STOP THE PRESSES! #5

by Rick Baker
On Apr 27, 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 Excel at Doing Deals after we re-start our operation.
 
How might we go about making sure that happens?
 
What if…
 
  • What if we feel so good about our team, our company, and our products and
    services that Every One of Us Promotes Our Company …that would help
  • What if we are confident enough to take the right risks and we are spirited
    enough that We Commit to Leading With Deals …that would help
  • What if we feel so strongly about the merits of action we rekindle a habit
    called We Celebrate Our Errors …that would help
***
 
You gave these things deep thought, creating plans so Every One of Your People Promotes Your Company, Your People Commit to Leading With Deals, and Your People Celebrate Your Errors so you and your people will with pride be able to say We Excel at Doing Deals.
 
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…
