TP MECHANICAL ROLLS

First Reaction/First Glance
By now, most of our employees have heard the phrase “On a Roll” – a Pathways to Leadership tool. Recently, I was challenged by one of our Superintendents to give my thoughts on being on a roll.

My first thought when I heard this was that being on a roll is when everything is going good. I am happy and in a good mood.


The Learning Process
As I learned, it’s my decision to be on a roll. When I learned to sort through my issues one at a time to take a moment to count my blessings and focus on what has gone well recently, suddenly I begin to react to the work in front of me with a whole different attitude. Better yet, the people I come in contact with become more relaxed. Being on a roll becomes contagious!


Improvement for the Future
At TP Mechanical, we are shaping our culture so our employees can be on a roll more frequently. They do this because they now know that work can be fun and enjoyable. We are looking at our fellow workers in degrees of strength, we are motivating them by listening and implementing their ideas, and last but not least, we are dancing like nobody is watching. Everyone is doing these things in their own unique way.

Another way of looking at this – When TP Mechanical is on a roll, it’s like throwing the dice and hitting a seven every time!!!!!
