2006-03-12 - them thar hills

what does a leader do all day
if he is worth dead space?
make sure he is worth his pay
teach him, just in case
he forgot what motivates
those who do the work,
not more rules and harsh dictates
but every little perk

every thing that can be done
to reward the faithful ones
working in the office, in the field

those who deal with clientele
those who feel what books can't tell
those behind the scenes, so well concealed

those whose blood and sweat and tears
flow into the corporate gears
give the best of all their years
those hands in which the reapers' scythe doth wield

those who come day after day
do their job, receive their pay
seldom take the time to play
whose labors birth the mighty corporate yield

what in the hell is wrong with corporate America?!!?
Have they travelled to the state of North Hysterica?
Don't they see the cause?
these policies and laws;
they're nothing but a symptom of their sloth
why can't you build a team
that centers on the dream
of each and every patchwork in the cloth
of each and every person in the mix
why don't you fire the losers
those pushers and abusers
injecting their own egos like a fix
destroying creativity
killing off festivity
criticizing every chance they get
you'd think their job description was in debt
save your company from losses
make sure all the little bosses
make the rounds and interview the staff
teach them how to joke and make them laugh
and while they do just that
take a pen and writing pad
take the time to stop and chat
ask them what they'd like to add

learn the diagnostics of the their questions

clear your mind and listen to suggestions

check your ego at the door
learn what management is for

listen for the ways to cut expense
implement the ones that make most sense

do the things the competition does
and take it one step further just because
employees are the ones who pay your bills
without them you'd be working in the hills
