If words on a page don’t reflect how people act and behave when no-one is watching, then the words don’t mean anything. Adding people to the team changes the culture. In addition, people grow, and it’s healthy to reflect how the culture is changing over time. As an example, recently Remitly added Joyful to its cultural values. This has been a great addition to formally recognize something that is very important to creating an atmosphere that celebrates the honor we have to serve our customers. Hosted on Acast.

Management 2000’s clients exist in: USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India, Ireland, UK, and Germany.  We bring Performance Management Systems & Processes to our clients. These systems have two parts which need to work together. One is the dynamics of business, which is beliefs lived. The second is the mechanics of business which is systems implemented and technology utilized. Every business needs a Vision Statement and then must know its top priorities for achieving the Vision. For companies using franchising those top priorities are: (1) locations open, (2) successful franchisees, and (3) very satisfied, loyal, frequent user, promoter customers. Theme: My job, role, function and purpose in my business life is to help people discover how to think the ways they need to think so their enterprise will be successful. In addition to my work in Management 2000 I have been a franchise of five Brands and the CEO of one Brand. Value for the listener: Discover the difference between thinking and having thoughts. Focusing on achieving results versus doing activities. Being an influencer. Getting people to inspire themselves. Top Leadership Tips: 1. Personal goals drive business goals. 2. Don’t make something matter that doesn’t matter. 3. Words matter. 4. Live the life you sing about. 5. Keep commitments, or they are not commitments. 6. If everything is a priority, then nothing is. 7. Integrity is a luxury until it is tested. 8. The difference between good and great is discipline. 9. Performance is more important than rhetoric. 10. Have an unwavering commitment to results. Two Books: 1. Peter Drucker - The Effective Executive. 2. Edgar Schein – Helping: How to Offer, Give, and Receive Help  Hosted on Acast.
