Digg it UP - The Board See The Crescent - The Workers See The Whole Of The Moon
There are considerable benefits to owning a home-based business. Some of the benefits fall into a tangible category such as the possibility of increased income and more time available for family. However, there is an equally important category of benefits that could best be described as intangible. These benefits are difficult to quantify with a specific monetary amount but instead refer to the happiness and sense of satisfa

Picture the scene. The Chief Executive of Endangered PLC, Ms D Point in a doctors surgery in her local village.
• Receptionist: Ms Point, The Business GP will see you now.
• Ms P: Thank you.
Ms P makes her way gingerly down to the door of her Business GP. ‘Come in’ says a friendly voice in response to her gentle, if not hesitant, knock.
• GP: Good morning Diane, how can I help you today?
• Ms P: Well I am er…..a little perplexed and sick.
• GP: Go on (gestures the doctor) please tell me more.
• Ms P: Well. The board went away in the early part of the year for the annual strategy review. When we came back we did the 2-3 day road show to share this strategy with the workforce – as we do every year.
• GP: I see. (Leaning forward) So tell me more.
• Ms P: I just feel, well, that the workforce either don’t get it, don’t buy it or generally try to find ways round the objectives.
• GP: Well you can’t go round making accusations like that!
• Ms P: Why not?
• GP: Because I said so!
• Ms P: Well that is not exactly fair or rational is it?
• GP: Exactly (he says smiling)…………Now lets talk some more. Why do you present the strategy the way you do?

We’ve all had it happen.We’re pushing for a sale, really laying down the work and convincing a customer that our car, our prices, are the best deal they’ll ever get.We’re being honest and fair, trying to help the customer out, even disregarding the fact that we probably won’t make a buck of profit on this one. That today we probably will lose our shirt and maybe even our pants.But today we don’t care. Today

Giving gifts is an incomparable scheme, the goal of that is to bring a smile to the person who will receive the gift. In turn, it leaves a lasting impression on the person that tells how much you value him or her. No wonder why people values the idea of giving and receiving gifts.

Third Party Logistics Companies or 3PL Companies provide services by setting up and running logistics operations for other operating companies.

• GP: How you see something depends on where you sit. It doesn’t matter if it is a bunch of flowers, or a corporate strategy.
• Ms P: Perspective? (Pauses while gathering thoughts) So its like looking at the moon, the board only see part of it but the workforce see all of it.
• GP: Yes. Exactly. For the workers strategy is something done to them. A moment ago you didn’t like being told what to do, and furthermore as a board you can only see a small cross section of what needs to be done. To see the ‘whole of the moon’ you must firstly gain all of the perspectives. A good Japanese herbalist friend of mine says you must always ‘go to the place’ – until you do you will never truly know.
• Ms P: I understand what you are saying BUT (a look of horror in her eyes)….we have too many workers to manage something like that.
• GP: So what about a collective. No hang on, a forum?
• MS P: A cross section of business representatives to help us focus on the whole?
• GP: Exactly, and just think what that will do for morale, understanding, and completeness.
• Ms P: So what do I do next then?
• GP: (Writes on his prescription pad) I suggest you take one forum each month for six months. Then lets review the progress, but remember:
1. The more you know the less likely you are to be asked – so choose your team carefully.
