My Job
Who wouldn’t love a job in a chocolate factory?
Mean boss lady: This is your last chance.
Let a single chocolate go by unwrapped and you’re fired!
Chocolates will arrive through this window
Wrap them and send them out through that window. GO!
It starts out OK
But go south pretty quickly
Which they struggle to cover up because they are AFRAID
Boss: Looks fine here – lets speed it up!
Oh Ethel, what are we gonna do now?
Theobromine #FAIL
What if….
Customers like their chocolate boxes to be beautiful. You’ll wrap the chocolates so the boxers can pack beautiful boxes
I’ll show you how to wrap a chocolate in three moves. Check it out. Any questions?
Make sure to introduce yourselves to the kitchen team and work out the best way to manage the pace
The people in the boxing room depend on you. Make sure you talk to each other constantly to ensure we are making gorgeous little boxes for our customers.
Boss: How are you doing in here – the kitchen is ready to speed up – can you handle it?
“We had a big order come in – do you think you and the other teams can find a way to speed up so we make it in time?
Hey Lucy, I love this job.

emotional commitment to the work

HOW TO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES:

2. Make sure people can effect the outcome of their work
3. Commit leadership to balancing mission and profit
4. Promote lots of communication – from leadership, to leadership, and amongst people
