Reacting to the 6th Sense

The challenge confronted by a business manager is to ensure ALL the teams are focussed on the KPIs as much as you yourself are. Easier said than done! As someone rightly said, "Most problems in business have 2 legs", the business manager needs to respond fast to any 6th Sense signals. I personally feel that the success depends on the quality of response the business manager makes to every signal that indicates a potential problem in the team's focus. You can't take a chance at all! While I am not saying that one should become the pessimistic, control-freak leader, I am only stressing the need to keep your wits about and do spot checks. Try not to leave anything to chance as a stitch in time could save nine.
