You may notice a new look and feel to my blog. I have been working with my blog Coach (Griff Wigley) to help me improve this site. I am using different software that will take some time to get to know, so I hope you will be patient.
The long term improvements should become more apparent as I figure the new system out.
One of the things that we strive for here in Davison is continued improvement, and I attempt to lead by improving the things I do also (as compared to wanting all our staff to improve and remain stagnant myself). “Good enough” is a culture that allows others to pass us by.
We don’t want to just survive; we want to thrive in all we do. This desire to be the best doesn’t always sit well with everyone. There are a lot of people who are content with “It was good enough for my grandparents and parents, its good enough for me”. But where would we be without people attempting to become better?
I, for one am glad that after may years of work, indoor toilets were improved with proper venting around 1874. Only because people were not satisfied with outhouses, stench and diseases that were the norm.
Henry Ford didn’t invent the automobile, but he did figure out a way to mass produce them and pay enough in wages that his employees could afford to buy the product. Or, how about Mr. Edison who did not give up on his research for a better lighting system?
Now, I do not compare myself with those great minds, but I do employee staff that I have seen some brilliance in.
So it is in that vane that I will continue to improve myself, even in the blog world.
