Joh-eun Achim,
Greeting of the day in Korean. It just seems fitting.
Have you every thought about your personal culture?
Steven Pressfield is one my favorite authors and thinkers. I shared his earlier article about YouInc. many weeks ago. This article follows up on the YouInc. article and asks a question we should all ask. I haven’t yet figured out my answer, but I really like the question.
Does your team have a “red button?”
I love the imagery of a red button and the sense of urgency it creates when a problem surfaces. What are the circumstances in your team that would trigger the red button? Do you have procedures in place to react to the red button?
Which one is more important – being liked or being respected?
There is a lot of literature out there debating which is more important as a leader. This article doesn’t specifically address that debate, but it does make a decent argument for one side of the debate.
The Habits of Like-able Leaders
Book I am enjoying.
I was drawn to this book because of a reference to “resume virtues” vs. “eulogy virtues” in a review that I recently read. The author uses short biographies to illustrate his points. If you like books by Malcolm Gladwell you will likely enjoy this book.
Quote that hopefully encourages you…
“Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call ‘life’ was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”
– Steve Jobs
Have a great weekend!
