Some times we are so busy looking at products, raw materials,
machines and the financial aspects of our plants that we may overlook some also vital
aspects.
This is a survey, not a test, for you
to feel how your company is doing in terms of:
- Leadership
- Creativity
- Quality
- Productivity
You may have your personal evaluation
in those terms, perhaps it is impressive! Now, dare to give this to some of your people,
not only those who are very close to you or have positive attitudes. I am sure you may
learn a lot about the image that your employees have of the company. I hope you are
interested, because those companies where this is irrelevant will disappear very soon.
Use a letter size piece of paper and
ask them to fill it out without their names. Ask them for any additional comments as well.
You do not need their names but their feelings.

If
there are at least some people who selected all or more than 50% of the cells, you may
have created the right place to work.
Creativity is usually a
result of a leadership environment where everybody feels free to share their ideas and
they know they will be listened to. If the creativity is a common place through all the
organization so it becomes an environment, then the quality must be a good value as well,
and productivity is present in their minds at all times.
A company where these
four concepts can be found as a skill, attitude, result and a part of the environment, is
the ideal place to succeed. Congratulations!
Next month we will
analize different situations and real life cases. Please write an email about your
findings in these concepts.
