Time for Some Changes? Okay, But Your People Want to Know "Why?"

Mid-management people, those who must execute better and/or differently, often don't truly understand WHY they should embrace change.

Today, retail owners must become better at addressing the "Why?" That means providing leadership, not just management.

Survival is balance sheet strength; nothing matters more.

Nothing!

(For more info for yourself and your people, start with "The Myth of the Bottom Line".)
