Address Business Issues

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

"It's a problem." You tossed
around the bed, half asleep.

Collect the, necessary, tools
needed to address the business
issue that's costing you sleep.
Most likely, it's stealing profits
as well. It's a waste of business
sources, your energy, and other
human resources to allow a business
issue to drag-on.

A business issue, problem, is
employees disregarding rules,
stepping across boundaries,
obsolete equipment, and/or suppliers.

Employees who do what they please are
bad examples to others. If they
continue, people will follow. Conflict,
confusion, flows from disrespectful
employees to everyone around them. The
negative energy fills the air.

Naturally, employees doing their jobs
become the objects of sarcasm. They,
eventually, produce less, and are
unhappy.

Sit the parties down, talk to them,
individually, and then together. Make
it clear that rule breaking will not
be tolerated. Lend or move people to
different departments, areas, permanently.
If negative behavior continues, dismissal
follows.

The business issue of antiquated equipment
can be difficult. It takes a toll on
employees, and profits. Address the issue,
move on with running a successful business.
The longer you put-off addressing the issue,
the more costly it becomes.

What employee wants to war-and-tug with
machinery, just to get a job done?
He/she will call in sick, often.

Perhaps, you have an in-house maintenance
team. It, still, takes time to get the
equipment running. Again, wasted human
resources, and possible profits.

A business issue with a supplier should
be addressed immediately. If materials
are less at supplier B, that particular
dealer is the one to work with. It isn't
personal, but a business decision. It
doesn't matter what the issue is with a
supplier, direct your attention to it.

Address business issues, and make your
life, business life, easier.
