The paradox of measurement and significance:

Many of the things you can count, don’t count. Many of the things you can’t count really count. – Einstein

There are great measurements, like hours worked at a place, for example, that can prove someone worked hard all week.

There are great measurements, like results, that can prove someone was effective regardless of how many hours worked last week.

Dear Nuwanda, please tell us how you really feel about the accusations

A fictional (probably) story that could happen, or is happening now, in any company, anywhere in the world…

Dear fearless new leader, welcome back as our company’s alpha dog. You’ve come a long way in the decade you’ve been gone. Extraordinarily impressive. Congratulations.

Those antiquated astonishing things we’re still doing that have you shaking your head and asking, “What the?“, yeah, me too.

Then there’s the issue of why are our employees still doing the same things the same way?

That’s a great question for your leadership council, coincidentally with the same leader at the top since you left.

One can’t help but wonder why our leadership (for the past decade) isn’t apologizing for allowing it to happen and for falsely thinking we can’t change.

This is were we are embarrassed (and sad) for them.

Please don’t tolerate insidious innuendoes about inabilities.

Please build up your team so they can build up the front line.

The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make; there is a lack of sales focus. People are afraid of sales and focus on marketing and development instead. There is not enough emphasis on sales because of fear. You have to have an incredibly thick skin. You get rejected all the time.  – Robert Herjavec
