Attention to Detail

Some events have transpired related to my business in the past few days that have me thinking a lot about attention to detail.

I have known people who became so caught up in detail that they lost sight of the big picture. I have known others who had a great view of the big picture, but they couldn't see the details.

When people hire consultants they expect a certain level of attention to detail. Mistakes happen, but they shouldn't be the norm. If mistakes have become the norm, maybe you need to slow down and refocus.

That's what I am doing with my business right now - refocusing.

I called my staff together today and we talked about attention to detail. We discussed how important it is and how much some recent mistakes have cost us - in real dollars.

Sometimes that's all it takes to get back on track.
