Management Quote of the Week

"Managers must manage" Hal Geneen
This is a simple quote that says a lot. It doesn't matter what the economy, the market or the competition throws at us we must accomplish our goals. We must mange to hit our goals in any situation. This is taken from Geneen's great book Managing.

Stay positive

What you say has a big impact on your reps. If you do nothing but criticize a rep you will have a negative effect on their self confidence. I make it a practice to maintain a 3 to 1 ratio, 3 positive comments to 1 negative remarks. Keeping this in mind keeps me positive and lets me be supportive of my people. Their also has the effect of training me to look for the positives in people. Because the majority of your comments are positive the corrective comments will have a bigger impact on your people.

Keep making a difference!

Thanks Jim Busch
