Culture works as designed

Funny bumper stick — During today’s 10 mile walk through my community, i saw this bumper sticker while walking through the Publix grocery store parking lot. It made me smile.

Culture works as you’ve designed it.

So, your culture isn’t failing, it’s working exactly as you’ve designed it.

Failing is synonymous with under-performing.

Want a better (or much better) performance culture?

Write a better (or much better) cultural design.

Envisioning the past

Envisioning the past.

But wait jeff, don’t you always say that “vision” is a picture of the future that is not only better than now, but much better than now?

Absolutely.

Here’s the cool paradox to this post…

We leave Australia on June 30.

We arrive home in Orlando (also) on June 30.

Fourteen time zones make for a unique calendar juxtaposition.

We gained a day traveling to Australia.

We ‘lose’ a day flying home.

Final 24 hours in Australia, work

college auditorium — We scouted out the venue the day before. We intentionally mitigated navigational challenges before any challenges could surface.

Two adults in auditorium — Almost ‘showtime’.

Blurry photo of college graduation — Here they come. The first two graduates have entered the back room.

6-second video: The third graduate is the one we came to see and honor.

10-second video: Sometimes a ‘chaotic’ clip can provide decent context.

11-second video: The opening kickoff.

19-second video: Graduates from the School of Business and Creative Industries.

16-second video: The third graduate.

Reflecting on the past three weeks and the next 24 hours, this is a dominating career thought….

Different is better than better.

To have strong courage to be different is the key to career vibrancy.

Tradition and dogma have their place in scaling high standards.

Paradoxically, tradition and dogma must be challenged for improvements to surface. And to make dramatic leaps in quality, tradition and dogma must be left behind.

Note: If Henry Ford hadn’t created his car manufacturing assembly lines, people of the time would have been hoping for faster horses.

This close seems fake

aerial resort shot — Rooftop private verandas. We are on the floor below.

ocean sunrise — Every morning. All day. Every day. Day after day.

It’s not lost on me that my clock is ticking.

It’s not lost on me that i’m five years past my ‘dead’-line.

It’s not lost on me that we are ‘time-wealthy’.

We can do whatever we want whenever we want.

This, coming from a couple that never could find time to meet for lunch while working (on-the-clock) at Walt Disney World.

It’s almost sickening to think that our work/career schedules demanded so much commitment and focus that we could not break away for a single lunch for three consecutive decades.

And in the ‘no-one-cares’ category, i still have never owned a new car.

All that to circle back and say we do what we please now.

Work manifestation

Career vibrancy is the manifestation of how you habitually .think .differently about your contribution to society.

Career vibrancy is the manifestation of becoming a remarkable category of one.

Even as a janitor sweeps the streets, may the janitor sweep like Walt Disney entertains.

Create, maintain, and continuously improve the ways you are able to get-to-do more than you have-to-do.
