I’d like to cut him down a notch or two… Meaning one wants to beat the heck out of someone else. He’s too big for his britches; I’d like to cut him down to his size. The FACT is; this rhetoric is not confined to the neighborhood jerks; but true in the Corporate Community, as well, and also; schools; government; and even the Church hierarchy. Remember; Caesar’s “Et tu, Brute.” Mankind has always tried to get the best of one-another; seemingly it’s a natural instinct. CORPORATE PRUNING is a more acceptable way of cutting one down to size; as it’s the Art of PRUNING away dying flowers, limbs, or fruit; so that the plant can grow new limbs, bigger flowers, and an over-all stronger tree. This is accomplished by transferring key personnel, re-training, promoting, and sometimes….firing the non-performers. Corporate Pruning is as much a corporate dynamic as IT, HR, or R&D. God practiced Corporate Pruning when he demoted Moses. Even Jesus was SACRIFICED so that we might have life everlasting. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. ………Blessings….cjlb..8/20/13
