00:06 Number one, chip burr states that you always have to do the harder right than the easier wrong.

00:12 What does he mean by this comment and how does it relate to decisions that may have to be made in a business setting? number two, why a sudden change in leadership style and corporate organization can be traumatic on the employee.

00:25 Have you ever been in a situation where sudden change caused you stress or uncertainty? describe this situation and how it resolved itself.

00:33 Three, mr.

00:35 Burr sent the firm's then top 60 managers six questions about the pros and cons of the business and started interviewing each of them.

00:44 Why would mr.

00:45 Burr asked his manager questions about the pros and cons of the business? what type of information was he attempting to retrieve in his interview process? do you feel that this is an effective way of communication from a leadership perspective? four, is there another company that was in a similar financial, financial situation where something needed to be done to increase sales.

01:04 What measures were taken and were they successful? we're going to address each one of these questions and we're going to do them in order.

01:11 So we're going to start with number one.

01:13 So part one or question one.

01:17 Here we have that statement.

01:19 You always have to do the harder right than the easier wrong.

01:22 So oftentimes when we look at things, we can see what the right answer is and we might know what the right path is, but it might be hard.

01:31 The right path is not always easy.

01:32 It's often challenging.

01:35 And the easier path, the wrong path may be easier, but it's still important to do the right thing.

01:42 So this statement means that doing the right thing must be done for a better outcome, even if it's hard.

02:31 It means that doing the right thing is more important than taking the easy path.

02:40 Some people may end up doing the wrong way because they would think that it's that it is the easiest thing to do.

02:46 But in reality, it's actually harder than they thought because not just because it might be harder than they just thought it was going to be to do that thing, but also because when we do the wrong thing, well, wrong things are going to happen, things we probably don't like that we're not going to have to fix or overcome or a mess we've made that now needs to be cleaned up.

03:08 And so that that hard path, that right path that was harder, would have actually probably been easier to just do that in the first place.

03:18 So the same thing with being effective and efficient in a business setting.

03:22 Although effectiveness trumps efficiency, identifying what needs to be done comes first or effectiveness and then finding a way to do it efficiently.

03:32 So you need to be effective first because you don't want to be efficient at the cost of effectiveness.

03:37 Because if your effectiveness goes down, are you really being efficient? so effectiveness comes first.

03:52 You have to be effective and then we can make things more efficient.

04:15 Therefore, doing the harder right is the best option than doing the easier but wrong to avoid more risks or could cause a lot of problems or trouble and time.

05:11 Question two or part two.

05:14 Why a sudden change in leadership style and corporate organization can be traumatic on the employees? have you ever been in a situation where sudden change caused you stress or uncertainty? so sudden changes in leadership, in leadership style, and corporate organization, or new leadership can lead to employees who are overly stressed, have less trust in their employers, and have a greater desire to find new jobs.

06:52 So i have been in this situation, and it's before where a new print.

06:59 Principal came on board.

07:01 And it does create this stress and this less trust.

07:06 The less trust in the employer comes from the fact that i don't know this person.

07:11 And if you've been there a long time, i had not, i had not been there that long.

07:15 But if it's somebody that has been there a long time who was used to things being done a different way and maybe that supervisor, whoever, that leadership had been there a long time as well, there is a lack of trust because you the leadership is actually the new person.

07:32 And you have this feeling of who are you to tell me how to do things when we've been doing it this way for x amount of time.

07:41 So like i said, i have been in this position where a new principal came on.

07:45 And there was some apprehensiveness there despite the fact that i hadn't been there all that long to begin with.

07:51 But it still was what is going to happen.

07:53 Things did work out well.

07:56 I'm at a different school now, but it still is one of my great.

07:59 Greatest fears.

07:59 I love my principal.

08:00 I love our admin.

08:01 I love our staff...
