"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?"
