Should Conduct

brain, every department within an organization works in the same

manner. Any weakness somewhere causes damage to the whole

organization, so you wouldn’t compromise loosing it anyway. To keep

the blood flow smooth, you need to keep the vessels, veins and valves

clean:

Run performance checks regularly and find out the root cause of

the problem

Rectify issues and potential threats to the organization in the

lights of the findings

challenging KPIs

slightly longer and bended path that has definite but possibly

constructive outcomes. Smart entrepreneurs understand that human

behaviors can be changed, but not with strict rules. Employees should

rather learn from what they did.
