* WORNG – Not a typo…read on!
Our Nation is in the grips of a stunning economic downturn. Realists have addressed the situation with zeal, renewed enthusiasm and have engaged counter measures to help offset the situation. They are not in denial.
On the other hand, and the reason for the creation of the word “WORNG”, there are those who are unable to see the truth due to the devastating impact of the debilitating conditions related to the advanced stages of the “Ostrich Effect” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrich_effect ). These affected folks proclaim that nothing is wrong. Something is clearly wrong, yet these perceptually impaired individuals perceive the opposite. Therefore, worng is used in place of wrong. Now…there…all better…nothing is WORNG! Right?
Almost every industry has been seriously impacted by the effects of the economic climate. THAT is the truth. New business, retention of existing clients and other revenue streams have been negatively impacted for most business operators.
This impact has to do with economic conditions for sure. However, the bigger revelation is how underprepared most businesses have been to even come close to maximizing their true performance potential.
Two factors that have greatly contributed to performance potential actualization in this economic crisis;
1. Old School Clingology (Clingology is not a real word)
2. Advanced Utilization of False Assumptionology (Assumptionology is not a real word)
Old school clingologists have been convinced that "the way we have always done things" is still a viable counter measure to current market conditions. In other words, they still believe that doing things the same way as they always have will produce a different outcome. Einstein had a thought relative that form of bizarre thinking. He said it was a sign of insanity!
The school of false assumptionology is another failed business model. In the school of false assumptionology the business operator has created false notions about what success is or is not and in their mind their model is successful even in spite of obvious and quantifiable evidence to the contrary! I think Einstein's assumption is very applicapable here also!
What this economic downturn has done more than anything else is to expose fraudulent business models that were supposedly designed for "success"! Look at how many major employers are being crippled with crushing quarterly losses. It is incomprehensible to imagine what they must have been thinking prior to this stern test of performance potential.
Any business that is willing to engage some form of maximum performance methodology has at least managed to survive and many even thrive in this climate! How? By truly engaging the power that every business has...but so few effectively utilize.
For business that truly want to know how they are doing, they should employ a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunites and Threats) analysis done by a professional business consultant so that the business can clearly identify why they are or are not sustaining success potential in this economy.
The foundation upon which any business is constructed is the starting point for true performance potential. Most business were built on the shifting sands of arrogance and underinformed thought process. Shifting sand is washed away by the flood of economic downturn.
Strong foundations are built on the knowledge that the staff team provides the only opportunity for maximum success. Then by engaging a motivated staff that works together toward a shared vision of success the landscape evolves whereby maximum success potential is possible. Then the team must conjure up how to deliver previously uinimaginable levels of customer service throughout every department...every day! Then effective goal setting, motivational support and performace analysis enable the strong foundation to begin to build the maximally successful performance potential.
Help explode arrogance and denial that has crippled our economy and attack success solutions with strong and unflinching confidence. Something is wrong...but difference makers can change the landscape to a new and positive dimension in no time! As Nike says..."just do it"!
