STOP THE PRESSES! #2

by Rick Baker
On Apr 21, 2010
You are the CEO.
 
For some strange reason a loud voice declared "STOP THE PRESSES" and everything at your operation, all the people and all the machines, came to a screeching halt.
 
But, you were unscathed.
 
So you took some time to rest and relax. Then, after doing that for a while, you became bored and you asked yourself:
 
"How should I get things back on track?"
 
"How should I re-start the people and re-start the presses?"
 
"What are the right things to do?"
 
As you stopped to think, ideas started to come to you…
 
***
Wouldn't it be great if We Enjoy the Time We Spend at Our Workplace after we
re-start our operation.
 
How might we go about making sure that happens?
 
What if…
  • What if our workplace has a 'hassle-free' atmosphere where
    winners Share the Right Culture…that would help
  • What if our people understand one another's talents and we
    Make the Most of Our People's Strengths…that would help
  • What if we ensure stress levels are under control and we
    Maintain an Appreciation of Humour…that would help
***
 
You gave these things deep thought, creating plans for Sharing the Right Culture, Making the Most of Your People's Strengths, and Maintaining an Appreciation of Humour so you and your people will Enjoy the Time You Spend at Your Workplace.
 
You wrote out your plans for these things so you could share them when the time was right.
 
You made a commitment to yourself…these things would be in place when you re-start your people and you re-start your presses.
 
You decided to sleep on it and see if any more ideas came to you.
 
To be continued…
