Thought Tweet #845

by Rick Baker
On Oct 11, 2013

Thought Tweet #845 Do you know the actions that will cause your company to succeed?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Do you know the actions you need to do in your role for your company to succeed?

Are you volunteering and committing yourself to take those actions?

Are you volunteering and committing to resist taking other actions that have no clear connection with your company's success?

Do you have the tools you need to do what needs to be done?

Do you have the people-support you need to do what needs to be done?

Do you have the self-support you need to bolster the internal drive that will energize you to do what needs to be done?

‘Creative Engineer’ is not oxymoronic!

‘Creative Engineer’ is not an oxymoronic pairing of words.

I know this for a fact.

For example…

  1. Take a big bowl right out of its box. 
  2. Take a handful of entrepreneurial spirit. 
  3. Add a sprig of philosophical curiosity. 
  4. Blend these and some other stuff together vigorously until you get stuff on your shirt, on the counter-top, and on the floor.
  5. Using your mind's eye, lay the result out on a multi-coloured whiteboard.
  6. See the surprising things that rise to the top, even while they are half-baked.
