Let’s ask the questions that matter: ❓ 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 dream of hiring drivers not just to fill seats, but because they align with proven behaviors that drive safety, retention, and success? ❓ 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 demand better than "good enough" when it comes to building stronger fleets, lowering claims, and improving safety ratings? ❓ 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 challenge the mindset of "this is how we’ve always done it" and embrace Predictive Hiring and the Star Behaviors, LLC 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺—tools designed to deliver measurable results? ❓ 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 believe that by solving retention, we can eliminate the so-called 'driver shortage' myth and build a thriving, sustainable fleet? ❓ 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 ask: Why risk your career and your fleet’s success by clinging to outdated practices, when the real risk is inaction?

I can recall my department manager who guided me through a formal strategic long range planning process. As an engineer getting caught up in analysis paralysis mode, I was so grateful for his mentorship providing guidance on the importance of strategic thinking and contributing to a plan. The best strategic war room experiences occurred when participants had shared experiences where metaphors and analogy quickened the process. This article brought memories to the forefront of the necessity of being well read to use metaphors or analogies to enhance the team experience. If you found this article to be useful for strategy, you may also like these: “Wrong and Useful: Models and Metaphors for Strategy” by Jacqueline Whitt and “How Strategist Really Think: Tapping the Power of Analogy” by Giovanni Gavetti and Jan Rivkin.

Hey Managers: Stop calling your team lazy When your team members don't want to work long hours, it doesn’t mean they’re lazy. They have lives beyond work, and respecting that is crucial. A team delivering 40 hours of focused excellence is far more valuable than one offering 50 or 60 hours of mediocrity work. Remember: 👉 It's the quality of work that counts, not the quantity of hours spent. Happy Sunday! #managers #delivery #exellence

Day 14: Building Extraordinary Teams – Lessons from Steve Jobs 🚀 Part 1. The Serious Disease with Managers 🦠 Steve Jobs called out a key flaw in many managers: thinking their role is just oversight, believing the team will handle the hard work once a great idea is presented. This detachment leads to missed opportunities. Fact: Only 18% of managers excel at engaging their teams (Gallup). Key Lesson: Great managers get involved, understand the process, and actively contribute to turning ideas into reality. Part 2. Great Ideas Are About the Process* ⚙️ Jobs emphasized that having a great idea isn’t enough; it's the process of nurturing it that matters. Fact: Companies with structured innovation processes are 6x more likely to outperform competitors. Takeaway: Create a disciplined innovation process with clear milestones and regular feedback. Part 3. Polishing the Rock 🪨 Steve Jobs shared a story about a man with a simple rock—just like a raw idea or business. It’s the polishing, the effort, that transforms it into a gem. Success comes from refining and improving ideas through persistence and collaboration. Facts: Angela Duckworth’s research shows that grit and effort are twice as important as talent for long-term success. Key Lesson: Create a culture where persistence thrives. Give your teams the space and support to refine ideas until they shine. Part 4. Great Ideas Need Great People to Bring Them to Life 👥💡 Steve Jobs emphasized that even the best ideas will fail without a great team. A diverse group with differing perspectives may argue or clash, but through that friction, they refine both each other and the idea—just like stones polishing into gems through contact. It’s this collaboration, with all its noise and disagreements, that turns ideas into extraordinary results. Research: High-performing teams are 50% more productive than average ones, according to Boston Consulting Group. Takeaway: Invest in building and nurturing exceptional teams. It’s the people, not just the ideas, that create success. Ready to build a team that executes at the highest level?

First off, I'm not falling asleep at work, that's just a terrible thumbnail 🙂 . Any production folks wanna lend me a hand? Note from the last week: Urgency and necessity are a bad combination so remember that there is great value in taking a measured approach to making decisions for many of life's milestones. It also helps to have a partner with your best interest in mind. #growthmindset #frictionless #operations #hrtechnology

Why running a family manufacturing businesses feels like an endless stream of putting out fires… I’ve been in the manufacturing industry for 20+ years I’ve been an engineer, plant manager & now consultant. Safe to say the number 1 leading factor to burnout is: traditionalism. The "we've always done it this way" mindset stifles any opportunity for solution thinking. Why can't the newer generations introduce changes if there’s a chance it can improve the process? Why do you suppose most owners are resistant to change? #LeanManufacturing #ManufacturingTeam #ManufacturingExcellence #ManufacturingIndustry

OPERATORS I AM THROWING YOU A PERFORMANCE LIFELINE.....! I recently heard a story that I find is all too common where an operator had worked for a business for over 5 years, had great success but the last years numbers were just not as good as they needed to be so they were let go!!! I know this happens, heck it happened to me in the past but here is the thing... 😠 The business landscape is changing and sometimes people need a new outlook or help to excel again! 😠 Think about that stable, high margin, high performing product you sell that starts to be less popular! You don't bin it - you put it back in the development kitchen and you tweak it! So why on earth would we treat our operators any differently! We have to stop binning and start developing! 😠 And if you do need to "bin" the person (at least be honest as to that's what is happening) then let them go with grace and pick up the phone to them once they have left! Dark thoughts, feelings of isolation and failure are common BUT avoidable if someone just cares! SO IF YOU ARE A BOSS WITH AN OPERATOR NOT PERFORMING please take a chance and send them on our Multi Site Leader Programme! Intensive 3 months but we will "rebuild them" in the words of the Million Dollar Man! It will cost you £3,495 but that is a damn site cheaper than comping and replacing AND it shows you care!!!! IF YOU ARE THE OPERATOR AND YOU KNOW YOUR RESULTS ARE JUST NOT AS GOOD AS THEY NEED TO BE and you have that feeling you are being "observed" then don't wait! Either start coming to our hangouts that are FREE for some learning or invest in yourself and put yourself on the MSLP! We will help you with a payment plan and hey we might even give you a discount!! We know it works! So please, can we stop throwing operators out with the trash when the numbers don't look as positive! Try everything you can before you pull the ejector seat!!!! Sometimes the ejector seat needs to be pulled that's just reality BUT WE CAN DO IT WITH COMPASSION - exhaust every possibility before you pull it! 😉 Bosses with a problem contact me for a performance solution 😉 Operators with a performance problem contact me for a solution Nothing to lose, everything to gain and all it takes is a conversation Lynda Merryweather Matt Howcroft Brian Bagnall Verity Milns Richard Tudor-Thomas Andy Goram Steve Lenagh Craig Wells Rob Johnson Warrick Hegarty Joe Whibley Jody Bennett
