Spread Roots and Be Indispensable
It is our responsibility as in-plant managers to prepare for a future wrought with change by regularly questioning our product and service offerings and diversifying when possible.
"WE DON'T tell upper management everything that the machine can do. If they knew, well… (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) then there would be more work for us."
A colleague of mine spoke these words to me while I was researching a rotary engraving machine. I'm still amazed that he actually said that to me—out loud. I refrained from commenting, but on the way out the door I whispered to a staff member of mine, "If I ever say anything that resembles that comment, please remind me of this day, and I will gladly resign."
