The fastest way to rebuild a team - Stop rumours

Sunday - November 16th 2014.  A lazy winter Sunday in Brussels.  

On such days I am just good enough to make some food for my lady and me and to watch a good classic movie. So we made some typical Belgian chicory with ham and watched the classic: "Mutiny on the Cain", with Humphrey Bogaert.  

The story goes goes about a destroyer crew in second world war where the second in command and his assistant take over the command from the captain in the middle of a a storm because they think the Captain is mentally unstable at that moment. 

The mutineers get finally acquitted, while the captain does not loose his image nor honor.

Apart from being a good old classic movie, the story and especially one personage are interesting, 

There is an officer on board who is an author and who started the rumor that the Captain was crazy and mentally insane, leading to the other officers to think the same and to act, but without him, because when the mutiny starts he does as if his noose bleeds and when later on he was interrogated in martial court he again did as if his noose bleeds, although inciting a person to mutiny is as important a crime as mutiny is. 

 

Such persons in a team who incite others to act without acting themselves are the real "viruses" in a team. They use sly means of creating doubts in good people, they spread negative opinions about others in a way that all agree or they bluntly spread out rumors on others. Mostly - unless facts are shown the light, one does not know them and wrongly accuses others who act against command.

Letting such people go unpunished is the fastest way to kill a team. One rumor spread out can kill in seconds the authority of a captain or a manager or any other person in a team and unless the "virus" is really stopped the rumors will continue and the team will completely disappear.

Rumors are not coming from Heaven, with all my respect for any religious identity there might be on this planet.  Rumors are created in vicious minds, out of the day light by people with - the least to say - interesting intentions.

And if one does not kill does rumors and one does not find the real source if them, mutiny or even shipwreck will most probably follow.

So a good leader has zero tolerance for rumors and works with FACTS.  

In our team whenever there is someone saying something wrong about someone else without giving facts, we immediately stop the person to give facts or to talk int he presence of the other.

Any other alternative is risky business.

Up to you to see for yourselves. But for me the fastest way to rebuild a team is to stop rumors.

A detailed moral code maybe the solution for many companies in troubles?

We live in a world were quite some youngsters, although very good people with good intentions, do not know anymore what is good and bad as behavior in their job.  Some even go as far as thinking that they can steal and do nothing and that the boss just has to give them a salary because of who they are. This is one of the - maybe intentionally wanted - results of a welfare state.

A lot of company owners and managers whom I met, face this attitude today of : "Just pay me because I am" and try to survive - or not to succumb - in an extremely competitive market.  

Motivation seminars, positive thinking seminars, productivity seminars and other management seminars are trying every day to answer this challenge, but the results of them - as I observed - are only partial.

Managers have to face the real reason of no motivation. According to me on of the real reasons of this is that youngsters do not know anymore what is good and bad.  Hence the necessity of educating youngsters in a basic moral code.

But since most of the university students I met or recruited in the last 10 years have difficulties to understand what they read, the education has to be done differently than 20 years ago.  The necessity of video and real life examples as materials in education are today more than ever needed,

So the solution to low motivation, immoral behavior in a company, according to me starts with :

1. Creating a basic moral code adapted for the company in video format with very clear examples and definition of the terms motivation, pro-activity, responsibility, good behavior etc.
2. Determining a justice system - without neglecting the local Country Laws- tailor made for the company when someone does not follow this code.
3. Educating all personnel in the code and the justice system via video materials and lots of examples.
4. Asking all personnel to sign this code and its justice system,.
5. Applying the justice system uniformly.

We implement this steps in different companies in Eastern Europe.

Possible solution for the pension fund problems in the West.

Will our kids ever earn enough money to pay our pensions?

A possible solution against the negative demographic effect on the welfare state.

Just came back from a conference on future planning of big economic players in Sofia, Bulgaria. ... Thinking about what was said.....

If one looks today at the pension fund prognoses of most western European countries for the future financing of the funds, one has serious reasons to fear the future loss of income and the total debacle of the western welfare state system.

One European pension fund expert, while having a coffee with me 7 years ago, even stated that his country does not have the funds to pay pensions anymore in the near future. And this was before the financial crisis.

Financial prognoses in most western European countries clearly show on the one hand the increase in the number of elderly, inactive people and the decrease in the number of active young people contributing to the social welfare system. This of course creates a negative saldo in the pension funds financing over the long term.

On the other hand, in most western European countries, there is an increase in the years of inactivity of people due to different factors which increase the lifetime expectation of the elderly people. There is at the same time a decrease in the time of activity of young people due to different factors allowing young people not to work and to study longer and to stay out of the labor market for a longer time.  This again creates a shortage in the pension fund financing over the long term.

Yes a solution, be it partial, might be to increase the working years of the labor market and to set the minimum retirement age 5 years later. But this resolves the problem only partially.

Students - via a deficient school system - are more and more misguided to "study longer" on the university chairs, making them less practical and less ready for action, if not totally inactive on the labor market. Especially with the level of education today in most European countries leading to students to become "parrots" or worse....

If any solution - different from increasing the minimum age of retirement as proposed in most western European countries - can be foreseen, I plead for an extra solution.

Let the students work in the industry from the age of 16 while studying at the same time in the evenings or afternoons. Provide the industrial world with financial tools for this. And help the students who adapt this solution. The financial investment towards this solution in the social welfare model might very well give a positive return on investment and stop the pension fund gap over the long term.

At the same time, due to more practically educated labor market the efficiency of the nation's industry might be increased giving it a competitive advantage.

I challenge the western European countries to do so.

Marc J. de Turck

People today make the difference when it counts.

Social media, digital marketing, web shopping, on-line training platforms, robots. ..... The marketing and sales world is full of it.
Those are indeed good solutions today to market and sell your products and services the easy way.  Today however in an extremely competitive market where most companies are on-line and most of them are familiar with search engine optimizations, social networks and landing pages PEOPLE will more and more make the difference.

The sales person today who still has the guts to telephone, to meet people face to face, who is convinced and who knows the importance in emotions which make people act, is worth GOLD.
It is the conviction and the attitude towards clients and prospects which gives today the biggest competitive advantage. And this is good news for sales people.
So sales people, do not hide behind your computer screens; go back on the street, meet people.
The world needs personal contact more than ever.

FreeBoss seminar in Kiev - after difficulties ends in a total success

Ukraine October 1st, while there is war in the Donetsk zone, Kiev looks calm.  Our partners of Olerom however where faced with another unpleasant situation. The founder and the manager where recently involved in a serious car crash and both where still re-validating from the crash.

So not enough outflow. Two days before the seminar the idea was to postpone the - today very well known - Free Boss seminar in Kiev.

But together with Olerom we disagreed on the situation and we postulated a miracle and ....  yes a small miracle happened.  In 2 days a lot of people subscribed for the seminar and we started finally with 11 business people. One even came from the Donetsk region especially to the seminar.

11 managers finally received basic L.Ron Hubbard data on how to become more free with a better management and organisation.

At the same time the Way to Happiness Booklet was promoted as a solution to the war in Ukraine. And yes all attendees could laugh again after the tone scale was explained.

I am happy to have helped again these nice people from Ukraine.

I wish all people from Ukraine peace.

drs Marc J. de Turck.
