Feedback

Well, we just finished our first sales period for the year here at the Doubletree Hotel San Jose. It seems really crazy to me that one third of the New Year is finished. As we wrap up the selling cycle it is time for the group and the individuals on our team to take an assessment of how we did. We have a mix of tremendous effort, new ideas, engaging new partners, cutting costs and adhering to best practices. Overall the team remains strong and focused and ready to respond to customer, co worker and partner feedback. Embracing social networking and trying new things has been the highlight of the year. I ran across a recent blog article I thought was worth passing on….

We are on a mission to continue to improve personally and professionally. Perhaps there is a little Tiger in our team too!

Engagement Invites Feedback

We all want feedback…
We want some indication of where we are and how we are doing. We want to keep our finger on the pulse. See if we are alive or dead…

Feedback can be used for reinforcement and continuous improvement…
A company wants feedback from its customers and employees want feedback from its supervisors. They want confirmation or be able to take corrective measures. The worst scenario is not knowing either way. That leaves you status quo. There is no such thing as staying the same. You are either getting better or worse. If you are not getting better than your competition is closing that gap, which is in turn making you worse.

Tiger Woods Relentless Pursuit of Perfection…
I just had lunch with Hank Haney, who is Tiger Woods golf coach and he told a story about how all of these players were saying they were working to be the number one player in the world. After reading one of the articles, Tiger looked at Hank and said… “Do they not think I am going to get any better?”… Hank went on to say… the only thing Tiger concentrates on is getting better. He said he never has once heard him mention breaking any record or making any certain amount of money. If he continues to improve, the other things will take care of themselves. That is why Tiger is the best.
