May the 4th Be With You
Welcome one and all to the May 2017 edition of the blog. Time is fleeting, it is already May, the 5th month of the year, 5/12ths , 42%, and the 2nd month of the 2nd quarter of the calendar fiscal year. Let’s move along little doggies…
Simon nor I have aged a bit in the nine years… we are immortal as we use SYNCHRO ERP! We’ve come a long ways Simon!
The AFS MetalCasting Congress this year was most outstanding! The fine folks at the American Foundry Society always do a bang-up “great” job of putting it all together and making it look easy. It is always great to see Joe Murphy, Leo Baron, Shannon Wetzel, and many others. I even got to shake hands with the legendary Al Spada who was presented an achievement award.
Guess what company sponsored this year’s lanyards? Please wear them with pride and when your liquid metal operations are considering software, think no farther than around your neck!
Thank you to all our loyal customers and sales leads that visited with the team during the show. Here are a few pictures of what you may have missed out on and until next time, see you on down the road and by all means, be safe out there…

Head of SYNCHRO ERP North American Operations

Making Sure You are in the Right Jungle
Coveyism, borrowed from the late great Dr. Stephen R. Covey of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Principle Centered Leadership.
If you want a clear understanding of the difference between management and leadership imagine the scene: someone going through the jungle with a machete cutting the undergrowth clearing it up. There are the producers down there, see, the workers. Here all the managers are, back here sharpening the machetes for them, putting on muscle development classes for machete wielders, setting up working schedules for machete wielders, handling jurisdictional disputes between machete wielders. The leader climbs the tallest tree in the jungle, surveys the entire scene, studies the larger picture and screams out “Wrong jungle” and all the managers shout back: Shut up we are making progress.1
Through BRM and CRM, your metalcasting operations will always be making progress in the right jungle through improved communications and expanded relationships.
