Train Your Employees

A friend’s neighborhood
planted trees.
They were all volunteers.
They had no training.

But how hard could it be?

You just dig a hole
and stick a baby tree in it,
right?

Months later,
EVERY tree planted
has died.
Every single one.

I was trained in tree planting
years ago
and even I could see
the trees were planted incorrectly.

There are NO unskilled jobs.
NONE.

Every job
-planting trees,
handing out flyers
at the mall,
flipping burgers-
requires skill.

Train your employees.
Then seek to retain
those SKILLED people.
