Small Business Blog Marketing Biography
Ever have stuff fall through the cracks, meetings missed and follow through not there, or see fellow staff members make the same mistake over and over?
It happens all the time in virtual companies.
Why?The problem is each person sees themselves as operating in a silo, only responsible for the tasks on their list.
They forget to look at the bigger picture, that they are part of a team. So when they someone else in the company make a mistake, they just ignore it.
I had this happen just yesterday. I had scheduled an important meeting with another member of our staff and an outside vendor, but somehow forgot to dial in for the call.
So what did my fellow staff member do, who had the call on his calendar too?
Absolutely nothing.
He figured it was my stupid mistake, which it was, and he had no responsibility for helping me out. None. Zero.
Whoops!
Imagine if that was how professional football teams played. Now, I’ll admit I know next to nothing about football other than my father in-law played in college after World War II and was on an undefeated team at his college, and loved the sport.
But what I do know is this success tip: if one player has the ball, and for some reason fumbles it, the rest of the team doesn’t just walk away and ignore him. They jump all over it trying to cover for his mistake, to fix it.
