better ways to raise the bar and show their stuff.

 

But are you really content to settle for a mere 26%? We didn’t think so.... We know WE’RE not!

 

At Lannom Worldwide, we’re nothing short of DRIVEN to bring about total transformation in the work place. We’re passionate about building a better world, even if it means doing it one person, one business at a time.

 

And we want you to be next! It all begins the moment you understand that


You Can’t Manage What You Don’t Measure
...And You Can’t Measure What You Don’t Know!

Jack excited with people

More importantly, whether you know it or not, how (and if) you manage your greatest human resources - energy and drive - Will Affect Your Bottom Line!!

 

Think about it:

Do you really know what your people – your Purpose Partners® – are capable of doing? Can you fathom what they’re able to accomplish?

 

Every single person in your organization contains unlimited potential. What you need is the knowledge and skill necessary to start tapping into it.

 

People First® Leadership Training and Certification focuses on arming you with the tools and techniques you need to pay attention to your Purpose Partners® on the personal, individual level BEFORE dealing with things at the professional level. There are no shortcuts here, just real, solid progress.

 

As the individual is transformed, you’ll watch as your entire corporate culture is revolutionized, morphing into an insanely successful breeding ground for inspiration, innovation, motivation, and enthusiasm.

 

Jack LannomBy the end of your organizational certification, every person you and your Purpose Partners® encounter will notice the difference and appreciate the change. They’ll wonder what your secret is. We hope you’ll help us share it with them.

 

Suddenly, your competitors seem irrelevant – not even on the same playing field!

 

Give meaning to your business and the people who hold the power to determine whether you’ll thrive or merely (possibly not even) survive.

 

Meaning arouses energy, and high-octane enthusiasm and desire are a force to be reckoned with, making your organization’s success UNSTOPPABLE!

 

Never forget: The BEST time to get People First® Certified is NOW, BEFORE Your Competition Does!

says it BEST:

 

Top Priority: People

What would corporate life be like if people came first, diversity was celebrated and everyone felt their work and ideas were appreciated? Would profits evaporate? Or would business performance actually improve?

 

The radical idea of "people before profits" actually results in healthier companies that perform better, according to People First® from Lannom Worldwide. This is definitely not just another motivational program. As our KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* Sales & Marketing group found during thecertification process, People First® involves approaching business from a different perspective.

 

We often get so caught up in brands, processes and profit projections that we lose sight of the fact that our people are our company. They're also the "face" of our company to customers, prospects and everyone else in the world.

 

People First® reminds us to genuinely value each person as an individual and to put people first - ahead of everything else. That means saying things that we find easy to say to our children but often find difficult to say in the workplace. Things like: Yes. Thank you. I need you. I believe in you. I'm proud of you.

 

As our group went through the 12-session certification, it was amazing to see people open up and respond to simple expressions of acknowledgment and appreciation. The key is that it has to be genuine. People First® philosophy emphasizes truth, wisdom and excellence in all things.

 

Starting with foundation values, we explored how to bring our values to life in our actions, empower employees to do the same, and create a legacy worth passing on.

 

Far from hurting profits, this philosophy creates an engaged, high-performance company culture that leverages the potential of every person, and makes it possible to attract and retain the best people. Improved profits are a natural result.

 

Even in a tough economy, these principles are strengthening our company as well as our business results. We now have energized teams of volunteers who focus on key program areas, and are determined to make People First® a continuing force at our company.

 

The reason is simple: it works. Today, our focus on people is a key element of our commitment to make KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* a great place to do business – and a terrific place to work.
