The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people, perhaps many people, are annoyed by the pressure of setting goals. Many people, if not most people, love to learn about and make predictions. There is little to be gained by fighting against the flow. Rather than fighting against the flow, [at least to some degree] Leaders and managers can seek middle ground and help their people make predictions.

People love to make predictions...and People will embrace the predictions they make.

Examples of predictions people love to make and learn about:

• bets on sports games
• weather predictions, especially "Ground Hog Day"
• stock market investments
• Nostradamus predictions

Why not add business predictions to the list!

(2) Reality TV just ain't - at least it ain't the sort of reality that creates value.

Here is another you can apply to public speaking: Abraham Lincoln – "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."
