business commitment organization
If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either.
organization tiny messages
Organizations grow when they persuade a tiny cadre to be passionate, not when they touch millions with a mediocre message
mean organization engagement
Discomfort brings engagement and change. Discomfort means you're doing something that others were unlikely to do, because they're hiding out in the comfortable zone. When your uncomfortable actions lead to success, the organization rewards you and brings you back for more.
organization people innovation
No organization ever created an innovation. People innovate, not companies.
acceptance organization ideas
There's no correlation between how good your idea is and how likely your organization will be to embrace it.
smart organization people
The organizations of the future are filled with smart, fast, flexible people on a mission
organization ideas knowing
If your project or organization depends on knowing things that other people don't know (but could find out if they wanted to), your days are probably numbered. Ask a travel agent The alternative, while difficult, is obvious. Provide enough non-commodity service and customization that it doesn't matter if the ideas spread. In fact, it will help you when they do.
media organization events
The reason social media is so difficult for most organizations: It’s a process, not an event.
organization people honest
An organization filled with honest, motivated, connected, eager, learning, experimenting, ethical and driven people will always defeat the one that merely has talent. Every time.
smart communication organization
Two different things: A crowd is a tribe without a leader. A crowd is a tribe without communication. Most organizations spend their time marketing to the crowd. Smart organizations assemble the tribe.
responsibility rocks organization
I'll confess that I don't watch the Olympics, but you'd have to be living under a rock to be unaware of the corruption and the expense. An amorphous organization with no transparency, unclear lines of responsibility, huge amounts of politics and a great deal of unearned power.
mistake organization fire
In general, organizations are afraid to fire customers, no matter how unreasonable. This is a mistake. It's good for you.
falling-in-love struggle organization
I find that it's almost essential to fall in love with an idea to invest the time it takes to make it good and worth sharing. And then, the hard part: deleting that idea when it's just not what it could be. Too often, organizations are good at the first part, but struggle with the second. And so we defend expired business models, support the status quo and have a knee-jerk inclination to preserve what we've got.
thinking organization way
... outsiders are way more likely to approach your organization with fabulous projects if they think they're likely to both get a good reception and succeed when they get to market.
