Managing Chaos
Poor working relationships, internal and external strife, conflicts, misunderstandings, low productivity, decreased customer satisfaction, lack of referrrals, poor communication, and low sales are all symptoms of chaos. Managing Chaos is based on the premise that everything is changing faster than ever before. To be successful, companies and individuals must embrace change. To reduce chaos our challenge is to develop a productive, team-oriented, positive atmosphere where good communication is paramount. We must not only learn to manage time but manage ourselves. Rather than focus on things and time we must focus on preserving and enhancing relationships and on accomplishing results.

The reality is, there will always be more to do than can be done by one person. According to the vice-president of Southwestern Airlines, 'People who are only doing the work of two people are loafing in our company. It doesn’t matter whether it’s two full time jobs, four or twelve that one person has to do. Our productivity is the result of the trust we have with each other. If you have the right trust, working relationship and environment, the work gets done! I feel for companies trying to change from the old ways, but it can be done.'

This program will go beyond the symptoms and focus on the real problems that cause chaos in organizations
