  1. As Einstein said, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.” Need to look outside the light and eliminate the insanity! Solid advice as always from Wayne.

    • Roly! Quoting Einstein on our website! That’s a first, Brother! Appreciate the wisdom. Thank you.

  2. Recent experience in not tolerating poor or mediocre performance just because someone has been a “loyal employee ” for “X” years. Set expectations and take swift, decisive action if they can’t be met. Only way to move organization forward.

    • It sounds harsh, Chip… But ultimately that’s what has to happen. It all comes down to people and how we will hold them accountable.
