Part IV: Advice to fellow CEO\'s

Speaker A If you're frustrated about your organization talking about people poor performance, always trying to address those issues, wanting to grow your company, requisite organization and its underlying principles, if applied, I would say, would almost eliminate all those issues. One of the things also in the workshop that struck home and very specific, poor performance is always a result of poor assignments. And again, everyone, when they're hired for a job, they want to come in and they want to do the best possible job or performance for that role. And invariably what happens, we put people in the wrong role in a company, or they're just getting really poor assignments or unclear in what their role is in the company. Again, Requisite organization clearly lays that out how to address it, how to go about it, put systems in place, the processes. And if you can make that throughout the organization, then you're able to grow the organization, put people in the right roles, get the strata four, strata five people, and you can take off and enjoy life. During the recent workshop, we were talking about accountability, which generally is a big buzzword, and we all talk about accountability. One of the things that the deans brought up that I thought was very useful. Accountability also has to be tied to authority. And with accountability and with authority, you always want to make sure employees always know that they have one manager. They talked about a funny story, especially when you have project managers in a firm, and if an employee doesn't really understand who they're reporting to, that a master with two owners is really a free person, I believe. Ro one of the greatest things you can do with it is if you build an organization that has complete mutual trust within everyone in terms of the employees, the managers, the management team, how people are treated. Again, that's something that, when I read it, made tons of sense. And I said, if I can ever get my organization to 50% of that goal, I would be very happy. But not only that, I feel I have a responsibility to all the employees here. I think they would enjoy coming to work if that happens.
