Funny thing happened yesterday.

A good friend Rex, let me know how much he liked the blogs, and he said
that yesterdays blog "seemed as much about great advice for the
audience as it does for a message to myself, (and what is going through
my thought processes now)". And Steve has also mentioned this in the past.

Then a great employee here, Mike, came in and said "Man, you wrote
todays blog just for me, I have some decisions to make and the blog
really hit home. It seems like 70% to 80% of the blogs seems to be
directed straight at me".

2 different perspectives, from one blog?

As we have talked about before, it's all about perspective.

And who's to say who they are written for, as long as they hit home for all of us, when the timing is right.

The chain of Command...

Usually brings about a chain of emotion.

Focusing on what an employee does wrong, instead of what they do right,
begets the employee focusing on what others are doing wrong, instead of
what they are doing right.

Empowering an employee for their talents and skills, translates to the
employee empowering others for their talents and skills.

And in each case, the chain of emotion, mirrors the chain of command.

Keep doing the "Right" things...

Because character is built over time.

The easy route and shortcuts are for the lazy, and are the wrecking
ball of character.

So keep at it, and over time, character is also what makes History.

On any Team...

There is an unseen force, which is called "heart".

Just as in the human body, if it's flowing properly, it promotes growth
and life sustaining qualities.

The same goes with the "heart" of the the team, which is made up by the
individuals, beating as one.

Because when all the hearts are beating together and in alignment,
there is a lot of blood flowing in the right direction.

Can't put an old head...

On young shoulders.

Probably be good if we could, but just wouldn't look right.

But if we could use the mind, it would be terrific...Thinking what we
know at a younger age - maybe we could of have had a lot better time??
But we can't, and it would really spoil the amazing things we
could experience for the first time...with our eyes - wide open.

So simply understanding that living our life the way we do, we need to
get lessons, bumps and bruises along the way - in order to get a wiser,
more experienced "head" which grows right along with the "shoulders".

Yours in having fun "The way things are" - Coach
