It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. A customer doesn’t see your processes. Until they break: → The order that never ships. → The delay in getting an answer. → The repeated explanation to different support reps. And slowly, they can kill your business: - Lost trust. - Lost future revenue. - Damaging word-of-mouth. Bad customer experiences don’t usually happen because workers don’t care. They mostly happen because of broken systems. Here’s what often happens: 🚩 Endless approval chains → slow responses 🚩 Disconnected tools → inconsistent answers 🚩 Teams firefighting → no time to solve root problems Optimising processes doesn’t just improve internal efficiency, it builds customer trust: ✅ Fewer errors. ✅ Faster responses. ✅ Happier customers. Your process should feel invisible to the customer. The moment they notice it, it’s probably already broken. 👉 Take an action today and audit a process.

Apple’s 1997 “Think Different” campaign is a masterclass (still relevant - 28 years later -) This wasn’t just an ad. It was a reawakening, a return to Apple’s soul. Steve Jobs introduced the now-legendary campaign with a speech that redefined what great marketing looks like. That speech taught us: ✅ Marketing is about values ✅ Even iconic brands can lose their way ✅ Ask yourself: How do you want to be remembered? ✅ Ditch the specs — sell the story ✅ Emotion > features ✅ Anchor your brand in something unshakable He also unveiled the “Here’s to the Crazy Ones” ad A bold tribute to rebels, misfits, and visionaries. 🏆 Winner of the 1998 Emmy Award for Best Commercial. I studied this campaign in business school. The ad became my all-time favourite, because of this line: "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." In a world full of uncertainty, this campaign reminded me of two things: 👉 Great marketing is about what you stand for. 👉 Those who defy convention can push humanity forward. 💬 Which lesson resonated most? - - - ♻️ Repost it to inspire others. ➕ Oliver Ramirez G. for leadership & process improvement.

Unclear expectations burn out teams. (8 ways to master managing expectations) I used to think the key to managing expectations at work was about open communication. Later I found out, it's about structure. Because verbal updates leave out too much unsaid. And unspoken assumptions multiply. When expectations are vague: 🚩 Stakeholders push for unrealistic deadlines 🚩 Teams overcommit to keep up 🚩 Trust breaks down across the board Here are 8 ways to set crystal clear expectations at work: 1️⃣ Don’t rely on memory: document everything ↳ Write down goals, roles, and standards ↳ Removes ambiguity and saves mental load ↳ Create shared docs for alignment and visibility 2️⃣ Match scope to resources ↳ Assign work based on skill and capacity ↳ Avoids setting up teams to fail ↳ Run weekly bandwidth checks to stay realistic 3️⃣ Set SMART goals for requests & projects ↳ Make goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable... ↳ Helps teams focus on what success looks like ↳ Add review cycles to check if goals are still relevant 4️⃣ Use job levelling frameworks in performance reviews ↳ Clarify what’s expected at each seniority level ↳ Prevents misalignment and career stagnation ↳ Connect levelling to progression and feedback 5️⃣ Standardise key processes ↳ Define the “how to do” not just the “what” ↳ Brings consistency and confidence to execution ↳ Use flowcharts or SOPs with clear steps and owners 6️⃣ Build two-way feedback loops ↳ Ask: “Are these expectations clear and fair?” ↳ Empowers teams to voice blockers early ↳ Use 1:1s to pulse check on project expectations 7️⃣ Create workload visibility ↳ Use data to visualise progress and detect gaps ↳ Builds stakeholder trust and reduces status anxiety ↳ Use project management dashboards for fast reads 8️⃣ Reinforce with clarity, not control ↳ Clear expectations aren’t micromanagement ↳ They give freedom and confidence to own the work ↳ Clarify the outcome, then let the how evolve The best managers don’t overpromise. They become experts in providing clarity. 💬 Which of these would you try first? - - - ♻️ Repost to help leaders master managing expectations. ➕ Oliver Ramirez G. for leadership & process improvement.

If you’re still telling people what to do, you’re behind. We all know how the passive version of work looks: -Managers set the direction. -Teams get handed instructions. -Work happens to people, not with them. Passive cultures can be well-intentioned but lead to: ❌ disengagement, ❌ low accountability, ❌ and slow learning curves. The fix? ✅ Shift from a passive to an active work culture. When people participate in shaping how work happens, you unlock higher performance and deeper ownership. 5 tips to build an active culture: 1️⃣ Involve people in problem framing ↳ Don’t just bring solutions, bring the context. ↳ Let teams co-design the solution approach. → It boosts clarity and commitment. 2️⃣ Operationalise feedback loops ↳ Make feedback a built-in part of your systems. ↳ Use retros, async check-ins, or pulse surveys. → The goal is to allow continuous course correction. 3️⃣ Let teams improve the system ↳ Empower people to suggest, test, and own changes. ↳ People should feel they own their workflows. → You’ll build adaptive systems and capability. 4️⃣ Standardise the “how” together ↳ Co-create SOP documentation & levelling guidelines. ↳ It gives people a voice in defining “what's good”. → It sets shared and more realistic expectations. 5️⃣ Not just train, involve more ↳ Trainings slowly fade, people forget. ↳ Give opportunities to apply, tweak, and shape work. → People memorise by putting knowledge into practice. As a leader, make the habit of involving people. You'll end up with a happier team that performs faster and better. 💬 What’s one way you involve your team? - - - ♻️ Repost to help leaders promote an active culture. ➕ Oliver Ramirez G. for leadership & process improvement.

We often confuse confidence with competence. Your best future leaders may be hiding in plain sight. Here's what the best leaders understand: 1️⃣ The Confidence Trap ↳ The loudest voice isn't always the wisest. ↳ True expertise often comes wrapped in humility. 💡 Action steps: - Create anonymous feedback channels - Rotate meeting facilitators to hear all voices - Ask "What do others think?" before making decisions 2️⃣ They Don't Overlook Quiet Potential ↳ Your strongest talent might doubt themselves. ↳ They need space to grow, not pressure to perform. 💡 Action steps: - Schedule 1:1s focused on growth, not just tasks - Create small-group projects where all leaders can shine - Offer stretch assignments with built-in support 3️⃣ The Growth Mindset Difference ↳ Arrogance blocks learning. ↳ Self-awareness accelerates development. 💡 Action steps: - Reward learning from failures, not just successes - Ask for "areas of development" in interviews - Create mentorship pairs based on complementary skills 4️⃣ Look Deeper Than First Impressions ↳ Question-askers often outperform answer-givers. ↳ Curiosity beats certainty every time. 💡 Action steps: - Track who asks insightful questions in meetings - Notice who helps others succeed - Look for those who seek feedback on their work The next time you're evaluating talent: Look for those eager to learn, not those eager to prove. Your best future leaders might be the ones still finding their voice. 💬 What's you best tip for developing talent? - - - ♻️ Repost to help your network. ➕ Oliver Ramirez G. for leadership & process improvement.
