If your organization is full of people who aren’t playing with the heads and hearts in the game, you need to 1st listen to this podcast and 2nd do something about it.  Festival Foods has taken the brave steps of embracing accountability and love.  They stumbled into a book called “The Servant” by James C. Hunter.  They saw a formula that they could get their heads around.

Intentions MINUS Action = Squat

Intentions PLUS Action = Will

They got into the game with a whole bunch of baby steps with one goal of continuously improving by identifying legitimate needs.
