Read from an executive stack of insider tactics ...
President Keith Jennings writes a monthly column, “From the Manager’s Desk,” in the industry trade publication, Cutting Tool & Engineering
And it is certain that from somewhere within these short "Manager's Desk" columns, your most skillful business stratagem will quickly emerge.
In fact go ahead and get ready to scrub your shop floor of all those pesky, uncalled-for crises that like to rear their ugly heads (read: preventable problems).
Why?
Because Jennings writes from Crow's fifty-three years of hindsight added to his two-decades-plus on the ELT around here (Executive Leadership Team).
He has been at the forefront to: Resolve. Innovate. Explain.
So what can you find here? You'll glean:
- When's the best time to tweak your biz
- How you can dismiss clamoring salesmen like a pro
- Who should identify potential “red flags” in an RFQ
- When it’s a good time to peel sketchy employees
- And why security isn’t the only reason you need to install cameras in your shop
All of those real world topics and many more that impact your shop Jennings identifies, and quickly expounds.
Because you don’t want to hobble through one of these handicaps when it bolts through your shop doors in 2015 do you?
Then read Jennings' stuff and make your coming 2015 shop problems vanish like scrap copper.
