YOUR MOST BORING TASK

This is your most important and boring (only to you) task---taking the message that you have crafted to guide your company and talking about it incessantly with no change in language or nuance.

This is your most important and boring (only to you) task--taking the message that you have crafted to guide your company and talking about it incessantly with no change in language or nuance.

See what I mean? 

Of course you've done the excruciating job of creating the message. It must be 
THE lever that takes your company forward. It has to be right. It has to be strong. It has to be capable of guiding everyday decisions of people in the company. It must be believable and create optimism and the possibility of success. It must guide today and tomorrow.

And your mind may be elsewhere--five years ahead thinking of what the next message must be, wondering if you have to let go one of your top leaders, bored with the repetition of the message, even questioning it privately.

BUT this is your most important and boring task--taking the message that you have crafted to guide your company and talking about it incessantly with no change in language or nuance.

CONGRATULATIONS

The aftermath of the US election has created lots of "ain't it awful" discussions.
I've also had quite a few about school culture and leadership.
And about religions with dwindling membership because they don't ring true in action.

So, Congratulations. I see organizations being much more conscious of the culture they want to create, much more demanding of the need for the skills of emotional intelligence, much focused and intentional about purposed, and
more committed to zero tolerance of harassment of all kinds.

Go figure. The most maligned of institutions (corporations) turn out to be the most enlightened. Maybe because self-interest trumps stubbornness.
So--congratulations. And I mean it. No snide remark going to be made.

OFF THE GRID IN RANGELEY MAINE

Will be back next week.
No signal feels like free fall at first.
I need to be connected to everything and everyone.
Then a freedom sets in.
CEO's make sure you have free fall time.
Makes for better judgment, not to mention health

We forget that it is fragile
Support it.
