| Business life will always throw challenges at you. Anyone involved in running and building a business will testify to that. There’s a whole industry out there that deals with books, tapes, seminars and CD’s offering advice on how to better deal with what comes our way. If we are honest all of us at times get a bit wrapped up with issues which in the greater scheme of things may not be as “life or death” as we think. The other night I watched a documentary on television that frankly was inspirational and served as a really good reality check for all of us. I make no political point here or offer any kind of comment on whether our troops’ role in foreign conflicts is right or wrong- that’s for people to decide individually. However the content of the programme illustrated acts of bravery from which I believe we can all learn. We hear a lot about “feeling the fear but doing it anyway” in business. The documentary dealt with the daily lives of a team of “searchers” in Afghanistan. Their job is to walk across areas of wasteland with metal detectors trying to uncover explosive devices that have been hidden with the intention of inflicting maximum damage. Sadly in the course of their jobs many of these brave young men and women who search out the devices as well as the equally brave people who try to diffuse them, often only in their early 20’s ,are killed or badly maimed. As one of their commanding officers explained “They really don’t know whether the next step they take is their last” Puts things in perspective, and yes business can be challenging but few of us will have to face this kind of fear in the course of running our Companies. I’ve put a picture on my wall of some of these people just to act as reminder that when things become difficult compared to what others are dealing with, what most of us do is a walk in the park. |

To be fair, I was a bit surprised. I know for a fact that the organisation spend a fortune on training their people and had hoped that they would have moved with the times in terms of their style and approach on the phone. Bottom line is that... |
