Comment on Difficult conversations: the longer you wait, the worse they get! by Jane Adamson

Liliana,
Your comment was an important one because I strongly believe that too many company value statements simply hang on office walls in an attractive frame instead of being used as a daily guide. Companies that define their values in the form of observable behaviors provide employees with real and important expectations about HOW to accomplish the company mission.

I hate confrontation so I find these kinds of conversations very anxiety producing. I found your suggestion of stating something like “Your violation of a core company value…” to be helpful. Now the concern is no longer my opinion but some violation in company policy that is indisputable. I’m going to keep this concept in my back pocket for the next occasion.

Rick,

Great and timely post. Especially in today’s slow-growth economy, it is all about focusing on the fundamentals – growing profitable revenue. You hit the nail on the head.

Very well said.

Thanks Jane – great post. Definitely the achilles heel of most organisations – both large & small. The key word for me here is execution, i.e. relentlessly pursing your goals. Invest in getting your people to improve their ability to execute – that’s where it all usually falls over.

I really appreciated your insight into putting the customer front and center. And also the section regarding execution and making sure the plan you are implementing actually has a chance of working.
Excellent blog.

It is perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read even more things about it!

These were all excellent points. I’d like to add one more. Even if everything else is in place, if the goals are unrealistic or unsustainable, you might be able to meet them for a quarter or two if you push everyone hard enough but you won’t be able to keep it up.

This is a good post. It is my job to do the marketing for Redhat linux. I have to tell you, I do a much better job when I believe in the product. It makes a huge difference.
