Life Coach - Step 5 of 100 - Broken Window - the signal that you send matters

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixing_Broken_Windows

"Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it's unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside.

Or consider a sidewalk. Some litter accumulates. Soon, more litter accumulates. Eventually, people even start leaving bags of trash from take-out restaurants there or breaking into cars."

In 1990, William J. Bratton became head of the New York City Transit Police. Bratton described George L. Kelling as his "intellectual mentor", and implemented zero tolerance of fare-dodging, easier arrestee processing methods and background checks on all those arrested. Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his police commissioner Howard Safir also adopted the strategy more widely in New York City after Giuliani's election in 1993, under the rubrics of "zero tolerance" and "quality of life".

Thus, Giuliani's "zero tolerance" roll out was part of an interlocking set of wider reforms, crucial parts of which had been underway since 1985. Giuliani had the police even more strictly enforce the law against subway fare evasion, and stopped public drinkers, urinators, and the "squeegee men" who had been wiping windshields of stopped cars and demanding payment. Rates of both petty and serious crime fell suddenly and significantly, and continued to drop for the following ten years
What changed?

Broken window.

It is the signal that you send that matters.

So if you have a broken tap in your bathroom within a week all taps will be broken, NDA guys know that all one needs is one cycle without valves in the bn and within a week the entire battalion is all cycles without valves.

I hope you get the point I am making.
The first guy you excuse for comign late to class and soon everyone is coming late.
The first AWOL gets a 7 days RI instead of 28 days and soon the number of AWOLs is on rise.

Broken window sir.

Question time:
What broken windows have you seen in your experience? And how do you repair a broken window?
