The Most Awesomest Coffee Cup EVER
So I just realized that the coffee cup I made my oatmeal in this morning has all kinds of quotes all over it which are awesome. It's a big advertisement for some management consultant. Anyway, I was so enthralled I had to transcribe it here:
Review Keepers daily; learn, unlearn, relearn * It’s easiest to ride a horse in the direction it is going * If the horse is dead, get off it; since it is hard to tell your horse is dying, have two horses * Think batting average, not perfection: position, perform & persist * You miss 100% of the shots you never take * When you come to the fork in the road, take it * Learn from your error, but get out of the rearview mirror * Drive & live your vision, mission & values * Keep hope alive! * Be tight & loose * Have tickets every day * Be a tailor; take your measures anew * Care enough to make course corrections early * Use resistance; don’t silence it * Build bridges or your bags go to Japan * Take more blame and less credit * Every person you work with knows something better than you; find it and use it * Use positive gossip to tell the story of what’s working * Put your calendar where your mouth is * You are known by the questions you consistently ask * What’s working for you? * Take your job seriously and yourself lightly * Some days you’re the bug; some days the windshield!
