Priceless! |  | |
If you've ever worked for a boss that reacts before getting the facts
and thinking things through, you will love this!
A Steel company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new
CEO.
The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.
On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall.
The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business.
He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, 'How much money do you make a week?
A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, 'I make
$400 a week. Why?'
The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, 'Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back.' Upon the young man's abrupt exit...
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and
asked, 'Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here? '
From across the room came a voice, 'Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.'

Don't Compromise Hiring Standards
By Harvey Mackay
Standards. We may not think about them much. But we all have them. Individuals. Families. Companies.
From time to time, we're forced to measure our conduct against our standards. We may find when we do that we're not living up to what we profess to believe. I'm talking about what happens when a business cuts corners, makes compromises, takes "the path of least resistance," contrary to an established policy.
The classic case is the company that purposely lowers quality in order to save money or grab market share, hoping not too many customers will notice or be turned off. The Cadillac nameplate has never quite had the same panache since the Cimmarron debacle, an attempt to pass off a jazzed up Chevy as a kind of junior Caddy.
But as bad as "Quality downsizing" is, there is a worse kind of compromise: lowering your hiring standards. From the day I put my name on the door of Mackay Envelope Corporation, I knew there was only one way I was ever going to survive in an industry in which the products and the machinery that made them were all essentially the same. That was by putting together a team of quality people.
Identical products plus identical people equals identical results. If I was lucky, it would translate into marginal success, and if I wasn't, total failure.
So my standard was...Read more |

Excerpt from the book "Schools of FISH! 
by The Official FISH! Philosophy Page
For Amy Amsden, a kindergarten teacher at Gage, The FISH! Philosophy matched her own philosophies. "FISH! is about better relationships," she says. "I'm the first adult my students deal with regularly in school. That's why it's so important for the class to spend the first few weeks establishing a family. Once that's set, everything falls into place."
Still, several months into the school year, Amy felt she didn't have time for "one more thing." Besides, having set her class routine already, Amy wasn't sure how well her students would really understand The FISH! Philosophy. "I told Chris Streiff, 'They're not going to get it. They're only in kindergarten.' Chris said, 'You might be surprised.'"
Amy thought about it: If her kids did understand it, maybe FISH! could help with other demands too. "They have to be reading by the end of the year and it really forces me to pick up the pace," Amy says. "These children need academics, but they also need the social component, and we're taking away the time needed for that. FISH! helped us."
The external changes were minimal (Amy made only two changes to her room: she bought a stuffed fish and put up a poster). Internally, however, the classroom transformed.
