How Learning To Juggle Improves A Business - Juggling Improves Business

By Yuki Sano


"Can Learning To Juggle Really Improve A Business?" The principles involved in juggling can improve a business. I began juggling months ago. Was I perfect at first? Absolutely not! While doing so, I dropped the ball lots of times and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Follow along and see how juggling improved my business.

Yes, in many regards we have everything we need in the United States such as low-cost power, high-tech clean rooms, and corporate office parks to manufacture and generate all the personal tech devices, and future transportation items here at home. However, we also have one heck of a large industrial base using current technology making electronics, and automobiles. Too much disruption too soon causes a need for retooling at a time when manufacturers are working very hard to maintain a decent return on investment of their capital expenditures previously.

You don't focus on everything at once when you juggle. You think through and complete the next step... every time. The art of juggling helps block out the less important things and magnifies things that are more important.

Autopilot And Corrections Learning to juggle effectively, is about autopilot and corrections. Once the ball is in the air, it's on autopilot until it's time to catch and re-throw. Business isn't far from that. It takes practice to juggle your business duties and it is a continual process. When you've got a good pattern, juggling becomes easier.

Traditionally, we focused on people as the "problem" when things were not completed in a timely manner. While there are human components, business process improvement focuses on the process. This means: * the focus in on the process, not employees as the problem * understanding how each job fits in to the total picture instead of just doing a job * measuring process, not individuals * change the process, not the person * remove barriers, as opposed to just motivating people * develop people, not controlling employees * trust as compared with mistrust * looking at what allowed the error to occur instead of pointing fingers at who caused the error * reducing variation as opposed to correcting errors * customer rather than bottom line driven

Meaning we are losing jobs either way, and the more we innovate the faster we will lose those jobs, and it's only going to get worse as we start building robots to make everything. Yes we will be leaders in robotic manufacturing, and that's no way to create jobs.

Too much innovation, too fast, is too disruptive for a mature and stable economy like that of the United States of America and that doesn't mean we shouldn't innovate, it means we need a better strategy, and those that think "straight innovation" is a solution to our problem, have not thought it through.

"Juggling effectively can improve business over time. Why would you want to get stuck doing everything yourself when the most productive people have others juggling things for them like: virtual assistants, personal assistants and administrative assistants? I hope you consider learning the concepts behind juggling when performing your tasks just as I did." ~Kevin Rape, President at Cell Tech, LLC
