An excuse is worse and more
terrible than a lie, For an excuse is a lie guarded. Lesson # 6 Neglecting the truth is rejecting the truth. Lesson # 7 The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.

giving up and starting over in the right direction. Lesson # 11 Change does not change tradition, it strengthens it. Change is a challenge and an opportunity, not a threat. WHERE ARE WE NOW? CORE MESSAGE
To keep AS moving forward, we have
an organizational challenge -- to not only create new KRAs, but create a renewed sense of purpose. Our philosophy is simple. Success starts with alignment of PURPOSE, PROCESS and PEOPLE. For Optimum Performance and Value Creation you need to have clear direction, do the right things and have the right people doing the right things. A Call to Action This newly cast role may require some courage and a bit of adjustment. Your responsibility is to seek the truth through assessment and analysis. Then, you need to speak the truth about true root causes and the type of intervention package that will remedy the situation. You will need to lead a conversation about the level of effort required by each party involved. You may not always find an open door, but sharing your knowledge and gathered data will build trust and eventually make you a highly valued AS staff. A Call to Action The choice is yours. If you embrace this new organizational view of the role of AS staff, you can become an indispensable pillar of the organization you serve. View RESULTS monitoring as mandatory, not optional. Redeploy your resources to involve and embed yourself in the whole operation. Use new world methods to drive program results and demonstrate your role in contributing to improved job performance and subsequent organizational results. As the new OPC season starts, let us remember that our efforts become only meaningful and relevant if they cease to address the problems of the organization, and they begin to solve our society's problems. The pursuit of service must emanate from the belief that PEOPLE are the object, subject and, indeed, at the center of service. embrace change initiate change advocate change sustain change cognitive dissonance reframe, reassess and recommit We are the ones we've been waiting for.
