Very good thought! Jonathan,

I think a “Fully Functioning Scorecard” is a very good idea - I predict it would not only effect team performance, but also its satisfaction levels. Very good thought!

I've found that these concepts not only change organizations for the better - they also help improve the lives of the individuals in the organization outside the work arena. Thomas,

Great comments - I agree with your observation of the overlap between Good to Great and Carl Rogers’ in relation to the value of authenticity. I’ve found that these concepts not only change organizations for the better - they also help improve the lives of the individuals in the organization outside the work arena.

Many organizations may come across this wisdom but not implement it for one reason or another. I think that creating a self-monitoring and pier-monitoring system is a great idea. Dr. Higley introduced me to this idea. Creating a score card of these seven items I feel could be a possible solution. Write down the seven criteria with definitions for each on the side and with a scoring system associated with each one on a chart. Have the employee fill out the chart then have the adviser or piers asses his assessment. Then rewarding employees for doing well and boosting your team's performance is important. Giving them a reward for going above what was expected is a great way to improve moral. This method seemed to work for me in my group and I hope this comment helps.
