What Can Men in Love Teach Us About Our Organizations?
In his book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,
author, Steve Harvey, describes
3 P's to tell if a man loves you.
All three must be present he says.
-
Praise:
He speaks highly of you
to others and gives you a title like
his "lady"," sweetheart," or _____.
-
Provide:
He seeks to provide for you
in many ways, especially financially.
-
Protect:
He wants to take care of you
and do things for you
Ex: open car door, empty trash,
defend you if you are in
a dangerous situation.
The 3 P theory can be applied to work.
We want employees to praise our organization.
We want them to speak highly about us to others.
In order for a company to sustain,
it must be profitable.
We want employees to do what
it takes to be responsible
and make decisions in
the interest of our financial well being.
Having employees who support our
vision, values and reputation is essential.
We want employees who will
protect these and take actions that
contribute to our organization
and its well being.
These 3 P's can also apply
to how the organization
treats its employees.
An organization should speak well
of its employees or volunteers,
provide for them and also look out
for their well being.
We can show how much love exists
in an organization by noticing the presence
of
praising, providing and protecting.
