Movie of the Week – Home Alone

What happens when you aren’t there?   Does everyone play while the boss  is away?  Or does the place fall apart?   While it feels good to be needed,   did you ever think about what a management strength indicator it is if  things run smoothly when you are gone?   See Quote for the Week: for Managers & Mother’s Day.

Then – check out our Quick List:  10 Tips for Better Results When You Aren’t There. And when you are.

Just for fun, we’ve chosen Home Alone as our movie of the week.  It’s a reminder that a staff being left alone to problem-solve, like Kevin had to in Home Alone,  may not always be neat and tidy.  But, they may discover a bit of ingenuity they thought they never had. Something that can boost morale in many ways.

Grab some popcorn and remember Moms and Managers can leave the nest on occasion.  But it’s best when everyone is prepared.  See resource list below.
