Beginnings and Endings

Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, is portrayed by two faces, one looking to the past and one to the future. Two equally important viewpoints.

The month of January is named for Janus and at the beginning of the year we especially tend to look forward in making resolutions for the upcoming year. While you may not care about mythical Roman gods like Janus, 2015 can be the year you resolve to be a real advocate of good beginnings and good endings.

In today’s workforce people are more mobile than ever. If not leaving the company, people are changing roles, teams and projects within the company. Which means there are plenty of opportunities for you to get the beginnings and endings of your work relationships right.

As you look to the past and consider co-workers that have been part of your world, how did you manage the beginnings and endings of those relationships?  Were you satisfied you did everything possible to manage or support their success? As you look to the future when new co-workers and teammates are added - how will you manage your new beginnings and eventually endings with them more effectively?

You want to do your best, because when you do your best at these new beginnings others will notice and it will positively impact their performance. And that directly impacts the bottom line of your business. Their success is your success.

You have at your disposal an incredibly powerful resource to help you - imapMyTeam®.

If you have not already done so, it is not too late to resolve to use imapMyTeam® more frequently in 2015. A little investment in time yields a great return in your people and relationships.

This time next year, when, as Janus suggests, you look back on 2015 and look forward to 2016 you’ll be happy that you did – and so will your teammates.
