Think Globally, Act Locally
Does your staff really know and understand what you are talking about? If the company directive is to improve speed, does the staff understand doesn't that mean sacrifice quality? Often times as leaders, we know what we mean, but the managers and staff might have a very different idea. Did you know the word 'set' has over 460 different definitions?While attending a CHART conference last year, guest speaker Shep Hyken had the group write down nine words they associated with the word ‘run.' He then had us compare lists with one other person. A simple word we all know, but the majority of the group matched either none or one word with the other person. The point of the exercise?
