But the truth is that we should always be under construction. As leaders, we must always be "renovating" not just our buildings, but our processes, systems, people, and assumptions. It's when we become complacent and stop innovating that our customers truly suffer.
Maybe we need to post "Sorry, We Are NOT Under Construction" signs. Signs that communicate...
-we think our service is good enough and we don't intend on making it better
-we don't believe that our mission is really that important after all
-we think this is probably the best performance we can expect from our employes so we don't intend to push them
-we take for granted that you, our customers, will come back so we are not going to worry about how we treat you
-we know that getting better is hard work and we just don't have the energy for that right now
-we are comfortable not being the best at what we do so we just going to work hard enough to not go out of business
I think I'm going to make a new sign. "We are under construction...you're welcome!"

Thanks for visiting my blog. I found myself going back further and further, reading your posts. I doubt you will ever have a problem leading people. It is obvious to me that you inspire and motivate anyone you come in contact with. :)
Thanks, Toot!
My wife turned me on to your blog. We vacationed in Sanibel a few years ago. We are coming back next week! We are so excited. I know your blog has kept us feeling connected to the island while we have been away, thanks!
