Lean Times—A Call to Action!
If you spend enough time watching the major news networks these days, you can see a thread weaving through all the rhetoric, fancy graphics, pomp and circumstance. It’s all about OPINIONS. Everybody has one!
Every news program shares the results of opinion polls or seeks to enlighten us on a number of issues using a panel of “experts” who tend to leave most of us frustrated that no REAL solution is offered.
My opinion? You can’t run a business, a country, or anything else on opinions, nor can you effectively manage one that is bogged down in CHAOS! But, now and then comes a voice of reason, a breath of fresh air, a light in the darkness (if you’ll indulge me in a few clichés)—a viable solution that actually has enough merit to be taken seriously.
