It’s more than just cultural dialogues and politics. It is #companyculture and #leadership.

You want some way to predict what the future will bring, but the news is all about instability and #economic troubles. At least, that’s what we hear until October, when the news is all about how much money the consumer is spending this year.

With regard to #smallbusinesses, this post on The Discourse is really about managing the talking in your shop and around it. You want to impose some professionalism and standards because allowing others free reign on the talking means you are not in control of what people know about your business. It means you are not in control of your destiny. To keep control, you don’t need to “drop the hammer’ on everyone, but just demonstrate the standard you want by how you talk about your people and your competitors.

In the corporate world, as my example in the post demonstrates, it could be far more serious. You need your managers and supervisors to be on YOUR message. It is not a ball you want everyone to run with.

People have questions like, “How do I keep control of the staff without acting like a dictator?” and, “How do I maintain quality control when I have to be out of the store?”
APEX Deployment has the answers.
