Who you are as a manager and how you behave is very important. But to be really really good, perhaps you need to understand how to have multiple personalities?

Seeking Redundancy

Seeking redundancy is NOT the same as putting yourself out of work. It might just put your business into high gear.

What I’m talking about here is a way to create a thriving and driven business culture that supports all the things you want your business or business unit to be.

Not relying on “STARS” to hold up your business one that will really fly continuously in the right direction… UP!!!

Its an Interview NOT a social engagement

Happiness Joy Engagement

Engagement in staff is not about joy its about happiness.. know the difference? you should…. more importantly…. you should know where your happiness comes from.. it might help you work out where your staffs happiness comes from and get them engaged with your vision.

Happiness and peace in our lives comes from understanding how it all fits together.. not just pushing harder.
