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:

 

 

As you stopped to think, ideas came to you…here’s the “Right Things” you decided for your business future:

You wrote out your detailed plans for these things so you could share them with all your people. You made a commitment to yourself…these things would be in place when you re-start your people and you re-start your presses…when you re-start your business and STOP THE PRESSES becomes a very fond memory.

 

You were pleased with your accomplishment. You decided to sleep on it one more night.

 

To be continued…
