How Much Should You Expect From A... Change?
Page 2
We read about how different coaches prepare their teams for the season, the playoffs, the “big” game. One dwells on fundamentals while another focuses on low stress routines. We watch how the early victor in the playoff series has to be careful that it doesn’t lose its edge, get complacent.
These same thoughts, discussions, and philosophies are all part of what you as the business owner should consider. There is no “right” answer. What works this year may not work next year. That’s part of the complexities of managing any activity. The key is to remain open to new ideas, to realize that that things change; within the business, within the industry, and in the minds of the consumers who make up the market place.
But one thing stays the same. So long as you are attempting to accomplish results through the efforts of others, you must allow for the differences in abilities, effort, and desire. You must lead and to do so requires that you get the right people working on the same objective. You must get your “players” ready for when it will be their turn at bat.
Consider the successful mangers of the professional sports teams. How many were home run hitters or star quarterbacks, or the MVP of the NBA? Not many. The best mangers came from the ranks, maybe even the benches. They understood slow, steady progress; teamwork and getting the right person in the right position. They knew how to motivate and how to get small, positive, cumulative results from frequent changes. They had great coaches and managers helping them get ready.
Many small projects with small payoffs are an excellent training ground - and the results are cumulative - just look at Toyota. To flip the phrase uttered by that nameless politician; 1% here, 1 % there - pretty soon you’re talking about real money!
