Basics before Buzz

By admin

My new book “Basics before Buzz – managing in an attention deficit society” is now complete and in the hands of an Agent.

Feedback to the manuscript i.e. the final edit, has been excellent. Most people agree that we have run away from the Basics in many businesses ie maximising customer relationships, leveraging the potential of our employees or internal customers, and finally developing ourselves. My panel also agreed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a message across in the current environment. Thus we need to be imaginative, different and together, to break through this communication wall.

It is no longer possible to excel unless we have leveraged the potential of our team, and that each member understands and accepts their responsibility in the context of achieving the company vision.

You can understand how I despaired when the following anecdote from a top class restaurant in England was brought to my attention.

The restaurant manager was moaning that she has had to look out a dirty window in the restaurant for the past ten years. She certainly shouldn’t need a motivational speaker to inspire her to execute this simple act!

It didn’t appear to process in her mind that she was a member of a team ; that she had the ability to take action that would move the organisation closer to their goals. No instead she chose to moan, her immune system and the organisation suffered as a result.

Basics in Business in this context – if it’s to be, it’s up to me!
