"Old Sayings Show Why Things go Wrong" by Susan Pearl

"It only takes a small leak to sink a mighty vessel".

"We are only as strong as our weakest link".


Policies, procedures, manuals are there for a reason and for proper training of these protocols is very important but even more important is following them. There are people who don't want to follow the rules, or want to bend the rules, or want to push the rules  These people have to be kept in check or working with them turns into an uncomfortable form of peer pressure and with time these peer pressure bullies are then running the show and not the policies or protocols.

Sooner or later this will be exposed for what is.  It will bring about a failure in operation or a complete demise of any kind of premise the operation was thought to stand for.

Wherever we work we have to be in line with the professional rules and following policy and procedure that we have promised to follow and we have to enforce this proper protocol.  That will bring about an integrity that can be counted on to uphold and represent the policy procedure.  A policy and procedure that are the requirements to the utmost letter of the law for the fairness and protection of anyone who comes into contact with them---thus building trust....thus building success...that a future that is equally administered for the good of all can be built upon for generations to come.
