Thought Tweet #633 Ernest Seller wants his kids to believe in Santa Claus…he wants his wife not to.
The Thinking Behind the Tweet
You got it - Ernest Seller is a bit cheap!
When he was a boy, Ernest believed Santa Claus snuck into his house using the chimney. Now he thinks Santa gets in through the hole is his wallet.

Thought Tweet #632 When people are annoyed by the pressure of setting goals, don't fight against the flow - help them make predictions.
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!
