Where Consensus Rules, Confusion Reigns!
Who is REALLY in charge of your business? I mean REALLY—let’s be honest!
Thinking about a phone conversation I had a short while back with a struggling business owner, I still get a little hot under the collar!
The owner was having serious and expensive problems with constant, repeat errors and had called me hoping, it seemed, for some kind of miracle cure. I had given him my best initial thoughts about a workable solution, only to hear from him later that he had polled his employees about it and they had rejected the change flat out. These, by the way, were the same employees who made the most mistakes, he said.
