The Mitzy System

Hi love bugs!

You are going to love this. So a few days ago, my mom came home telling me that she has a bedtime story for my baby blog. She said that her amazing boss has a secret to her success. My mom, being a success junkie herself, asked what it was. My mom's boss said that instead of taking ownership in an idea that she had and moving forward- using the idea that was clearly stated as her idea- she makes it to where it is the team's idea. Mitzy, my mom's boss, makes it to where the idea that she had in her head is thought up of in the teams head, without Mitzy having to say it. By doing this, it was an idea the team came up with, not Mitzy, the boss.

My mom and I both love Mitzy to pieces because she does these things. She is so sweet and considerate of the team and others (like me, who is clearly not working as an employee), but also is a boss and has won many awards for her initiative and strife for getting things done. By operating this way, Mitzy accomplishes both of these things: being considerate of the team and having them participate in contributing, as well as having the office run efficiently and productively. And I think just having the team feel like they are contributing, makes the office run more efficiently because there is communication and a relationship behind the boss and the employees.  Nobody likes being TOLD what to do but love sharing ideas and working together.

If this does not apply to you in the sense that you don't have a job, think of other ways the Mitsy System can work in your life.



Keep Moving Forward,
