Getting people to comply is the manager’s job.
Getting people to commit is the leader’s job.
Big difference between compliance and commitment.
Guess you already knew that.

Biggest Economic Asset?
Customer trust is your biggest economic asset.
And so is employee trust.
Trust is the most difficult asset to acquire because it demands a great relationship.
Society and our busy life habits take us in the opposite direction.
What Are You Worth?
Most people are afraid to ask this question.
And if they do have the courage to answer it, most likely, it’s an inflated view.
Why is this?
It’s because we place the value on two things that are not relevant:
- What we did in the past
- What we intend to do in the future
Take a look at the stock market, or baseball.
Past performance and future goals may be indicators, but they are far from perfect math.
What are you doing right now that makes you indispensable?
Right now, today, what makes you the clear choice, the most expensive valuable choice?
Buzz Metrics?
Heard this phrase last week for the first time.
Apparently, it’s a common term.
It’s mostly self explanatory.
Are you creating a buzz?
What is buzz-worthy is today’s economic environment?
And finally, is it worth the effort, because the reality is, everybody wants to be buzz-worthy?
Oh, did I mention that Saturday marked my 2,000th blog post?
Do great work and Carpe diem!
World-Class Readers
Most of you know I love social media and actively (meaning daily) use the big guns – LinkedIn, Twitter, You Tube, Blogs, Facebook, etc.
LinkedIn has many uses besides posting a plain vanilla resume. It can be used as a micro-blog platform too.
Well, yesterday I received a LinkedIn reply from someone who’s parents instilled in them, as young children, to read a book a week.
Reading a book a month separates casual readers from serious readers.
Reading a book a week separates the serious readers from the world-class readers.
World-class, of course, is in a class by itself.
I know this from personal experience, but not in the category labeled reading.
