Daily Inspiration: "Successful companies get rid of all the bull excrement" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Let's be real about it. Successful companies get rid of all the bull shit.

Successful companies have learned a lot about the future - and the fact that it isn't as complicated to get there as they once thought it would be. In doing so, the old barriers that were in the way have been obliterated!

Decision-making paralysis? GONE

Committees and group thinking? GONE

Slow teams and organizational paralysis? GONE

Clunky, bureaucratic structures that get in the way of change? GONE

Studying issues to death? GONE

Management by focus group? GONE

Interminable meetings that droned on without an agenda? GONE

Wasting time on consensus? GONE

Reports and deep analysis? GONE

Overthinking? GONE

Micromanagement? GONE

A legacy mindset? GONE

Risk aversion? GONE

Siloed expertise? GONE

Bureaucratic red tape? GONE

Resistance to change? GONE

If you look at them, the fundamental fact is this - all the bullshit that holds them back is gone.

They move, act, decide, invest, rethink, and redo at speed.

So should you.

Get rid of the bullshit.

Pardon my language.
