Greetings Team Credo-
This week’s motivation
comes from Norm successfully cutting costs.
In 2008, Norm's business had to cut costs. Instead of calling a big meeting and making a presentation, Norm sent an email, "We are going through the greatest economic depression of our times. To help bring down costs, now new pens will only be provided in exchange for fully used old pens. I hope you too will do all you can to bring down costs and help us tide through."
The next day Norm went to a meeting without his pen. But no one lent him a pen! They said, "Boss, we are going through very tough times and you need to keep track of your pen!" Norm realized that the message had taken full effect. With enthusiasm his staff went about creating innovative ways to lower costs.
This week, let’s focus on creating a small change that triggers more positive steps.
