What should I rant about? Oh yes! SLOW people. Really? You want to lose that customer? Move slower! You want to keep entering that data by hand rather than following up on that IT work order? Move slower! And hey! While you're busy moving slower, fail to follow-up on those commitments your peers made to you to make things better. That ALWAYS helps.
This isn't about geography. It's about culture. In an increasingly fast-paced world, moving slower doesn't help. It lands people in the category of, "You're not part of the solution, so you're part of the problem."
So what's an HR Leader to do with this ilk? This week, I offerred to stop a project, since at the pace the person was moving, it clearly wasn't a priority. I also offerred to have their boss find them some help - pretty embarrassing since the guy has scores of minions.
So I end the week without the slowest cats in the herd back on the lead lap (to utterly mix a metaphor).
Have a great weekend, and I really believe the only reason to go slow is due to a new puppy.
