There will undoubtedly be some conflict. Some may help change mindsets, while others can harm the team. Handling conflict correctly can mean making or breaking a team. #conflict #team #handle #make #break

A team is only a team when ideas can be bounced off each other and discussion and civil disagreements can occur. When no one speaks up or no feels comfortable giving their thoughts, its not a team. Leaders who control are leaders who do not lead. #team #idea #discussion

Similar to layoffs, restructuring is just layoffs with a fancier name. Except for extreme outliers, if people are let go and not moved elsewhere, then the business is in the same poor situation as it is with open layoffs and should not be praised. #business #fail #restructure

Layoff, except for rare outliers, should not be the norm in a business as it generally shows the business is failing in some manner. Shareholders should not be happy when people lose their livelihoods. #business #layoff #fail

People are not a towel to wring the most out of. People have limits, well-being requirements, and don't care to be exploited. While AI and other machines may not have this fallacy, they still have limitations. #employee #wring #wellbeing #limits #exploited

Projection can be dangerous for any relationship, home, or business. It is entirely avoidable if the one projecting desires to stop. There will come a time when the receiving party will have enough of it. #projection #business #life #relationships #dangerous

Build/Make or buy is a choice many companies have to make regarding software, equipment, materials, and even if they want to subcontractor work. Which is more cost effective and gets you the results needed? #build #make #buy #subcontract #business #software #equipment #materials

Change isn't easy. It is hard to change your mindset to something new, but there can be many new opportunities when you do. Allow the possibility. #change #new #opportunities #hard #mindset #possibility

How the employees are treated will reflect on output and reflect with the client/customer. Keep that in mind, leaders. Value your people. #leaders #employees #feel #treated

To be a good employee and colleague, it is important to understand the team dynamics and not just your own. #teamwork #employee #business #we

It's important to know if activities in the workplace are of value. If it isn't a value to a client/customer, are they truly needed? Could be, but you need to map it and determine. #value #activity #lean #business #quality

Lean still matters in the workplace, of any type, as there are plenty of wastes that occur daily across the spectrum of businesses. Sometimes, it happens without us noticing, which is why it is important to look. #lean #improvement #waste #business #look

AI can assist in customer service, saving time and money, but even with the potential benefits, people will still want a real person to interact with more often than not. #ai #customerservice

5 forces is a method to use looking at the external competition that can affect/impact a business. Understanding these can help in planning for success. #success #business #planning #competition #5forces #impact

It is important to be authentic as a leader, as character matters. No one is perfect, and that needs to be understood and embraced at any level. #character #authentic #leader #embrace

Training needs to be effective. Otherwise, no one will learn what is needed, and there will be no point. Mistakes will be made and something missed in the workplace as a result. #training #effective #learn

Using AI can help quality in the future through more automation capabilities, and this can be done for other functions such as safety. #ai #quality #safety #automation #capability

For the quality culture to exist and be successful requires all levels of employees to participate. It isn't just a compliance mindset, but much more. #quality #business #culture #success #participate

A dark triad or tetrarad exhibits 3 to 4 sets of signs that categorize them as such. You may interact with people in your life who fit these categories. If you do, it might be best not to. #darktriad #darktetrad

While having a process is important and sometimes critical to success, writing one solely for an audit or last minute will do little to improve anything. #document #audit #improve #process #success
