The Cost of Efficiency
When a leader discovers his staff is buried under to-do lists while projects languish and deadlines pass unmet, it's time to look at how priorities are set.
Curtis realized the staff was setting priorities based on a first-in, first-out model, because they had no other way to choose. Company-centric goal setting changed the focus for every staffer and the projects began to get done on time.
The payoff was a team that sees the big picture and can set priorities effectively.
Curtis and Westec had a 20% chance of losing all of Giant's $300K annual revenue ($60K). Their effective handling of the crisis got Giant's projects back on track -- they retained them as a customer, and look forward to future growth.
