I’m not in the world of sales…though I have the responsibility of managing people. It seems we all too often put the bottom line aheadof the people. Be it a sale or a task. If we value, respect and invest in our people, we often receive the outcome we desire. I had an HR Director tell me once, “Mike, we don’t hire people to fire them. You work with them and they will fire themselves.” We are too quick too quick to call a “management” issue a “personnel” one! Just my thoughts.

While All Business sounds a little rough here, I agree. When they run out of gas it’s time for a change. When they won’t make the change, help them OUT!

When they lose it and want to stay, fire the bastards. Some will suck you dry if you let them, all the while undermining you behind your back. “Sell or Split;” that’s what I tell them.

Ron is so right! When they lose the magic they need to move on to a more magical place. Sadly, companies, retailers in particular hang on the “oldie moldies” remembering when they were good producers and hoping for a return of the same; NOT LIKELY!
