• Sam Khoury, an operations consultant to a TEC member:
Principles of employee engagement: -- Perform ... 100% of the time! -- If you make the same mistake twice, there is a penalty. -- Reports have to be succinct, very succinct. Did we or didn’t we? What info do we need to have to make a correction. -- Tough Love. Firm, but Appreciative! -- If I’ve asked you to provide me something, I’ll respond to it almost immediately. That means I adjust my schedule to be available when you will be providing it to me. -- If I show I CARE, they’ll walk over coals to make it happen.
The result, said the TEC member, is both Focus and Precision improved, as then did Attitudes.

Phil, If I had to pick one quote, (management trait), that I found to be the most consistently true during my career, it would have to be the one by Tim Weyenberg. Good leaders enable their people to do their jobs and create results by providing resources and running interference for them. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
