When Growth Matters !!!
Growth is the successful process or processes of effectively serving your customers needs. This requires selling the right products to the right people at the right time. It requires being able to change with markets, technology and the times. You'll need the right staff in the right places; staff that cooperates listens and works as a team. And you'll need to effectively deliver your products as promised, on time, and as your customer expects them to be and at a competitive price. You'll need to increase cash flow at a steady rate, as you increase your businesses size balancing cash flow with growth. And although this may sound easy here, it's not!

It's a highly complicated process fraught with ups and downs and personal issues between staff members, management, customers, vendors, and revenue. There's not a soul out there that hasn't needed a little help in life at times, as it's complicated. It's hard enough to manage a single relationship, let alone multifaceted business relationships. And the bigger the company, the more complex the processes are. We all get stuck in ways of doing things; as this is how we always did it or this is what so and so told me to do and on and on. People resist change, yet there is nothing but change in life.

Do you need some help changing things in your company to improve your growth? There is no better time than now to embrace change.

Management Lesson..!

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus depot, started his bus, and drove off along the route.
No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went
generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a Pathan got on. Six feet four, built like a wrestler, arms
hanging down to the ground.. He glared at the conductor and said, "Pathan doesn't pay!" and sat
down at the back.
Conductor didn't argue with Pathan, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing
happened – Pathan got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next
day, and the next..
This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way the Pathan was taking
advantage of the poor conductor. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body
building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become
quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So, on the next Monday, when the Pathan once again got on the bus and said, "Pathan doesn't
pay!"
The driver stood up, glared back at the Pathan, and screamed, "And why not?"
With a surprised look on his face, the Pathan replied,.......... "Pathan has a bus pass."
Management Lesson:
Be sure there is a problem in the first place before working hard to solve one.
