June 2011 Business Tips

We asked some of our "Grey Haired Gurus"™ for their best management tip; something that made a big difference in an operation and fast!

1.   "Good things happen when you take action.  Bad things happen when you neglect" -  John Addison

2.   "Many frontline managers (particularly supervisors) spend too much time writing reports or putting out fires.  Unlock their potential as a coach for employees and as a key to improvement of quality and process".

3.   "Improvement requires change to daily habits.  What new or "improved" daily habits have you incorporated into your routine recently?".

4.   "Lighten up a bit . . . promoting and encouraging laughter in the work place has a profound effect on productivity.  Less stress is also a great side benefit".

5.   "Do not focus on what people do, but focus on what gets in the way of what they do!".

6.   "Small incremental change programs succeed 80% of the time; large "big bang" projects succeed 20% of the time".
