Time and Space

The goal is always to maximize space to get things done in time – setting yourself up for success with the right tools, working with the right people, and knowing who does what best and where people can be the most productive. Creating this space reduces stress, anxiety, and confusion when the time crunch hits.  When the time crunch hits, there shouldn’t be a problem because everyone knows what their space is and how it relates to the team’s space. The other option is to take away space, reduce what people can do, don’t give them freedom or trust to

The Final Countdown to Release

You have lists on lists of what is left to do. But you only have so much time left. So now comes the hard part, you can’t do it all and you can either try to or you can start throwing turnips off the truck. The idea of throwing turnips off the truck is that you are not going to get everything you wanted when you first started out on your journey, but you will still get there. So the question to you, as the leader of your team, is whether you still want to get your release there.

Good vs Great

The difference between Good and Great is the outcome. Good talent focus on the outcome, the outcome is all that matters, the prize at the end, the bonus, the award, the gift. Great talent focuses on the work to be done knowing the outcome will take care of itself.  If the work happens, everything else will fall into place. It’s all in the approach working towards the same outcome.  

Things Will Go Wrong

Your new project, your latest endeavor, the next idea you have. Something will break. Something will not work. Something will blow up in your face (maybe on an important Zoom call). Something will go wrong. It’s life, don’t harp on it if it happens to someone else, don’t let it get you down if it happens to you. Something always goes wrong, move on from it.
