"This topic caught my attention and quickly reminded me of an incident this week I had with a small business owner who was concerned about the productivity and profitability of her firm. As we talked I realized there were a number of areas she probably needed to address; however, I finally came to the conclusion that what she really needed was some simple, "obvious and mundane things" to address with her staff. Perhaps if I'd read your post three days earlier, I would have come to this conclusion sooner!" - Scott Nielsen
