Been Tested For This Virus Yet?

Yesterday I referenced an (obscene) infectious virus that is plaguing the world, the corporate world especially.

It’s insidious and devastating.

My guess right now, at this very moment, you’re confused and wondering what I’m talking about.

That’s fair. And perfect.

It’s the perfect storm, isn’t it? This pervasive lack of recognition amongst people everywhere. The sad thing is, now that you know what I’m talking about, you are shaking you head, “Yep, he’s right”.

“What to do?”, is a question you may not have an answer for. But you know me, I do.

The answer?

Go to the far end of the sick world, and be the cure. Make it YOUR daily habit to say nice things to people.

You won’t win any employee of the month awards, but you will be living with integrity. Isn’t that enough?

Toughen Up Children

Are you on Facebook? One of my friends, blessed with a higher education and a serious career, just joined Facebook a few days ago. This morning, she had 8 Friends.

Not everyone is on Facebook. That is, not everyone over 30. Nearly everyone under 30 is.

This update came through last night and and I followed a comment link to 11 rules kids will not learn in school, but should.

We often hear adults complain about the younger generations, and that children need to toughen up.

Well guess who influenced these children?

Maybe we should be saying, “Toughen up adults. Lead the way, don’t get in the way.”

What do you think?

Think about it. I’m heading over to jeffnoel.com

PS. Rule #1 – Life is not fair.

Leadership Check Engine Light

Become The Type Of Person Your Dog Thinks You Are

Does your career, and more importantly, your leadership style, have a check engine light?

What are you working on that will make a difference in how others perceive you?

What are you working on that, unknowingly, doesn’t matter at all?

How do we tell the difference?

Excellence is a habit, not something we stumble upon.

The Road To Excellence

The road to excellence has no finish line.

This is the main reason people give up.

Or maybe it’s the fear of success.

What do you think is the main reason people live with discontent in the workplace?

Like I said yesterday, maybe it’s time for a meeting.

Social Media Celebrities?

When I asked Tiger Woods those two questions a while back, do you remember the answers?

  1. “Out work ’em!”
  2. “Since day one.”

Social Media Examiner, a new favorite social media “how to” site, posted an article two days ago.

Just had to share it. The 5 pros and the 5 cons are spot on.

Make no small plans…
