Reminders

ACT NOW: Tell Congress to stop massive NIH budget cuts!
Unless Congress acts before January 2nd, automatic across the board cuts to government programs called “sequestration,” will slash budgets at the NIH by least 8% or more. Sequestration will severely stifle NIH research, cut jobs, and delay cures. Take 3 minutes or less to tell Congress to fix it. Send a message to your Members of Congress via this link.

    If having a particular team member was critical, for the team to be able to obtain useful outcomes to the problem, I would not start the session. If this is not the case I would suggest that the team works on the problem and the missing team member is included only if a follow up session is necessary. My reasoning would be that having a team member come in at a later stage is just as bad as a team member wanting to leave early. It has the same disruptive factor. I have coached a session were a potential team member indicated that they would have to leave early and as he was not critical to the team, I asked him to exclude himself from the session.

    I definitely agree with all the comments that lead us to trust the team to decide how to handle the absence and re-integration of the team member. Also, I like the questions that focus attention on how we define an emergency as a group. I would also ask some future oriented questions about what our guidelines should be in the future when a crisis pulls a team member away. What norms will the team agree to with regard to cancellations? Would it be appropriate for the missing person to send an appointed replacement for one session? How does a missing member impact our progress? How will absent members be informed of session outcomes? How can we inform our supervisors about the importance of being fully committed to the Action Learning process? and so on.

    Hi Anonymous,In general, stock trunover ratio is an efficient way to point out overstocking. You can calculate the stock trunover ratio by product to identify which products are overstocking.anyway, can you share your case to me so that we can further discuss?

    All of these can be important at times, reuriqing some of our attention. But the truth is, many of give give up time on things when, in the big picture,a0it really doesn’t matter. We tend to focus on what’s easy, comfortable or enjoyable instead of what’s important (which, in my opinion, should almost always center ona0this.)
