~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How you can be secure and comfortable in a company without rules?

How long will it take your employee's replacement to get up to speed? No wonder companies assume it'll take 1-2 years before an employee "learns the job!" I've seen this scenario repeated frequently in Silicon Valley. http://www.SeniorManagementServices.com/pvt-78-without-rules.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a SYSTEM that eliminates excuses and embarrassment?

I've found that many managers don't get what they want from their projects - and they experience many endless frustrations! To develop good results, you must employ a tested and proven SYSTEM to produce the results you want on time... every time. http://www.SeniorManagementServices.com/pvt-8-got-a-system.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your business value may slip - if you don't watch out!

Put your business (or department) up for sale - although you don't intend to sell it! You might learn, at little cost, a lesson many business owners learn painfully: that the "value" of your business (or department) is a living thing, likely to shrivel without the care and sustenance it needs.
