Do you need more staff?
Last week there was a woman who came into the store who appeared as though she’d just come from Pilates. She was in a little warm up jump suit thing.
She was in a big hurry and seemed very frazzled. I was happy to help her out and went through the entire store with her as she SuperMarket swept her way through the cleaning products in Laundry, and the food storage area of Kitchen.
This woman was stressed.
In the time that I worked with her, I counted a staff of at least four. She was trading phone calls with 1) her driver 2) her nanny 3) her housekeeper (and the new housekeeper in training) 4) her personal assistant.
Here’s the thing: if I have a staff of that many people doing so many things for me, I better be relaxed. Clearly, something is amiss. Isn’t the point to have all of these people working for you to make your life easier? So then why does your life seem so frenzied? Odd.
