Be On The Watch For These Signs of Stagnation ...
I once saw a sign on a wall that gave seven comments on the signs of stagnation. They are:
- “We’ve never done it that way before.”
- “We’re not ready for that yet.”
- “We’re doing all right without it.”
- “We tried that once before.”
- “It costs too much.”
- “That’s not our responsibility.”
- “It just wouldn’t work.”
Have you heard yourself saying those things before?
The sign made me ask myself how many times do I say these things to my staff? Of course, when I say something like that, it may be true, but if it stifles the employee’s creativity, my business has taken a step towards stagnation. If you repeat the writing on the sign on the wall too often, the writing is on the wall for your own business.
