Lesson #3: Create a Fresh Focus For Your Company
| |
| The moment Joyce assumed ownership control of Tim Hortons, he knew something had to change. His hockey star partner had a good idea in the coffee shop, but its success – or lack thereof – was speaking for itself. Joyce did everything he could to turn things around, from expanding the food menu to include sandwiches and altering the doughnut recipes, to adding iced cappuccinos to the drink list. But it was not until Joyce stumbled upon a unique business practice that the chain would begin to take off. The company’s new motto? “Always Fresh.” |

Hypothetical Hockey
| |
| With the cancellation of the 2005 National Hockey League season, we could only think about hockey as there was none available to watch. It was an opportunity to think about what might happen if we changed some of the rules and apply the example to organizations that are (to be kind) less than effective. |

Managing Organizational Stars
| |
| What contributes to an individual's ability to remain a star? To what extent does past star performance predicate future star performance? And to what extent does a key organizational factor—colleague quality—help or hinder the ability to sustain star performance? The performance of stars is an important career matter for individuals as well as for managers who want to inspire, nurture, and recruit stars. |

Why Good Looking Mobile Home Parks Have Ugly Returns
| |
| Some mobile home park buyers have this erroneous idea that the goal is to buy a great looking asset. They even rate the parks they look at based on physical appearance. The star system is a good example. Most people think a five-star park is always superior to a one star park. However, the only real star system they should consider is which park is a superstar on cash flow. Because at the end of the day, all that really matters when you own a mobile home park is making money. Parks that make money are great, no matter how ugly they are, and parks that lose money are dogs, despite how cute their entry may be. And, as a general rule, the prettier the park, the uglier the cash flow. |

Leadership Tip: Dream On
| |
| Remember when you were a kid and the first evening star began to beckon in a slowly dimming sky? Were you the kid who said "star light, star bright, I want the wish I wish tonight?"
Did someone tell you to stop being "so childish" or were you supported in wishing your dream?
It has been said that without vision the people will perish. When we stop looking toward an ideal that we are reaching for the world becomes flat and stale. In all leadership development programs there needs to be a module on keeping dreams alive. |

Are you a Star?
| |
|
Can you be a "star" all the time - shining and twinkling high above everyone else, every day? I think a few remarkable people can, but much more attainable for most is being a "star" some of the time. |
