Frontline of inspiration

Posted by: Ian Mapp | 11.03.2010

One of our ‘truths’ is that customers and staff that interact directly with customers already know a lot about issues and problems … and often how to solve them. Listening to their stories is often inspiring. The following was inspired by a customer advisor on a recent client engagement.

View from the front

We the unheeded, doing the unneeded.
Showing the unknowing.
Too much pressing, too many stressing.
The unneeded our undoing.
 
Talk more, rest less.
 
Always collecting, something new to show,
never reflecting, learning from what we know.
The knowing unheeded, bright new world unweeded.
Doing the unneeded, defection speeded.
 
They talk, I squeeze.
They talk, I breeze.
I talk, they freeze.
I talk – on their knees!
 
I hear them, they are my feed.
I hear them, know what they need.
 
Now is the time to hear me speak.
Now is the time to heed the call.
Now is the time to follow my lead.
I’m undoing the unneeding, starting now.
