Wow.
When I was told that I’d have my labor cut out for me with this regional office, they weren’t kidding.
But the opportunity to lead a regional office was too exciting for me to say anything however sure. I had been toiling inside the zone controlled heating, ventilation, as well as A/C of the corporate headquarters for a few years at that point. While I was blissful to have made it to corporate, I was also ready for a harsh leadership role. Well, I got one as well as a handful. But thanks to a good local heating, ventilation, as well as A/C company, I have at least solved the commercial heating, ventilation, as well as A/C issues that have plagued this building for far too long. Basically, I walked into a powder keg when it came to morale. Not only was morale low, there was a harsh hostility vibe as well. I also don’t believe I’ve ever been in a labor environment that was that negative. But each journey begins with a single step. So I spent my unquestionably first week doing nothing else unquestionably however listening as well as gathering information as well as perspectives. It was clear that this bunch of buddies felt completely adrift as well as alone in the company. I tried to explain that this wasn’t their fault however the fault of a series of ineffective management. And I was here to change that. Another first on that list of priorities was simple comfort in the workplace. There was literally one thermostat for a one story building holding more than a hundred buddies. The second week I was here, I sent everyone dwelling for a four morning weekend while the commercial heating, ventilation, as well as A/C was substituted; but everyone simply returned to zone controlled heating, ventilation, as well as A/C with various separate thermostats as well as having independent heating as well as cooling zones.
