Misguided Feelings of Pride and Loyalties
The first six months in your new endeavors are most critical. Those that cannot do teach , those that cannot teach teach gym , and those that cannot teach gym work at the chicken factory reports prominent management consultant and guru M. L. Labovitch. Much like the first six months in the life of a child – and the formative first four years so is the life and foundation of most business enterprises of note and merit. It is during these impressionable times that patterns of success ( or failure) are placed firmly in the minds , workers and customers of those who encounter the new enterprise. It is a standard maxim that first impressions are lasting and once formed are difficult if not impossible to shake off.
Very few businesses , organizations or even people will survive the first few years if the first few months – indeed the first few weeks are misspent. Yet many are “legends in their own minds”. They live by the maxim that everyone else knows less than them , rather than what can they learn. To them its like the Roman’s – once you lose face it is all over. Their biggest fears involve admitting that they might be wrong or that there might be a better way of doing a process or task. To them the biggest mistake , is not to correct a mistake in action or change tack but the phrase “I am wrong” or “I may be wrong “ or “What if you are wrong ?”
Indeed they may point at their star management point person with the proud phrase “You know….
that person … is self taught” without noting that the skill set of that person is below par and very substandard . Indeed the person may have the lowest of morals and record of accomplishments. Yet it is all based on misguided feeling of pride and loyalties.
