Indecent, home

Apple email screen shot — Life is good, but it takes a lot of work.

How does something or someone get labeled (defined) indecent?

Miriam Webster dictionary defines indecent here.

Summarized, “grossly improper or offensive”.

Personally, i feel the most decent when i focus on ensuring my priorities are always being used in priority order.

So, long ago, i had an epiphany about regret.

Decided, also very long ago, to use my prioritized priorities to intentionally over-focus on managing my life with a compass, not a watch.

Expectations, home

disney look book — The Disney Look is driven by leadership expectations. Employees love the clarity. Leaders love the clarity too. The context for these expectations is that Walt wanted to rupture the negative stereotypes of Carnival workers. Disneyland in 1955 was closest to the circus, carnival, and amusement park industry. Disneyland was a ‘themed-park’.

Why are expectations important to share with the people you care about?

Expectations are life-context.

Context is king.

Context equals clarity.

Clarity is oxygen.

Oxygen is life.

Life is good.

Zero expectations, home

Examining and reflecting on myself, i ask…

What expectations are needed at home (HQ)?

What HQ expectations are nice to have?

What HQ expectations are unnecessary?

What HQ expectations are harmful?

Thoughts control habits.

Habits control results.

Therefore thoughts control my results at home (HQ).

And what happens to my habits and results if i reduce or eliminate unnecessary and harmful HQ expectations?

Project wind sprints

The extra inch (bottom left) traces back to 2011 when i began operationalizing the gift Kendal didn’t know he unwrapped.

Project wind sprints – a vision for how leaders (myself included) generally have contrasting (and reversed) priorities and outcomes during a project lifecycle.

We don’t sprint at the end, we sprint at the beginning. This is the best vision.

We don’t make compromises simply because bad planning means we’re running out of time. Also a great vision.

We eagerly highlight the challenges ahead, but spend no time casting blame after something fails. Perfect vision.

You cool with that?

You get that in real life we procrastinate the start, panic near the end, and scramble frantically to meet our deadline, right?

Be the change. Lead the great vision. Buck the herd mentality.
