We can help with:
• I need more help, I’m just too busy to keep up.
• I will start fixing it once I find my tool.
• I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
• I’m too busy to train employees.• There must be an easier way, but
how?• Everyone has their own way of
getting it done.• I can’t find the part so express order
a new one.• There are not enough hours in the
day.
If we don’t change we will end up where we are headed…
