For those of you that read my blog and are part of a large
company I need help. We are a small
company (less than 15 employees) and we have been struggling with taking the
next step. We have some in the company
like myself who want to bigger and want to better. Then we have those that are content with
where we at right now, staying small and not growing, just remaining stagnant. I will say that we have this problem up and
down the organization. Take for
instance, we implement a new policy, there is an initial buzz and
everything goes well. Then as time goes
by employees get lacking and we find that we have to remind and remind and
remind. Does anyone else feel this way
sometime? I think we suffer from that
small shop attitude sickness. I like to
think that I really get along with everyone well, but maybe it’s me. Maybe I should be more of a dictator and less
of a friend. Same the other direction we
have higher positioning employees/directors who feel the changes we implement are unnecessary. “Why do we need to improve?” is a common
comment. Again asking does anyone else
have this problem? Do I feel what we do
taking the next step is premature? No.
Maybe it’s the staff. Maybe we
need to re-staff, or find that one member who can step up. I don’t know.
This has caused me great frustration as of late as I feel we are on the
brink of the next step. I am very goal
oriented and I feel that if I don’t have goals I really don’t have any other
reason to work. I have done my research,
I know what we need to do, and it’s just a matter of keeping the wheels turning. I don’t quit, I don’t walk away, I’m just curious
if anyone else out there has dealt with this type of sickness and has any
suggestions. Anyone made that transition from a small shop to a larger shop or even industry leader. Or maybe the better quesiton to ask when do you know you are ready for the transition?
