Are you being bothered enough?

Are You Being Bothered Enough?


Leadership should not
be a solitary act. Leaders need to surround themselves with people who will challenge their ideas, point out their shortcomings, and tell it to them like it is. To be an effective manager, it's critical that honest opinions and information reach you. Get your people to bother you by bothering them. Open-door policies are well-intentioned but you need to go farther and develop a culture of trust and openness. Show your people that candor is rewarded and that the more they bother you, the better.

Luck and Discipline

One half of life is luck, the other half is discipline and that's the important half. For without discipline you wouldn't know what to do with the luck.

Can't get no Satisfaction?

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing. It's when you've had everything to do and you've done it.
