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.

Words for leaders

"A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking." Harold Fricklestein

As leaders it is important that we don't pass judgement on anything until we've reviewed all of the available facts. If something goes wrong, we need to look at the facts before placing blame. I was working with a manager who was ranting and raving about our production department because they had "screwed up an ad." and he was going to give them a piece of his mind. I suggested we get the details first and upon examination found that his rep had submitted the wrong ad. Had he acted on his initial conclusion. This would have done irreparable harm to his relationship with the other department impacting the level ofsupport his team would receive in the future. Follow Davy Crockett's philosophy of life--Be sure your right then go ahead.

Make A Difference.

Thanks Jim Busch
