Time is money

Disney plastic character toys
Traveling with Disney figurines is a habit.

You’re too busy to see your clock ticking by…yet i see it clear as day…

A year from now you’ll wish you had started today…

Cheryl and i have known each other 41 years, including 37 married years. Every team works hard to be effective and efficient – the simplest, truest bottomline in business.

  1. Is it effective?
  2. Is it efficient?

This is what we everyone wants.

Now…

Time is money.

Money spent can save time (money).

  • How’s your decision fatigue?
  • Why do you not stop working out?
  • What’s the point of investing money?
  • What do you gain by not committing?
  • What if every employee leveled up (and kept leveling up)?
  • What’s your template for scaling future businesses?

Measure or set?

Same shadows, different camera angle. If you don’t look at the mushrooms what do you see?

Measure or set?

What?

Do you measure your culture’s temperature or do you set your culture’s temperature?

What you train yourself to see is what other’s train themselves to see.

How well does your architecture serve you?

Just happened to notice a rocket launch a few minutes after it actually launched. Yesterday. Sitting at my desk.

Context: customer equals anyone that you serve, everyone in an organization serves others.

  1. Does your architecture help you deliver on what your customers want most?
  2. Does your architecture support your business strategy?
  3. Are workloads balanced among your leaders?
  4. Are employees getting the right amount of direction, not too much, not too little?
  5. Is there partnering and synergy across geographical and organizational boundaries?

i could go on, but these five define the point that there is much room for improvement.

Do not choke

Imagine what a 30-year Disney Operations insider knows about creativity and innovation. Priceless? Depends what you need to fix and improve.

World-class is highly desirable.

Of course, it is also expensive.

Investing time, money, and resources.

(It’s also expensive in lost opportunity costs, turnover, cultural weakness, ineffective leadership).

Not many naturally see world-class cultural architecture as an investment.

Some do.

Guess who they are.

The crazy ones. The misfits. The outliers. The ones who know there is no other choice.

So please do not choke when i give you the quote.
