WorkLife Balance & Employee Engagement
An engaged employee is likely a more productive employee. An attitude adjustment or a morph of strategy can foster worker loyalty for both small and large businesses. Addressing the concerns of your workers with regard to worklife balance is another way to create better relationships between the rank and file - and top brass. And those changes just might impact your bottom line in the end.

Setting Records and Attaining Lasting Achievement
Randy knew Joe from track & field. He told a story of one track meet. Joe arrived late. As a member of ROTC and the reserves he had parachuted twice that morning and then rushed to the track meet. Once arriving at Pacific Lutheran University in nearby Parkland, he took part in the one hundred yard dash, the 220, anchored the 440, and did everything but give out towels. He took first place in each of seven events. How many people would have just stopped at jumping out of the airplane?

Lesson #2: Keeping Your Connections to Customers is Key
The faith and courage with which Giannini gave out loans became something of a legend all throughout the Pacific coast. He made loans on a handshake to anyone who was interested, and he never turned someone away. His moral integrity attracted streams of clients from all over. But, Giannini wouldn’t look at what he did as risky. After all, he was a people person. He knew not only the names and faces of all of his clients, but also all about their families and their financial situations; these people were a part of his family now.

The Rhythms of My Life
I was in a board meeting yesterday with a company planning a major commercial release of their product “at the end of summer”. We managed to turn this into 8/31/09 at 11:59:59pm pacific time (since I don’t believe you can release something unless there is a time/date stamp associated with it.) As part of this discussion, we spent some time discussing the notion of a daily / weekly / monthly rhythm for both the CEO/CTO as well as the product team.

Providers Work to Profitably Meet Data/Video Bandwidth Demand
Friends in the Pacific Basin laugh at us when we talk about our 4G mobile service. When we say the infrastructure is being enhanced with LTE and soon we'll have 12MB bandwidth they look at us with pity. But when they look at our "all you can eat" service there is envy in their eyes. We don't bother telling them that the everything data plans are either capped or throttled and going away...why disillusion them? Some really smart people have an idea of how to build a new bridge and get us more bandwidth. It will come to pass even if the broadcasters don't like it because...there's money involved.
