  • You want…We want the Team players the Grinders to stay with the team to make everyone and the company to build better and bigger. Talk to your team. I mean Talk to everyone get everyone’s input don’t put anyone down use the Insite of your team to gain more information on how to build a better team. Listen to them, lots of your team will come forth and give so much information that can be very useful to keep your team together plus build a bigger team. Asking your team what they think makes your team thrive because they feel that the appreciation and the feeling that they are wanted and needed, which can build your moral vibe so much to the point where everyone is running on full throttle.

 Second note when your team is not producing or they are not in the mind set of winning, this poses small bottle necks in the production of the facility. WE can see this when it comes to the authority in the shop or production area when they don’t believe that winning all the time is crucial it can create bad vibes that will resonate to the rest of the crew and in doing so this can cause essentially a bad apple in the bunch

• The first thing you should do to solve Production is…Talk to the team.
  • Here’s why… We got super busy in the shop i was managing during a panel project, and I requested a few field personal to help in the fabrication of the panels for a few days, in doing so I was crating and helping the team as much as possible when we were fabricating the panels so I would do spot checks on the field guys just to make sure the quality of the panels is up to my specs. While I was walking around, I was inspecting the corners, making sure no scratches on the face and the pop rivets are “popped” flat in the panel. We had two field personnel helping, as I did my walk around to both tables I said to the two guys as I finished my inspection “Guys you are doing such a fantastic job please keep up the great work”. Just by saying that as I was walking around gives the two guys more of a boost to keep working hard and staying focused. One of the field personnel said to me “Ryan if every boss would give the same moral support that you are giving then every work site would be a happier and more productive place to work. “I responded to that comment with a smile and said in return in my line of work we are not here to bash or put down anyone we all have to work together as a team and why not build bigger and better as we are all working together.

• Here’s how…When you approach a co worker and they are working hard as you can tell just say “it” (“Name”) you’re doing a great job keep you the awesome work. That’s all it takes to build the team up.
