Oldest or youngest, at work

Handwritten notes on a post it note
December 1 (2023).

Be cautious when someone’s motive to help you is to reach a monthly financial goal. Conversely, enjoy when their financial motive is the reward, not the goal.

dad

Better to be the oldest person in the office or the youngest person in the nursing home?

Bonus: Bog Iger‘s November 2023 returning to work reflection (4:49 video) is here.

As a business advisor, my job, the one that only i can do, is to write organizational vibrancy prescriptions.

It’s up to the C-Suite to follow the prescribed course.

Teaching differently brings me joy

The bead jar officially emptied in 2018. This photo was from 2016 or 2017.

Teaching differently brings me joy.

Over-focus on the same things others, who do what you do, under-focus on.

Strive to have fun becoming a category of one.

Lessor versions (goals) include:

  • Being good enough for government work.
  • Being above average to make better money.
  • Being excellent to compete for promotions.
  • Becoming the best in class (category) for any number of reasons.

But at the end of the day, being the best in your category relegates you to taking your place behind the lead dog, the one who creates a new, and better category.

Improve at work, don’t preserve

Burn the ships.

dad

Improve yourself at work.

The goal is more than becoming a remarkable, artistic professional.

The goal is to do that, then continuously improve beyond your wildest imagination.

Yesterday, November 29. Walk in clinic. Most likely a Ganglion Cyst.

Leadership is about being proactive and over-focused.

dad

Not drunk.

But high on interacting at every opportunity to engage with our Guests.

Obsessive extravertedness.

You can’t walk anywhere and not be intentionality looking for opportunities to engage with Guests and make them feel special and deliver on one of the four key guest drivers.

Note: Wrote this two days ago at Epcot, while having a late lunch at Teppan Edo (in Japan).
