Vikings, Drake and whole lotta fun!

Where...The Minnesota Vikings Taste of the NFL Celebrity Dinner. This annual event benefits hunger relief programs here in Minnesota.

So, there we were chit-chatting with all the great football players for the Minnesota Vikings, including a transplant from Christian's old stomping grounds - New England! The hubby was in happyland for hours! Special thanks to Nancy for hosting, Brian for the invitation and their wonderful Guests who welcomed us! We had an oppulent evening! I even got to meet Paul Douglas and Belinda (and almost roped them into hosting an event together in for St. patrick's Day!!!) Enjoy the pics, we had a blast taking them!

Culture

The Leadership team has the ability to create a culture unto itself, regardless of company missions and vision statements. When you, as the Leader, take the time for your teams development, be respectful by holding your team accountable and communicate your direction you are setting the tone for Culture. The definition of culture is what we do around here in order to succeed and look good! Staff members identify culture quickly. They know what it takes and what it doesn't for them to be viewed as valuable to the Leadership team.

What does it take in your organization to be viewed as a valuable productive member of the team?

*Does it take you being present, or simply you showing up?
*Does it take you participating, or simply listening to a leader talk?
*Does it take you getting your part done, or simply making certain you know who to blame if things go wrong?
*Does it take you validating member learning, or simply making sure they went to the latest and greatest seminar in town?



When what it takes and what you envision are conflicting or potentially negative, it's time to take a second look at how your leading.

Remember, although one bad apple can spoil the lot, if you take care of that one bad apple quickly the rest are capable of thriving!
