The diagram below (from the internet) makes “Old Thinking” sound evil. What if we redefine “Old Thinking” so it doesn’t sound so bad?
Redefinition:
- Employees are biggest risk - we have the best employees; competitors might attract them; let's take care of ours
- Top Down Communication - Ensure everyone is informed of the CEO's thinking and company's plans; no one is unimportant
- Skill Over Behavior - our customers prefer reliable products and services over our friendly apologies
- Manage Time - efficiency and productivity are key competitive competencies
- Rigid Working Schedule - don't work over time, make time for your personal life
- At Your Desk - we provide you with all you need and your own space
- Work for the weekend - work hard, play hard. Complete your work for the week so you can enjoy your weekend
- Corporate Jargon - precise terminology is clear and efficient; be scared when surgeons have the same vocabulary as litigation lawyers
- Double standard - demand more from the experienced; be more tolerant of those learning the ropes
- Fear of Failure - think things through; use risk management
Enrich shareholders - they are the moms and pops who have invested their lifesaving with us for their retirement
