MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!Tanya, we missed you!!!! Our team spent the first few minutes discussing what up-stream meant and then talked about what leading up is all about...
We discussed that if you have a strategy ahead of time then this will creat less work down stream. Helen shared about how Sylvie Lemond is really good at doing this. When Sylvie sends out an RFP she also sends the supply agreement so that the supplier can review it and respond appropriately. This allows the terms and conditions to be agreed to ahead of time, saving many conversations and rework down the road. Being a planner helps to have smoother roads. It is proactive vs reactive.
Judy helps Helen to stay on a roll showing her leadership, when Judy is on vacation, Helen really notices a difference. Judy shared that she feels better when on a high road vs the low road. When you consistently take the low road you can learn to hate yourself. The team discussed that sometimes there is a fine line between degrees of high road, you want to take the high road but you also want to get your point across without others on the low road taking advantage of you.
Judy told us about a situation at her old company. There was a part that was critical to manufacturing and this part had a six week lead time. The part was used on multiple lines. The line that Judy was responsible for was running well and Judy had her orders placed well in advance. A gentleman who managed another line was way behind in his ordering and had missed the six week deadline, for ordering and a very important promotion was coming up in two weeks. The gentleman called the supplier and yelled and screamed at them to give him the parts ahead of the other orders that had been placed on time. The vendor called the company and asked what he should do, this actually caused a big fight between departments. Judy said that she lost respect and trust of the gentlement. The team discussed how an under developed wellness culture and small R's will take longer to get things done as their is a lack of trust and you need the Big 5 to have a good team and be on the right path!
