A flashback to 1989. Yep, that's me!<\/p><\/div>
\nWhile doing a routine oil change on my car, Sassy (Oh, c’mon…yours has a name, too<\/em>), I noticed there was oil in my antifreeze reservoir. The culprit? An intake manifold gasket that needed replacing. Having grown up around this industry, I knew that if this problem was not taken care of immediately, a much larger and more costly issue would definitely ensue. And without a regularly scheduled oil change, I would not have known this gasket was bad and causing damage.
\nThere are many different components in a vehicle and each component needs to function independently as well as together to get that car to move. If one of these components is not working properly, your vehicle may still get you where you need to go but less efficiently. Eventually, the damage will surface and a repair will need to be made. Or if the damage is irrevocable, you may need to scrap the car altogether.
\nI think you\u2019d agree with me that general maintenance for your vehicle is vital. But how about for the internal relationships within your own organization?
\nTake a second and reflect back on this past year.<\/p>\n
