"Our mantra: brutal prioritization, maniacal focus." —Jeffrey Kalmikoff #99conf

I once had a boss who had hired five consultants.  I was one of them.  We had a former CEO, a lawyer, a former CFO, and me. 

A great team BUT he was the worst boss.  He was abusive of us.  He would call me Saturday afternoon and ask me why I was not in the office.  At times he would call one of us at 5 a.m and ask if we had checked our voice mail.

A complete nut job.... but he did use to say something that I never forgot.  He would tell us that we lacked Focus, Urgency, and Discipline.  I wondered if he was correct?

In my daily log I still have areas where I write FUD and ask myself what is it that I need to focus on, what requires urgent attention, and what is most likely going to require discipline.

Today's question is:
"What are you going to FUD today?"
