CASH IS KING BUT....7/8/2020 Of course, cash is king. While cash is king, you should/should be: 1. Operating from the position of maximizing value; 2. Eschewing perfection, perfect timing, perfect execution, perfect Zoom meetings, perfect video face, etc. 3. Doing, not overthinking; 4. Telling employees what to do, not ask them what they think they should do or you should do! 5. Not dodging the bullet, accepting responsibility for mistakes and errors of judgement; 6. Considering investing, not saving on costs; 7. Reducing output, leveraging outcomes; 8. Acknowledging some things that shouldn't have happened in the first place; 9. Finding the root cause of success and rinse and repeat; 1o. Rinse and repeat.

A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE GOES A LONG WAY7/6/2020 Don't be a super-hero in your organization.
The office is not burning. They can live without you, even prosper. Do you actually add value with your presence? Your co-workers are adults. They make their own decisions. Paper pushing is not considered work. Don't make a to-do list. Make an outcomes list. Stop editing yourself all the time. Don't feign attention. Attention is for crucial matters. Don't choose your successor. Brainstorming is a waste of time. Get someone to do the basic thinking process. Who has the time to make notes for everyone? Less is more. Bring value every time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!7/1/2020 Happy Birthday Canada!
Ten Things I love about Canada: 1. Courtesy in the road for mergers. 2. Best health care in the world. 3. Hockey is culture not just a sport. 4. You can buy your native food almost all the time at every town. 5. Line ups are respected. 6. There are many answers to the question, "where are you from?" 7. Small talk frames the day. 8. Come prepared for any weather, especially in Alberta. 9. Emergencies are emergencies. 10. Enforcers enforced; they don't play tricks on you. |
