Get buy-in for goals. If you keep pushing the theme, you start to see people buy in to it by actions. Actions speak louder than words. We’ve pushed a couple of agendas recently with getting LEED certification, and we’ve got several people moving in that direction. We had to incorporate new software, and one of the operations managers took point on that, and that was a little painful because people were used to doing things one way, and they had to learn a new system, but we felt like in the long run it would be best for the company. I’ve had to take point on certain agendas I’ve wanted to promote and they were tasked with pushing it through and getting people to buy in and execute for that plan.
We haven’t done a lot to get people excited about it. These are tools we need to adapt to be more successful in our business — that’s how I promoted it. That’s just what we need to do, and for the most part, it’s worked OK.
