Chain of command was respected.<\/li>\n<li>Formality &#8211; My dad was referred to as &#8220;Mr. Finley.&#8221;\u00a0 Men wore ties and women wore skirts with panty hose.<\/li>\n<li>Work Ethic &#8211; You arrived on time and were ready to go when the proverbial whistle blew.\u00a0 &#8220;Work ethic&#8221; meant you gave 40 hours of work for 40 hours of pay.<\/li>\n<li>Motivation &#8211; You worked for pay and benefits and that was good enough.\u00a0 If you had fun at work, that was a bonus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong.\u00a0 Dad was a progressive manager.\u00a0 He actively promoted women to leadership roles and endorsed extensive professional development opportunities for all staff members.\u00a0 He was highly respected and well-liked as a leader in his industry. Still, my conversation with him reminded me of how things have changed.\u00a0 Here are a few of the &#8220;new rules\u201d as I see it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Success comes from building relationships. Often that means that the chain of command may not be as relevant as it used to be.\u00a0 It&#8217;s who you know and who trusts you that allows you to get things done.<\/li>\n<li>The world is less formal and more relaxed today.\u00a0 We rarely call people by their surnames and in many organizations we observe casual dress. Still, we must be professional, which is defined by the organizational culture.\u00a0 Those who are most successful today\u00a0are acutely aware of the cultural expectations of their organization.<\/li>\n<li>The concept of &#8220;work ethic&#8221; has morphed.\u00a0 &#8220;Because I said so&#8221; is no longer a good enough reason for expecting an employee to do something.\u00a0 Workers today demand to know the &#8220;why&#8221; behind a request and often won&#8217;t be motivated to tackle a job until they see the big picture.<\/li>\n<li>The Gallup Organization and numerous other research organizations have shown that today&#8217;s workers come to work for pay, benefits, and a whole lot more.\u00a0 Recognition, affiliation, challenge, and opportunities to acquire new skills are all on the list of motivators for today&#8217;s workforce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I challenge you to consider how your workplace is different now than it was in the past.\u00a0 While my Dad was a successful leader, even he admits he\u2019d struggle to lead in today\u2019s new environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My father, William Finley, and I recently\u00a0compared views of the world of work.\u00a0 When Dad was\u00a0the President of SCF of AZ, the workers\u2019 compensation agency of the State of Arizona\u00a0(he retired in 1987) there were certain &#8220;rules&#8221; that everyone in the workplace lived by.\u00a0 They were the &#8220;laws&#8221; you followed if you wanted to get [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":1263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hr-tips"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
