What's Right Thoughts

In response to my "People Thoughts" posting, Rick Roberge asked, "what if we don't know what's right?"



The answer is: As a business owner, you'll very likely know what's right regarding people and their jobs when you're sure of the following:

• A long term goal;


• There is a clear CORE PURPOSE to the business;


• The business is based upon a handful of CORE VALUES;


• Your business is playing in the appropriate SAND BOX (product/market segment);


• You have a clear understanding of what it takes to be the BEST PLAYER in the sand box;


• You know how to make above average PROFITS IN YOUR chosen sand box.

If you're unsure of any or all of the points noted above, the odds of getting the people stuff right aren't in your favor. In fact, at some point you'll be relying on luck.

Good luck figuring out all of the above . . . just kidding.
