It is like the chorus of a song, repeated by every owner I speak with?
Is it true?
Perhaps it is a bit more complex?
I think the common frustration which many owners are experiencing is the lack of mechanical aptitude within the general population. Technology has provided a means of “fixing our problems” with a screen rather than a screwdriver.
Yet the amount of educational resources and access to knowledge..including skills such as mechanical aptitude, has never been greater in all of human history.
What is really shocking is..none of that matters.
The reasons and events which have lead to owners experiencing these frustrations is of no value.
What is of value …figuring out what to do about it.
Complaining will not work!
Hiring from the same sources will not work!
We have entered a world where owners are going to have to create their own employees “out of clay.”
Today’s owner had better be figuring out how they can take ANY human off the street and make them worth more than their cost in a manner of weeks!
“That is impossible!”
“That will require too much training!”
“It can’t be done!”
Sure…everyone thinks that until someone does it. Guess what? Someone is going to figure this thing out! Why not you?
If you are in a position where you can’t market your services because your labor force is too small…this problem is the only one you should be focused on. The only one.
Would you be interested in a training program which could take someone with zero experience to usable in your organization?
What would they need to know?
No one is going to build this for you! We are going to have to do it!
What are the skills? What are the modules?
Let me know!
