Last week, I tried a new recipe and liked it quite a bit. But when I pulled the leftovers out, it just didn’t have the same impact. The dish was just kind of ok. It wasn’t until the next day that I realized I forgot to add the fresh herbs before serving. No wonder! That missing ingredient brought the dish together and it wasn’t the same without it.
In business there are frequently missing ingredients. Maybe it is the front line employee that makes people feel welcome. Or the person that just makes things happen. Or the piece of data that completes the strategy. Whatever it is in your business, making sure it is there will make a world of difference.
