Fans and Employees

Interesting...while I grew up as a Cubs Fan in Chicago, I've also had the opportunity to live in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, and Baltimore. In each location, I still kept my allegiance to the Cubs.....still do. Dad will turn over in the grave when they win the World Series, and no one will know how to handle it...it's coming...some day.

But is there a connection between Fans and Employees? I think there might be. In Atlanta, when the Braves were losing, my children and I used to be able to go to the games, sit in the outfield, and never have anyone near us...when they started winning....that all changed. You could not find a seat in the stadium. Sorry Braves fans, if I call you "fair weather fans" the label sticks no matter what you can say.

In Baltimore, the fans are a little more steadfast. They continue to support the Orioles in a tough division. In Los Angeles....the story is somewhat different. Win, and you get support, lose....well....

What are your employees doing....today? Are you winning? Great! Keep it up! A re you not where you want to be? Are your employees engaged? Are they still "in the stands?" Or are they on the field with you? Do you have the right...supportive... team? If not, we need to talk!
