Hotel Qualifornia
Quality Remix Song 2 of 6
by the Eagles and Adam Stoehr
Verse 1:
In a fit workplace hallway, high morale in the air
Staff thoughts and ideas, are being used over there
We plan ahead in the distance, to see our goals reach the light
We link our reward and recognition, to strategic sight
When we need new people, we make sure they think
About success the way that we do, so there is no missing link
We encourage our employees, and they’ll show us the way
To a future that is world class, thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel Qualifornia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Plenty of room at the hotel Qualifornia
Any time of year, you can find it here
Verse 2:
We make sure our people, commit to and understand
the link between our pretty pretty goals, and what we planned
The culture allows us, to take risks and break new ground
We can fall or stumble, and know we’ll be safe and sound
When you call up the captain, and say please think about my health
She says “We have a healthy workplace here, that’s tied to bottom line wealth”
And all the voices were heard from far away
Support for health and wellness, is built into our pay
Welcome to the Hotel Qualifornia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Living it up at the hotel Qualifornia
What a nice surprise, everybody tries
Verse 3:
Mirrors on the ceiling, to measure employee sat
They say “we have needs that link with this, and we want some of that”.
And in the masters chambers, we determine training needs
We make sure they support the goals, so everyone succeeds
First thing we remember, as they are running for the door
Is to check what they thought, and what we could do more
Relax said the veteran, I am programmed to share
I can check out any time I like, but my knowledge will be there ...Guitar Solo
Rewind and sing again…

Take me out to the Qual(ity) Game
"Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks, I don't care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team, if they don't win it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, at the old ball game."
Goal 1: Teeny Weenie Summertime Bikini
(or appropriate swimwear)
Many of us spend the months of May and June staring in the mirror, looking at rolls and bulges and wishing them away. Feeling comfortable in a summertime bathing suit (referred to in this article as a bikini/appropriate swimwear) is a common goal. Some of my family and friends will have more success achieving this goal than others. Let’s explore how we can maximize our success in achieving important goals. To do this, we need to answer two questions: “What is a goal?” and “What is a measure?”
King Henry VIII ruled the Anti-Healthy Workplace
I was recently in London England at Hampton Court Palace for a music festival. When King Henry VIII ruled England (between 1509 and 1547) he spent a lot of his time at this Palace. King Henry wasn’t exactly known for his “healthy workplace” practices. He ruled with absolute power, perhaps the last English monarch to do so. I spent two days exploring the Palace and reading a lot about the King. Three themes emerged about his “Anti-Healthy Workplace” leadership style:
