Clarify management values. Usually, management has not yet articulated their own individual values, let alone those of the organization. Determine where the Big Picture existed before, if it did at all. Crystallize the core business in terms of viabilities to move successfully forward to some discernible point.

If your company’s long-term business plan requires the acquisition, or retention of the uber employee then your business not only has a risk management issue, but it is likely not scalable. Talent is clearly a plus as long as it is a value add and not a business requirement.

Managers and employees with the most to lose are most fearful of change. Tie activities to customer outcomes (the tenet of Customer Focused Management). Rather than admit areas where information is lacking, employees often cover up, disseminating erroneous data, which comes back to hurt others. Their biggest fear is the unknown.

We took a risk once, and it didn’t work out. That was caused by previous management.

Quality is not something that managers assign others to achieve. Rather than assume all is wrong or right with an organization and take a defensive posture, management must view quality as essential to their economic survival or growth. It is not enough for management to endorse quality programs; they must actively participate.
