Last Saturday, after attending iBlog5, my friend Zorlone was kind enough to drop me off in Monumento so I can conveniently ride the bus at the Victory Liner terminal.

As I went towards the cashier to get my ticket, I noticed a sign on the cashier’s window which says something like “paying for insurance is voluntary” and I remembered that Victory Liner charge their passengers for insurance when you pay for your fare at the terminal.

Since I haven’t been travelling for quite a long time, I asked the cashier how much is the fare up to Dau, where I would get off (the bus I’m riding will be going to Dagupan), to which she answered P122.00, so I gave her P125.

She gave me my P3 change and two tickets… wait! Two tickets?!

This afternoon, I got a call from Jollibee. It was regarding the customer complaint I sent their head office. I was surprised since this happened two months ago, and I haven’t received any feedback after that.

As I have written on my blog post regarding that incident, I got an acknowledgement email from their head office and a call from a certain Jenny from the store’s branch. Both seeking apology and saying that this matter would be looked upon. That’s it. After which, I haven’t heard from them again… until now.

How do you put out a fire? By dousing it with water!  That’s right; to kill a fire you simply douse it with water. Now, how do you kill enthusiasm? Simple, by dousing it with water!  Now, why and how you may ask, pour water on enthusiasm?  I’m not really referring to physical water here, of course you know that.  I used the analogy because enthusiasm is like a fire burning within an individual.  People doused it with water by simply saying NO! STOP! THAT CAN’T BE DONE!

This is one of the most common management mistakes.  Sometimes, an individual comes along with a new or an improved idea.  Enthusiastically, he shares to the bosses, very confident that this idea would improve performance, cut costs, lead to better sales or really create big changes within the organization.  But the audiences aren’t too keen on changes, they either dislike it or they fear it.  For most old timers, changes may mean that what their current practices may no longer be acceptable no matter how effective they maybe in the past.  And they can’t accept that, call it pride, call it ego, but for them nothing beats the tried and tested means.
