Creating Your Remarkable Revolution

Want an Easy and Fun Way to Create Higher Productivity and Profits, Greater Workplace Satisfaction and Lasting Employee Loyalty?

Kevin Eikenberry

Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

It doesn’t need to be.

The Beatles sang ,

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

You can start a revolution – what we call a Remarkable Revolution – and that revolution will fuel higher productivity and profits, it will create higher levels of satisfaction (and lower stress and conflict), and because of those things – increase employee loyalty.
10-20% more productivity
But how you ask?

Later in the same famous song the Beatles sang,

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan

I’m going to give you the solution and the tools.

Isn’t revolution or culture change (or any change at all) hard?

How can you say this is going to be “Easy and Fun?”

This revolution is easy because it is about basic human nature. It is about a core principle that we all know, but too often we forget.

Here it is:

Everyone wants to be praised for their efforts and recognized for their results.

We all know this – and have known it for a long time. Even the most cynical, crusty, seemingly self confident person wants to know that what they are doing is valued, meaningful and matters.

But how often do we tell others that what they do matters?

According to Gallup research that is regularly repeated, fewer than one in three people can report any praise from a supervisor in the previous seven days. And yet, when correlated with a positive answer to this question in their surveys: “In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work” it is responsible for a 10% to 20% difference in revenue and productivity. (read that again if you need to).

Would you like a 10-20% increase in revenue and productivity?

And get this too, from the same research: Employees who report that they’re not adequately recognized at work are three times more likely to say they’ll quit in the next year.

Call it the big four – Productivity, Profitability, Satisfaction and Loyalty. And a Remarkable Revolution can fuel all four parts.

And all of it can change with simple, genuine, direct praise for who people are and what they are doing.

So it is easy – you look for the good, and you let people know you saw it.

Easy to do… hard to remember to do.

Until now (more about that in a minute).

Even More Powerful?

But what if you could amplify and extend the power of positive feedback and praise, beyond the role of the supervisor or leader?

What if everyone on the team were looking for and rewarding good performance and showing appreciation for people’s actions?

You don’t need research to know the increases in productivity would be greater than 10-20%.

Deeper, More Meaningful Reasons to Start a Remarkable Revolution

Beyond the “big four” reasons we have already talked about (though they are reason enough), there are deeper reasons to do this..

It is the right thing to do. You know it is, and we are going to give you an easy way to do it.
It allows you to lead more effectively. Regardless of your job title, you are a leader. And the best leaders coach and encourage – and they lead by example. A Remarkable Revolution helps you do all of these things.
It nurtures you as much as others. Think about how you feel after you give someone honest, genuine praise. Do you feel better about yourself? Are you more productive?
It creates an upward spiral. Relationships improve, energy grows, communication improves, skills are built. People flourish in a positive environment.
It is fun. Once you have some tools and some practice, few things are more rewarding than showing your true appreciation of others.

So how do you start this Revolution? What is the Solution? What is the plan?

Here is where the “Easy” part comes in. It starts with frequent hand written notes of thanks and encouragement.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you have, somewhere in your files or in some other special place, a note someone sent you, thanking you for something? I know people who have notes that are many years old. I’ve seen them framed, I’ve seen people pull out file folders, and even if they don’t have physical reminders, everyone I’ve ever asked, can tell me a story (with a tear in their eye or a smile on their face) about a time someone gave them honest appreciation and praise.

You could start on your own after reading this page and begin giving more praise – but do you have the tools and support to keep doing it yourself, let alone encouraging others to do it as well?

We created these pads, and the other tools in the kits below, because we believe that everyone has remarkable potential, and that to find and unleash that potential we must see it and be reminded of it.

When you are doing that for others you are making a meaningful difference in their lives.

When you help others do it to – you are starting a Remarkable Revolution, and you are literally, changing the world.

If you are ready to change your world, we are ready to help.
