Best Practices Q & A - Part 8

Question: “I used the check list in your last news letter on Best Practices cultures and realized that our company came up quite short in a number of areas. Where should we begin to make improvements?”

Answer: “While to a degree it may depends on what, specifically is missing, we have found that the best way to start is by simply speaking and discussing openly the truth about the situation. However, it should be emphasized that it is very, very easy to fall into simply complaining, which does not work. Always, always place the discussion in a context of a clear intention, a clear vision of having the company perform better. This vision and intention has the effect of allowing others to skip the complaining and whining (if you prefer), and get on with the action steps that are needed.”
