Pressure produces compliance. Relationships multiply results.
Who brings their best? Someone who feels disregarded? Or someone who believes the boss cares?

5 Steps to Relentless Results
#1. Stop Stinking.
You’re a dead rat in the wall when problems consume your attention. No one gives their best for a stinker.
It’s not bad to see bad. But don’t camp in the stink. Success hinges on what you do after you see a problem.
Start with a problem. End with forward movement.
Do this: Design a forward step after discussing an issue for 10 minutes.
