Chapter 10

It was difficult to find a lot to relate from Ch 10 to my company. However, I did find this on DinEquity's website. It shows the importance they place on employees:

"We believe that our most important strength is having the right people in the right positions,
motivated to perform individually and collectively. We strive to provide a work environment
where all team members have the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to the
company’s success."

This statement says a lot. You have to have the right workers for the job if you want your strategy to work, and they emphasize that. They also encourage workers to contribute. This is unlike a command and control environment, where workers only do what they are told. Workers need to feel like they have contributed something if you want them happy. Happy workers make for a better implemented strategy.

  1. I think that fits very well with the 1st organization-building action described in chapter 10: staffing the organization.

  2. Sounds like a great company to work for! I would much rather be able to contribute to the company, rather than just being told what to do day after day.
