Remember, however good your business is today, tomorrow it will need to be better.
Make no mistake, if you don’t respond to the improvement challenge your productivity, profitability and people’s experiences will suffer. Your competitors will benefit at your cost.
So, as promised, here’s a simple thing you can do to be better.
As always, it’s practical, low cost and yet will still get people involved in the things that will make their workplace a better place to be.
Release your inner child!
You’ll know (or maybe even remember!) the relentless curiosity and sheer joy of exploring everything that young kids have and the never ending ‘why?’
Well, when something doesn’t go as well as you’d like, release your inner 4-year-old (not the tantrums bit obviously)!
Keep asking why until you reach the real root cause(s) of what happened. Then think what you can do to prevent a recurrence and do it!
