Thought Tweet #651

by Rick Baker
On Jan 14, 2013

Thought Tweet #651 Thinking is no substitute for information; information is no substitute for thinking.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Inspired by Edward de Bono who wrote "Thinking is no substitute for information."

And...knowledge is not power.

Information is much more plentiful and accessible that is used to be. Is thinking keeping pace?

@GKWCC #P2P: CEOs - your website delivers the 1st impression, so use it as a sales tool & make 'people-contact' easy.

Thought Tweet #650

by Rick Baker
On Jan 11, 2013

Thought Tweet #650 Focusing on people's strengths helps them feel more engaged & motivated, which leads to increased profit.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

How does that lead to more profit?

If you can help people feel more engaged and motivated about their work, then:

  • they are interested, so they concentrate better and make fewer errors,
  • they are happier and have less interpersonal conflicts,
  • they are happier and there is less staff turnover,
  • they are more able to face challenges and embrace change.
All of these things lead to increased profit.

[and these are just a few examples of how strengths-based business leads to increased profit]
