5Tooele County Chamber of CommerceDecember 2015
2015 has been a very interesting year for Chamber. On the one hand, some seg-ments of business in Tooele County have had record-breaking years. Real Estate is a good example of this, with sales in both new and existing homes at their high-est levels in years. On the other hand, for those businesses located on Main St. in Tooele, 2015 will be a year best viewed through the rear-view mirror.
For the Chamber itself, this year has seen lots of changes in the existing culture. � ese were changes started last year under Chairwoman Alison McCoy. Speci� cally, we continued to scale back on “events’ moving out of the “party planning” busi-ness and more into advocacy for Tooele County as a tourist destination and politi-cal advocacy for our businesses.
� e events we’ve held this year have been smaller in quantity, but huge in qual-ity. Our annual golf tournament fundraiser was completely sold out and raised more revenue for us than ever before. It’s the best golf tournament in the county, and
that’s not just my opinion! Our traditional 4th of July breakfast saw us serving over 400 people and continues to get bigger every year. � e year- end BBQ fundraiser for the food bank was also tremendous.
In addition, the Business Expo was bigger and better than ever, with business from all over the county gathering to show o� their products and services. Finally, this past week, the annual Santa Parade took place, albeit on a new route (thanks to the good folks at UDOT!). Despite the challenges the weather was beauti-ful, we had tons of participation from our business members, and surprisingly good attendance from spectators. Santa said it was a great event, and who am I to argue with him?
Politically, we’ve been busy as well. Get-ting more involved with advocating for business at the local, state and even federal level is new to the Chamber, but it’s what our members say they want and need. We’ve been involved with every govern-ment entity in the county in one way or
another, and are a presence at most of those meetings. Our relationship with the elected o� cials has never been better, and continues to get better every year. Con-struction on Main Street may have made things tough (� anks again to the good folks at UDOT!) but the fact that we’re still talking is a good thing! � ese relationships are really “partnerships” and while we may not always agree on everything, we DO agree that we are all trying to make our community better. Look for these relation-ships to continue to bear fruit in years to come, for the bene� t of all.
For me, having the opportunity to be your Chair has been an honor. I’ve had the chance to work with some amazing people as we all strive to make the Chamber the organization it needs to be to really be a bene� t to the Tooele County business community. I have no doubt that incom-ing Chair Carrie Cushman will take us even farther forward. Finally, working with the sta� at the Chamber has been a great experience. � ey made my job easy
this year, and I greatly appreciate their work and their friendship. � ank you again for the opportunity to serve you, and let’s have an amazing 2016!

7Tooele County Chamber of CommerceDecember 2015
It’s not unusual for executives to enter a new job with deep-seated feelings of being an impostor. HBR’s research,
studying thousands of leaders rising into bigger jobs revealed 69% feel underprepared for roles they assume. Forty-� ve percent had minimal understanding of the chal-lenges they would face, and 76% said their organizations were not helpful in getting them ready. Fearing exposure as a fraud, many leaders overcompensate with extreme attempts at � awlessness. � ere are three common, but mistaken, beliefs they share:
“I have to be perfect.”Many driven executives struggle to accept
that � aws and mistakes are part of being human. And when you act as if you are, or should be, perfect, you eventually expect it of others as well. � e followers on whom those unfair standards are imposed typically revolt and withdraw their support. Starved for acknowledgement, such followers wait to pounce on any hint of (hypocritical) de� ciency, leaving no room for executive missteps. Executives, fearing criticism and exposure, work to perpetuate the illusion of infallibility — and perfectionism becomes a self-perpetuating prison. Sixty-seven per-cent of our respondents also struggled with micromanagement, a common symptom of managerial perfectionism.
Followers need assurance that leaders know they themselves are � awed, and will in turn be understanding of other people’s slip-ups. Leaders should be up front about what followers can expect about their strengths and foibles. � ey must welcome feedback, encouraging candor when their weakness becomes problematic for others and apologizing early and o� en when they make mistakes. A leader’s greatest source of credibility is, ironically, their vulnerability. Owning imperfections wins trust; hiding them doesn’t.
“I have to be 100% fair.”When it comes to resource allocation –
from compensation and promotions to stra-tegic priorities – leaders are scrutinized for “fairness” in unfair ways. Many employees expect to get overlooked when it comes to performance evaluations, promotions, pay, and access to resources and opportunities. A fragile economy and colossal gap between executive and worker wages continue to fuel distrust. Organizational injustice is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes those that play the “that’s not fair” card lack facts. It’s easy for leaders su� ering from impostor syndrome to worry too much about placat-ing these people.
While people want to be treated equally, not all jobs are equal; not every contribu-tion holds equal value. Instead of trying to treat everyone the same, be clear that disproportionate performance and results get disproportionate rewards, resources, and opportunities. When executives try to neutralize these di� erences by creating the false appearance of egalitarian polices that “treat everyone the same,” they provoke the very anxieties they sought to allay because people instinctively know that everyone is
not the same.Followers want to know the rules, and
know leaders care when the rules are bro-ken. If employees understand the standards, and how rewards will be distributed, they will believe there is no capriciousness beneath those choices. � ey want to know leaders have their backs, despite the realities of organizational injustice. One executive we worked with, thinking he was showing empathy, said to an employee, “I know our bonus structure is messed up, but there’s nothing I can do.” Making himself a co-vic-tim reduced his credibility as he advertised feeling powerless to advocate for change.
“I have to be accessible 24/7.”
Leaders never feel they have enough time to give, and followers don’t feel they get enough. Two-thirds of our respondents claimed they had insu� cient time to o� er those they lead. � e challenge is how to negotiate with each follower what they need and how to provide it. Don’t let militant gatekeepers prevent access to you, but don’t o� er unlimited access either — don’t become everyone’s answer ATM. Set clear boundaries and enforce the need to work within them. Maximize the impact of your time with creative processes that help the whole team have shared access, rather than relying on too many one-on-one conversa-tions.
Followers really want reliability. � ey
need to know that if they have problems, leaders will help � nd solutions. If there’s something they can’t make sense of, leaders will o� er perspective. If they can’t get an ad-jacent department to cooperate, their leader will run interference. While the amount of time spent doing these things will vary, it’s only when followers conclude leaders aren’t reliable that the amount of time they get with them becomes an issue.
� e executive stage is a high-wire act. An-choring yourself with transparent principles can help you weather the harsh blows dealt by the discontented. Satisfy your team’s real needs, and don’t worry about contorting yourself into what you can never be.

Debit Cards Can Help Youth Learn to Handle Money
Teaching youth about financial responsibility is a vital aspect of helping them prepare for successful futures. And one good way for them to learn to handle money is by using a debit card that provides electronic access to their money. Debit cards can be set up as a prepaid card or attached to a checking or savings account at a financial institution.
Debit cards can help teach sound financial habits, and they keep the user out of debt because they can’t spend more than is in the account. Once a debit account is set up, it’s important to go over the transactions with your child and review their spending habits, which also provides parents with a great opportunity to talk about the importance of having a budget and saving as well.
Debit card conveniences
u They’re more convenient than cash. u You can’t get into debt like you would with a credit card. u You can pay bills, write checks and get cash. u An online purchase made with a debit card is less risky because only the funds available on the card can be used. u Funds can be transferred instantly to your teen or college-age child for unexpected expenses. u They’re safer than cash—liability is limited if the card is lost or stolen.
What to look for in a debit card
u No activation or monthly maintenance fees. u No deposit fees. u No overdrafts—the user can spend only the amount on deposit. u The ability to add funds anytime, anywhere using your online/mobile banking system.
And remember, debit cards are relatively secure because the user is required to enter a PIN number in order to access the available funds.
