Whistleblowers are necessary

Read on to see if there are any signs that you are missing.

Stop Enabling Problem Employees

Supervisors often lose control of the situation by trying to be understanding and kind about following the rules. They make small exceptions that end up becoming habits, and soon the rules are not enforced at all. It is important to be sensitive to emergency or exception situations, but it is equally important to enforce the rules with an even hand. It is an area where many supervisors struggle. This article suggests an antidote.

You received a pink slip today. After your recover from shock, you feel shame and embarrassment. You are in denial and disbelief.

My Aha! Experience
What is the turning point of your life?

Exceeding customers’ expectations?

If I hear "Oh let's exceed our customers' expectations" one more time I will scream. Usually my response is: ‘Why don't we just meet their expectations in the first place?' Too many times the marketing hype (the promise) does not always connect with the sales expectation set up by the sales team, which doesn't always translate into a service experience we were promised in the first place. We are often left disappointed, jaded and, if it happens more than once, cynical. Too many of us have stories of where we have been let down by businesses not fulfilling our expectations. We see broken promises, exaggerated claims, hollow offerings, no real value!

These Are The Good Old Days

You don't have to share the dirty laundry and all the details. But you can be honest, open and paint a picture that is true. People respect other people that open the kimono and tell the truth. And guess what, customers are people!

Becoming Fully Engaged - Facing the Truth

Denial Is More Than Just A River In Egypt

An incredibly high percentage of people are in denial. Something like 90% of alcoholics do not recognize that they have the problem and most will become incensed if someone suggests they do. Denial is the hallmark of alcoholism. Denying a problem never solves that problem. To paraphrase someone else, no snow flake blames itself for the blizzard, nor does a raindrop blame itself for the flood, and yet each plays a part in the problems.

The Sales Force with Over Achievers Who Don't
I think that many CEO's are in denial. Despite the struggles of their sales force, they continue to look at the pipeline and say to themselves, we'll be okay as soon as these deals close. But the deals aren't closing and with each passing day companies are less okay then they were the day before.

Ponzi Schemes and Steroids These are the Days of our Lives

When you step back and look at the leading economy of the world (the US economy), you can’t help but think that we have come to one “MAJOR FORK IN THE ROAD”.

Calculate the Cost of Shoplifting and Employee Theft

There is a basic formula for calculating total annual retail losses in your business, which will give you a fairly accurate idea of how much profits are actually walking out your door.

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Focus

Isn't it amazing how masterful we can become at denial, procrastination, and avoidance, constantly making excuses for why we aren't accomplishing the goals WE SAY WE WANT! A lot of energy gets wasted in this department. Usually there is far more talking and not enough doing. Far from criticizing, I believe many people generally have good intentions. Though it's maddening when I hear someone say it... I just don't have time... I honestly believe they think they don't have enough time or can't have it all.
