Culture is the byproduct of your actions

Practice Leadership , has a brilliant post about culture that we all should read. It's simple but profound at the same time. Please take the time to venture over via the link above, it is well worth your time.

Where do you sit?

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw
the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?" The
eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the
eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting
very, very high up

The Greatest Management Philosophy Ever

You cannot be chosen unless you are a choice!

Reminds me of the quote I shared a couple posts ago about being 3” tall! The worker as we know it today is changing. We are moving and in many cases have moved from the industrial age to the knowledge worker age.

Workers in this age will exercise their entrepreneurial spirit more than ever both inside and outside of organizations. The best ideas will be ideas that are fostered from Mass Collaboration in lieu of a single mind. This age will understand and harness the concept of teamwork.

I want to invite you to explore this with me. Please drop me a line with your thoughts on the knowledge age. How will we manage that worker in an outdated business model? How do we marry the old with the new? How do we make allowances for the new while preserving the dignity and moral of the old?

Oneness

We are all called or compelled to travel on a similar path and that being said it is paramount that we stay together both outwardly and more importantly inwardly. Alignment must be present in order to achieve spiritual intelligence.

The Rules of Management

The first 90% of a project takes 90% of
the time. The last 10% takes the other 90% of the time.”  —Richard Templar,

What are we missing?

Never forget implementation boys. In our work it’s what I call the ‘missing 98 percent’ of the client puzzle.”  —Al McDonald
