1. Do you stand for company goals? Or do you fall for anything? If so, your goals may be a joke.
2. Do you stand for finding the winner? Or do you fall for anything? Read more about winners & losers.
3. Do you stand for taking responsibility? Or do you fall for anything? Hmm…maybe it isn’t your fault.

It will help everyone make better choices and decisions.
It will help you build productivity, morale and ultimately – the bottom line.
Instead of falling for anything.
