Managing For Success

Our executive vice president asked his managers why we were so lucky in being successful? Each of them gave good reasons. Most businesses succeed, however, because they are well managed and not because they are lucky. Lucky wins lotteries.

The four principles of management are POAC: Plan, Organize, Actuate, and Control. A well thought out plan organized in such a way to keep focus and efficiency when activated will most likely succeed. Metrics are the key to control. When you know precisely what you are measuring you have the basis for getting the results you forecast.

Get the results you want for your organization and become one of the Jim Click Business Preferred Network partners. Working together we can help each other achieve a better Tucson community.

Listen and Learn and Succeed

Many times I find myself too eager to tell my story when I should be listening to hear your story. I think if I don't hurry and tell my message I will miss the opportunity. Sometimes, it's impossible to get your story told due to limited time constraints or it's not the appropriate time. We forget that there will be other opportunities and if we keep building on the relationship the perfect time will come for us to be heard.

This holds true for conversations in business and family. And, thanks to social-media, we have unlimited sources for communicating. I realize there is much pressure to get a sale made, get a point across, or defend yourself. Next time you're in that situation, think longer term and listen to learn how you can succeed with this person or group.

Listen to me and become active in our Jim Click Business Preferred Network and you will have many others listening to you.

Social-Media is a strategy of business development. You are already participating whether you know it or not. Become active in the conversations concerning your brand. Social-Media is conversation using the worldwide web and digital input.


Social-Media allows the customer to be heard and the customer is really the one person who can fire you by not ever using your brand.

This is the era of customer driven business philosophy according to Harvard Business review. Listen and respond to what the customer is thinking, saying, and doing and your brand will be successful!

Civility in the Workplace

For someone like me, civility is what my Mother taught me. Good manners and respect for others is an important contributor for more cheerful daily living. Cheerfulness is an important contributor to health. And, for whatever other reasons, I like doing it because it feels good to be nice to people.

My experience says that more civility in the workplace can also bring many more rewards. Too often I see employees treat each other with a lack of respect and tolerance. It seems as if everyone is too busy to be nice. It seems as if we treat those we engage daily as if they are not important to us. Personal reflection on this usually occurs after we have lost a relationship, a loved one, friend, or customer.

Do yourself a favor. Reflect now, honestly, on your relationships and see if you are satisfied on the way you contribute to making them positive. The rewards are outstanding when you use principles of civility like manners and respect.

I invite you to participate in our Jim Click Business Preferred Network where everyone is treated as the valuable relationship it is.

One Step at a Time

I attended an inspiring breakfast this morning. Good food and good people. The speaker talked about several ways to be successful. The one thing that I related to was the idea of being focused on the task at hand. Having a goal is important but making sure you are taking the journey one-step-at-a-time is the joy. Knowing that your actions have a purpose and you are giving it your best effort is the prize. If that brings you the winning trophy so be it, but, if it doesn't you will still be content and happy in the knowing that you have given your all and you have no regrets about the effort you put forth. By giving your best, you are the best! And, that is a feeling well worth having.
