A business may prosper temporarily because of fortuitous circumstances, but in the long run an enterprise needs a management team that can effectively respond to change in the environment in which it operates.

To make those changes work, Spahr had to transform company management and employee thinking. Placing a high priority on productivity, Spahr put people in responsible positions because of their ability and not because of seniority. He developed systems for inspiring and rewarding all employees for superior achievement. An innovative compensation program helped both managers and employees develop an ownership attitude and unity of purpose. Sohios streamlining and positive motivation worked because of Spahrs ability to sell his ideas. The result was a memorable turnaround for Sohio from a stale company to a growing concern.
Consider This: When an organization becomes stale, it is time for a new look at how things are done. Perhaps it is time to shake up the status quo like a terrier grabbing a mouse.
