Leveraging Behavior into your organization
As I sat through two days of excellent content, presentation, technology and expertise at the PDP summit in Colorado Springs, Co it became very clear to me how important, once again, it is to leverage behavior in the right job and environment. One of the things I want to share with other owners in the fire and flood restoration industry is that now more than every its important to recognize the talents of the individuals you hire in, mentor, manage, develop and work with every day.
One good example is how leaders handle delegation. Those that are drivers are going to leave the details to someone else while they focus on the big picture. Trust will play a factor too. Those that are high extroversion/high patience like to collaborate and bring everyone into the decision making. My good friends that are restoration industry owners and leaders - pay attention to this when working with your teams. At the same time, it's important for everyone to understand the importance of behavior in any type of relationship. Friend, mate, co-worker, friend of a friend always respect other individuals opinions and ideas which will go a very long way. Like a friend once told me "the best talker is a good listener".

NFL Fantasy Football and behavior- what it does to their fans!
It is absolutely impossible for me to make any sense out of my husband when it comes to NFL fantasy football. For those that know me, he has a fantasy football business that everyone else thinks is cool, but I live with a human stat machine during the entire NFL football season. The most concerning part is how my husband becomes a different person. Not a detail oriented person by nature, but a great risk taker and highly extroverted individual. You, see his natural self is not one to really like allot of attention to lots of information and with fantasy football all about stats, remembering stats, keeping up with the changing of stats, he's already in a world of trouble. So it is with this that I see him change, stress levels go up, but once I remind him of how to deal with it (ok, so a wife can only go so far with real honest advice) he starts to get under control. I will even go as far as pulling out his most recent PDP Proscan and go through it with him to remind him its all part of his natural behavior. Plus, TO's not going to get 80+ catches for 1100 yards and 12 TDs like his software is predicting either. LOL
