I talked to two separate organizations recently who had completed culture change projects over the last few years. They both had measured their employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) when they started the culture work back around 2019, and then again this year. eNPS measures how likely people would be to recommend someone to work there, and it’s a great measure of overall engagement.

Hotel sourcing is a difficult proposition these days. We have short sourcing windows coming out of the pandemic. Hotels have limited availability based upon the number of rebooks they’re fielding.

Habit #6 stood out in particular: I had not heard of Jonathan Mann, but I liked this thought process so I looked him up. And I found an article he wrote about The 70–20–10 Theory on Medium. He is a songwriter and writes a song every day. Can you imagine? Some of his stuff had gone viral, but most of it has not which is what led him to the 70-20-10 theory.
