@katiekberlin@BrendanMHoward Tip #1: become an owner. Then you'll never have to ask permission again. haha

@katiekberlin@BrendanMHoward Tip #2: it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Change something, measure improvement, THEN talk?

@katiekberlin@BrendanMHoward Tip #3: Your chances of success are much higher if your idea takes neither time nor money from the owner.

@katiekberlin@BrendanMHoward Tip #4: Take control of staff meetings & education. Be the communicator you want to see everyone else become.
