Exiting can be art

Exiting can be art.

Never thought of that sentence until just now, two days after i cancelled my QuickBooks subscription.

The courage it takes to burn the ships is the artful part.

Courage is rare, hence valuable.

This new phase of life, for me, is only about doing things that are extraordinarily valuable.

Why?

Because the clock is ticking.

Always has been. Always will be.

Note: This simple wisdom inspires the heck out of me.

There have been worse times

Make every employee at every level in charge of three areas:

  • Head of picking up trash.
  • Head of exceeding customer expectations.
  • Head of creativity and innovation.

Humans crave purpose.

Give them a variety so they don’t get bored.

Note: There’s an exception to every rule.

I don’t want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth, even if it cost them their jobs

The key to making change that matters

All in means all in. Not being all in means exactly that, not all in. Obvious, challenging, and yet the key to it all.

What stifles making change that matters?

A busy schedule.

A lack of balance between the big categories.

Time and competing priorities create the illusion that organizational and personal vibrancy are impossible.

Balancing leaders, employees, customers, reputation, and improvement yields organizational vibrancy.

Balancing mind, body, spirit, work, and home facilitates personal vibrancy.

At the DNA level what makes change happen and last?

Commitment.

Anything less is not enough

Actual comment on emailed invoice.

Commitment means being all in.

Anything less is not enough.

If you are not all in, you are not all in.

You cannot be mostly all in.
