The Start Of Something New


I did it – and it was quick and painless. I hired 2 additional people to help with operations and inventory. They were both recommended by a friend. The interviews went well and both women seem up to the challenge of our increasingly busy manufacturing demands. It was important to add to our staff prior to the start of the holiday shopping season. What a relief to have found not one, but two people so quickly!

Now, let the training begin. We’ve perfected a system that works – for now anyway. Hopefully it is one that can be easily taught and communicated to someone starting fresh. And one that is adaptable to our growing needs. I want to have everyone up and running – FAST!!

Also, I’m curious to see the change in dynamics of our work environment with the addition of two new personalities. Hopefully we’ll all work harmoniously. Otherwise, I’ll have to utilize some of my newly acquired conflict resolution skills – they seem to be coming in handy a lot these days. Although I like things done a certain way I think I'm easy to work for (and with). Time will tell. So will I…
