Vision vs Operations
12/09/20 • 34 min
Conflicts in the workplace are inevitable. Operators have their own core strengths and mindsets that lead to the distinction in the way they solve problems and handle things. Rather than tagging it as negative, conflicts are an excellent way to mirror the validity of an idea and test how the team understands it and come with the best process and solution. To build the foundation of a healthy professional conflict, it must be rooted from a relationship of trust and respect.
In this episode of the Access Points Podcast, Davin and Tim will discuss the topic that makes who they are and what they are, VISION and OPERATIONS. Tim being an entrepreneur and visionary to his core and Davin as the operations guy, they will go in-depth into the compare and contrast of these two mindsets and how they are so important to one another.
Their key takeaways:
- If you're the visionary, make sure that the people you're sharing it with actually get it and understand it
- If you are the operational mindset, do not leave a conversation with your boss or whoever the visionary is without making sure that you wouldn't a hundred percent understand what it is they're trying to accomplish
Enjoy!

"Professional conflict is a fantastic thing. I don't know that you can truly grow. I don't know that you can truly run a successful organization without it. If you don't have conflict especially in dealing with different mindsets, you're doing something wrong."

Trust & Accountability
Micromanagement in the workplace is treating people like inmates and them acting like prisoners. Not only that it harms the team’s morale but also impacts the whole organization in terms of productivity and accountability. Simple as it seems, taking responsibility and ownership of one’s actions and decisions involve a deeper factor in the organization- TRUST.
In today’s episode of the ACCESS Points Podcast, Davin and Tim will talk about the concept of accountability in the workplace. They will share their own history of how they evolve their management techniques that sit well in a contemporary operating environment. They will also dig deeper on why trust and accountability are directly linked with each other and how the leadership team at ACCESS practices what they preach.
Enjoy!

"It's that adversity that brings wisdom. And it's those mistakes that make you wise, that make you better. So lean into them. Know that you made it. Own it and be smarter and be wiser because of it. And that accountability to yourself is what's going to make you a better person."
