[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1084676, member: 45493"] Look, I truly do understand where you guys are coming from. It sucks, and there is a big problem of inconsistency from building to building, center to center. Sometimes, the problem comes down to managers who have thrown in the towel themselves....Take whatever email was sent down...don't care how it's applied to the operation....just want the numbers met...no thought involved. That brings me to another problem. Morale isn't on the spreadsheets. Happy workers make better numbers. It's a matter of managing the information that is sent to them. I see each level of management as a sort of 'filter' or 'translator' of the messages that come from above. Upper management is soo far removed from the day to day that they haven't a clue on how to actually MAKE those numbers. The center manager's and On-car's need to translate that to fit into the specifics of their operations. They need to filter out the BS, and get to the point. It's give and take. Sometimes, you just have to give up on one particlar statistic in order to make the other. There is no way possible to run a sustainable operation in ANY operation and hit or blow away the target goals that are sent down from corporate. The moment more management teams realize this, and put the most important things at the forefront, the better off everyone will be. But they've given up too. Upper management doesn't intimidate me. I could care less about their personal take on the specifics of my operation. I welcome them to come on down and attempt to run it better. You call me "Gung Ho" because you think I'm Captain Company. Not really, I'm just confident in what I do and the decisions I make. I'm not scared to make decisions. A lot of management are. And even though I'm not protected by a Union....They can't just go off and fire me for [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]s and giggles. But I appreciate some of the back-and-forth in this thread....when it was relatively mature. Moving on now, as this dead horse has been kicked enough. [/QUOTE]
