All loans get down to critical issues
Here’s another example of partners investing in each other’s success. I know of a company that paid to have consultants teach strategic planning to their employees’ union.Many members of management were dumbfounded when they heard about this. They wondered why the company would pay to have the union become more organized and stronger through company-provided strategic planning. When the question was asked of the CEO, her answer demonstrated her high PQ: “In the next round of negotiations with the union, I want them to know what their members want so we can get down to the critical issues that are facing our industry. Neither side wants to drag out these talks. It’s an investment in our management’s time to have the union be strategically prepared for these negotiations.”
