If this sounds mean, well, its kind of supposed to. No wonder so many people collectively groan when told they have to go to another “training seminar.” They have this preconceived notion that the seminar is going to be something they have heard a thousand times...and it often is, isn’t it?
I thought it. I admit it, I thought it. I can remember listening to someone who said something to the effect of “Customer service is really important. You have to treat your customers well.” I was then expecting a golden nugget of information after this, but, nope, the need to “treat customers well” really was the nugget. That’s when I thought, “No (kidding), Sherlock!” (Okay, I may have thought something other than, "kidding"-but you get the idea.)

Happy New Year to all of you! If you manage people, here are some resolutions that I hope you’ll consider for this new year: 1) Better Coffee in the Office: Listen, Folger’s was great for your parents and all, but in the office, isn’t it time for an upgrade? And please offer real cream along with the powdered stuff! (Have you seen what’s in the powdered creamer?)
Alright, so this isn’t really a completely serious resolution-but there are things you can do to show your people that you really do care about them, that may not cost as much money as you think-and coffee isn't a bad place to start! Remember, a happy office is a more productive office! |
