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.
