Thought Tweet #830

Thought Tweet #830 Continuously driving to deliver value to other people is important because it energizes people.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Continuously driving to deliver value to other people is important because it energizes people by providing quality shareholder experiences, quality employment experiences, quality purchasing and payment experiences, quality sales and collection experiences and all of these quality experiences are taken home to families at the end of the workday. Quality experiences spread. Quality experiences are contagious.

Thought Tweet #830.5

by Rick Baker
On Sep 20, 2013

Thought Tweet #830.5 If you are going to teach someone, first find out what they believe they already know.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Far too often, we jump into teaching. Far too often, we assume others do not know what we know. 

Far too often, we conclude others are doing things poorly or incorrectly because they don't know what we know.

More often than not, we waste time and 'make work' when we assume and conclude others don't know what we know.

We can remedy this by asking simple questions before we give instructions and lessons.

We should program our minds with a better reality.

Thought Tweet #829 Nurture and develop a successor for your business. Mentor this person. Partner with this person.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Make sure this person knows he or she is your most-trusted business ally. Make sure this person wants to be in that role. Do not assume…talk openly and regularly about succession…talk openly and regularly about needs and aspirations, both yours and theirs.

Thought Tweet #828.5

by Rick Baker
On Sep 18, 2013

Thought Tweet #828.5 You don't have to believe in gravity to fall and land on solid ground.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Gravity is a magnificent facet of Nature. And yes, it causes us to fall when we misstep.

And let's not lose track of the fact Nature also provides us solid ground...so we can stop falling, pick ourselves up, and start again.
