Need A Booster

 

We all need a boost. The glow from our new business opportunity will inevitably wear off. How we reclaim the excitement will define our ongoing  success. A booster helps.

Scare Tactics 

We attempt to frighten people. The wealth advisors use the scare tactic of telling people they can run out of money if they don’t follow our plan. Consultants call this the broken arrow test. It assumes that our next crisis will resemble our last crisis. That crisis remains in our memories. Unfortunately the past does not repeat. 

Business Script 

Business Plans are good for senior leaders. Unfortunately, they are boring for all others. The business meeting should avoid going over the business plan. Unfortunately, we need the plan when things go wrong. The leaders need to keep this reality in mind when writing the plan. We will forget the plan until we need it to survive. Bring your Highlighters to the meeting. 

User Manual

We need a relevant user manual for our new hires and their clients. Our current employee handbook is written by lawyers and remains unopened on a shelf behind our desk. It has helpful  information, but it is never opened. 

As we go back to work we might not need a boost. Seeing our colleagues and friends should provide enough motivation.
