Really hoping to be blown away

Sanibel shelling — Doing a 180 from the setting sun.

Really hoping to be blown away.

Spending a lot of money and placing a ton of trust in someone i’ve never directly worked with before.

How do you feel certain the person you’ve contracted is not squandering their time, effort, and attention on your project?

You don’t.

Well, you find out when the project is done.

And then, if you’re blown away, then you’ll know.

And if you aren’t blown away…

Business as unusual

WWDC 2016 Keynote — Apple is simplicity in motion.

Business as unusual.

What is possible at work?

Coming up in three weeks will be the one year anniversary of zeroing out my email inbox, sent, and trash folders.

No easy task.

However, beginning the day with empty (except what came in while sleeping) folders changes things.

Leadership is such an underused competitive advantage

FHSSA Basketball state championships — The Lakeland Center

Leadership is such an underused competitive advantage. Everything rises or falls because of leadership. Talent is important, and so is teamwork and drive.

Carving out time to think about this is rare.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Your leadership deserves reflective time to decide how and what you spend your time thinking about.

Why?

Because what you think about drives what you do.

i used to spend a lot of time doing the wrong (lower priority) things right.

Now for example, i carve out two hours every morning to get ready for a single day.

Over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

The main reason organizational culture change fails

iPhone calculator — Yesterday’s published blog total. Today it changes to 12,702.

The main reason organizational culture change fails is because CEO’s are focused on technical changes instead of adaptive changes.

The cultural disfunction never gets better because CEO’s are attacking symptoms, not causes.

This becomes an insidious pattern of dependency.

Meaning, the sense of urgency, and the fire drills to put out the fires are something people respond well to because the culture is reactive rather than proactive. And there is a “high” you get from “being productive” (putting out fires).

No one (stereotypically) in the organization with influence knows how to be proactive. At least that’s what it feels like to nearly everyone on the front line.

This is where i come in.
