I am struck how "Nobody talked to us" is at the top of the list. So simple and yet talking with people is forgotten time after time. BTW, I referenced your post in my blog today. <BR/><BR/>Rick Maurer<BR/>blog: www.changemanagementnews.com<BR/>website: www.beyondresistance.comRick Maurerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13020479551779452527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-88174081603150539332008-04-02T06:26:00.000-05:002008-04-02T06:26:00.000-05:002008-04-02T06:26:00.000-05:00Dodgers 3rd base coach Larry Bowa (an infamous hot head) got ejected from the game last night after an umpire told him to get back into his coaching box. Bowa threw a fit arguing and got ejected.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/2008/04/02/2008-04-02_la_hustles_out_win_larry_bowa_tossed-1.html" REL="nofollow">LINK</A><BR/><BR/>Sounds like MLB is trying to enforce that std work:<BR/><BR/>"Major League Baseball announced in late February that starting this year, first- and third-base coaches must not cross the lines toward home plate or the field until batted balls pass them.

I agree. When you make decisions from the top down, they are likely to fail IF you do not also consult the people.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the decisions must start somewhere, and the top would be a good place to show management is serious. But once you have the concept, you need to bring this to the people and ask them their opinion before you just implement something.<BR/><BR/>Mike<BR/><A HREF="http://www.leanmanufacturingsecrets.com" REL="nofollow"><B>Leam Manufacturing Secrets</B></A>Internet Marketing Tipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16038375745800897309noreply@blogger.com
