[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 667698, member: 927"] This is going to be a painful change, but IF done right a very positive one. District and Regions are much bigger than today with less management. District Managers will be held to a P&L statement AND service. (At least that's what Myron says. (By the way, Myron is a very good and smart man and responsible for this now). This has the potential to do two things.... First, less micro management becasue there is just no time. Second, make decisions that are P&L based instead of metric based. I've said before that metrics are good, but only if they don't get in the way of what the true goal is. These changes may truly focus the district on the right behaviors. So, the caveat is whether we really have good enough management who can think this way. This means that they would need to work under broad guidelines (like the policy book says) and make local decisions on what is right. We have a lot of management that only know how to work under strict rules... As I said in a different thread, this change is much, much different than things we have done before. The focus on cost should NEVER go away, but it has to be the right focus. This change may enable that. P-Man [/QUOTE]
