Thought Tweet #918

by Rick Baker
On Jan 22, 2014

Thought Tweet #918 Regardless of the situation, you can choose to lead. [Choices are limited: leading, following, perhaps one other thing.]

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Business Contains Only 3 Things: People, Process, & Situations.

Regardless of the situation, you can choose to lead.

If you do not choose to lead then you may choose to follow.

If you do not choose to lead or follow then what are you choosing?

Thought Tweet #917 Where people connect with IT Systems: that's a place where huge improvements hide under people's complaints. 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When I hear people complaining about IT hardware/software/network I immediately dig deep to find the hidden improvements & opportunities. When an IT problem is solved it almost always removes a people problem. So, 2 problems get fixed at the People-Process interface...and that opens doors for opportunities.

Business Contains Only 3 Things: People, Process, & Situations.

When the situation looks like a problem at the people-process interface...know P=2S+O is the route mindset.

Thought Tweet #915

Thought Tweet #915 Many people have a personal relationship with Time: Time serves as their scapegoat.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Time is an abstract. People are not. At least, most people are not. 

Really, we know Time does not have human qualities.

Really, we know Time cannot march on. Only people and a select group of other animals are able to march.

Really, we know Time cannot wait for anyone. Only people and a select group of other animals are able to wait.

And, really, we know Time is never right or wrong. 

Yet, many people are brainwashed. They think and talk about Time possessing human traits. 

If we give Time human traits then, just like other people, we can blame it for our shortcomings. 

Yes, what a relief! What an escape from responsibility! Time is our scapegoat!

Thought Tweet #914 Imagine the possible: do the impossible.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Imagination triumphs over impossibility.

If you disagree, just watch others as they pass you.

If you agree, find others who will run with you.

Thought Tweet #913 The more you squeeze their heads in the vice the less clearly they think. 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

While a little pressure may go a long way, constructive criticism is an oxymoron and excessive criticism is guaranteed to cause headaches.
