THE QUESTION
Whether you are the student taking the 4th lesson in a series, the club’s general manager, anyone on staff, or the course operator, there is that question always on the mind: “how am I doing?” Four little words, and yet we rarely ever find the courage or time to ask the person in the know for a progress report. That person in turn, does not seem to feel this information is important. This is surely unfortunate, as silence when it comes to the question, is never golden.
The information, the detail behind the question is what we crave. In every walk of life, we wake up on many a day wondering how people feel about us: on the job, as the operator, as a spouse, or as a team member. Today, this post will seek to take some of the mystery away from the unknown, at least on the golf side of life. Even though it seems we all yearn for the answer, the answer rarely comes.
5 THOUGHTS ON “THE QUESTION”:
How am I doing is the question on our lips throughout any given week. Do not shy away from asking the question. Creating an open attitude of trust and opportunity for people to share their views is a real differentiator for you, against your nearby competitors. So as you get ready for spring 2014, polish up the question, and get ready to have a great year, driven by the people who have all the answers!
