What if your boss was undercover?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your boss could observe how hard you work? Have you ever wondered as a business owner if your workers actually do work hard? There is a new show that provides the opportunity for both of these questions to be answered. Undercover Boss is a compelling show that addresses many themes. I recommend it for all business owners and entrepreneurs. There are many lessons that can be learned from viewing this show. For instance,

1. How can CEO’s improve their organizations based on what is happening at the grass roots level?

2. Are executives in touch with their employees’ needs and concerns?

3. Are managers at all levels delivering the same message throughout the business organization?

4. What is the moral like at all levels in a business organization?

5. Do employees have all of the things they need to effectively complete their jobs?

6. Are employees utilizing all of their time efficiently and effectively?

7. What would employees say about a company if no one was watching?

They highlight companies of all sizes, such as Waste Management (Larry O’Donnell, President and C.O.O.), 7-Eleven (Joseph M. DePinto, President and C.E.O.), Hooters (Coby G. Brooks, President and C.E.O.), White Castle (Dave Rife, Owner/Executive Board Member) and Churchill Downs (William C. Carstanjen, C.O.O.) and GSI Commerce to name a few. The show can serve as a free case study on organizational behavior, executive management and developing employee moral. You can see the show on Sunday Nights at 9:00pm CT on CBS.

Tis the season?

It seems like Thanksgiving and Christmas are some of the best times of the year. Families and friends that rarely get together have a chance to enjoy each other. People are nicer to others and everyone seems to be in a good mood. There is snow on the ground, there are holiday parities, ornaments, and lights. The holiday season is great for everyone…except most entrepreneurs in service related fields.

While people are out spending in the malls and buying things they cannot afford, certain industries tend to suffer during this time of year. Technology spending is down, and a lot of companies that provide services are suffering. The holidays represent a time when most people spend money on tangible goods, such as electronics, etc.

What should entrepreneurs in service related industries do? There is hope! Find a way to be the one that connects the consumer to the product. You should become the person that is the middle man. Tis the season to be creative!
