Let’s say you run a grocery store and your computers go down in the middle of the day so you can’t process any payments. What do you do?

Let’s say your employees decide that since the problem was the company’s fault, they shouldn’t make the customers wait, so they let them take their food for free. What do you do about employees like that?

About the author 

John Seiffer

I've been an entrepreneur since we were called Business Owners. I opened my first company in 1979 - the only one that ever lost money. In 1994 I started coaching other business owners dealing with the struggles of growth. In 1998 I became the third President of the International Coach Federation. (That's a story for another day.) Coaching just the owners wasn't enough for some. So I began to do organizational coaching as well. Now I don't have time to work with as many companies as I'd like, so I've packaged my techniques into this Virtual CEO Boot Camp.
