GO TEAM GO!!!
By Ed Pecinka
After coming to the end of week one of a new football season ( and a nice Jets win I must say), I am reminded of the correlation I have always loved between sports and a successful business organization.
Teamwork is essential to winning in all aspects of life.
Knowing and embracing that we all have our individual strengths and weaknesses is the first step to building a successful team.
For the coach or manager, putting each âtalentâ in the right place, giving them their individual assignments, and trusting that they will do their job will make for the most consistent result.
Take a punt return in football, the ultimate display of teamwork….
The coach may put his fastest player with the best hands back to return the punt. The goal is to return it as far as he can down the field.
If the superstar doesnât have all
of his 10 other teammates blocking the opponent/ completing their assignment, he isnât going to get too far, no matter how good or fast he is.
Have you ever seen a punt returner get creamed!!!! Look it up on YouTube. Not a pretty sight!
We all feel like that sometimes, donât we?
In todayâs fast paced and intense business environment, teams are not just people in your own company or place of business, they are those people or businesses that help you do your job, âteammatesâ who you can count on to fulfill their âassignmentsâ, that have your back so you wonât get âsackedâ.
As the season moves along, be your own team owner and coach, think about who you want on your team so that you can be successful on the path to you own personal Super Bowl.
There really is an “I” in team!
It’s the A-hole!
The Sincerest Form of Flattery by Ed Pecinka
It has been said that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
We have all seen things that have impressed us to make them part of our daily lives.
A mentor once told me that in his mind, LISTENING was the sincerest for of flattery. Customers, friends, your family all are looking for that âspecial someoneâ who will take the time to really listen. Â I found it ironic that one of feature courses that is part of the Certified Professional Manufacturers Representative program, that we have sent our people to teaches you listening skills.
In todayâs fast pace world, where it is difficult to have a conversation without someone checking their phone for the next email, text, tweet or Facebook posting, communicating and âtruly listeningâ is becoming a lost art.
The information you get from a real conversation is priceless. Listening to the tone of someoneâs voice you can tell if they are joking, being sarcastic, truly desperate, all things that you canât tell in an email or text.
So the next time you are planning to text or email someone some delicate information, âflatter themâ, pick up the phone and have a real conversation.
I think you will be surprised at the result.
Bally’s Northwind Blast Chillers chill food quickly and safely without freezing to help keep you out of the danger of violating stringent food safety requirements. | ||
During cooling, the worst danger of contamination occurs as foods drop in temperature from 140ÂșF to 41ÂșF aptly called the âDanger Zoneâ. Under HAACP (The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) regulations, potentially hazardous foods may not remain in this “Danger Zone” for more than four hours; a Northwind Blast Chiller cools food in two hours or less.A Northwind Probe and Monitoring System keeps allows you to control and verify your food cooling practices as required under HACCP. Our standard monitoring package uses a probe for accurate tracking of internal temperatures, while giving continuous digital temperature readouts.
Bally Northwind Blast Chillers accommodate the rolling racks already in your kitchen, and their wide roomy doors meet the requirements of the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The Northwind 500 offers Bally chilling technology in a compact unit, while the 1000 provides the chilling volume required for heavy-duty institutional or commercial food service operations. |

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
By Ed Pecinka
After spending the last couple of weeks traversing the Metro marketplace providing demonstrations and training for the many new and remodeled schools we have been fortunate enough to supply equipment for, it has become evident why this time, Labor Day, is referred to by many as âThe Most Wonderful Time of the Yearâ.
After recharging our batteries in the summer, September allows us all to âstart anewâ, âhit the reset buttonâ.
School children are all a year older ( at least academically) branding new clothes and shoes. In my case, my youngest son started his first year of college, beginning a new life and career.
This is the perfect time for all of us to take a deep breath, refocus, and put strategies in place to close 2018 strong.
Get yourself something new to wear, a new china pattern, or better yet, a whole new kitchen.
Enjoy the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
