This one hits home for me, I face the realization that every once in a while I can’t change a person to proceed to the next level. My biggest fault right now is believing I can change every person every time. I need to realize I can’t and move on with progression.

I had a friend and family man working for us in a management position for several years. He was hurting our operation a lot. We had poor productivity, lots of turn over and production was stagnant for six years. Our backlog grew to over 4 million. Did I say he was a friend and family man? I had a friend visit and was talking with several of our employees. He said I needed to get this guy out, that he was so negative. So after six years of allowing this to go on, I fired him. One of the hardest days of my life. We have now passed last years numbers and are on pace for an increase of over 30% and turn over has decreased a lot! Thanks to my friend Larry Janesky for kicking me in the backside to do something I should have done 5 years sd go.
