Share Andrew Buck over at the Project Hut has a post today on Meeting Behaviors: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It’s a good post, but it oversimplifies in a few areas. More specifically, it falls into the trap of “all meetings have the same purpose.” Ain’t true. Buck’s comments are dead on for many meetings, but there’s [...] Share Tom Peters (a/k/a TomPeters!) has a terrific post today about building great first-line managers. I won’t repeat all 20 points here, but I want to call out a few specifically because they are so often overlooked in lists of this sort: 5. New 1LMs should “shadow” senior 1LMs for a significant period of time. (“1LM” is [...] Share Two weeks later and I’m still trying to puzzle out The Who’s flaccid performance at the Super Bowl. It’s no wonder they didn’t play their first hit, My Generation, with it’s tagline, “Hope I die before I get old.” I didn’t expect them to play it… but I didn’t expect them to get seriously old, either. “Things [...] Share Here are two humorous views of the future-is-now. Is the world full of amazing things? Or did it come up short? Check out David Wilcox’s Modern World: This ain’t the modern world that I remember My leisure time [...] Share It must be written, in the Great Book of Software Design Principles: Thou shalt never leverage the usability/design principles discovered by thy rivals. I’ve never actually seen the book, mind you. But I know it’s there. Why else would so many software designers follow the same rules so slavishly? This rule is sometimes called NIH, “not invented here.” [...] Share Today is Abraham Lincoln’s real birthday. None of the Presidents Day retail-holiday stuff for me. I celebrate Abe specifically, and recall when all students learned of his birthday. Of course, we spent more time in, say, fourth grade cutting out dumb silhouettes of the man than learning what he did and what he stood for, but [...] Share If there’s nothing certain, as Ol’ Ben put it, but death and taxes, Hamlet wrestled with only part of the question in his most famous soliloquy: To be, or not to be…. For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come! (This passage must set the record for titles derived from a single chunk of text. [...] Share Recently I wrote about ten things Microsoft doesn’t get enough credit for. Today I want to point out ten opportunities that they missed, things I was there for. I’m avoiding anything that is not public knowledge, of course. I’m not suggesting they should have jumped on all of these; it might not have been an economically [...] Share Yesterday I went through part 1 of a list of ten things I think Microsoft has done right. Some of these are major, industry- or world-changing items. Others are smaller but overlooked contributions that deserve to be recognized. All of it is my opinion; there’s no scientific method in play. Yesterday’s list included Driving down the cost [...] |
