Best practice worked elsewhere — you are here.
Best practice worked because it fit there. You are not there. What the training gives you is the general answer; what your business needs is the specific one. Told through thirty years of walking into rooms no framework had described.
Don’t cut jobs — SWIVEL
When trading gets hard, the reflex is to cut staff. It is usually the costliest opening move available, and it removes the capability needed to recover. What to do instead.
