Are Fires of Chaos Consuming Your Business?
How many times have you heard an owner or manager say, “My title should be head fireman. I’m constantly putting out fires.” I sometimes wonder if these “firemen” have ever considered finding the source of those “fires”—the root cause!
I’ve come to understand you can’t have a fire if you don’t have a source. It makes sense that, if an owner or manager would take time to eradicate the source, the fires would be extinguished permanently.
